PS2 problem

[air_edwards23]

yesterday i was playing live and then i turned it off. Today i turn my ps2 back on but now when its trying to read the disc its making this sound as if its breaking the disc and i had tried all my games and none of them worked. Can some one explain to me what this is?

[Jackal]

It's fried. I think it's something with the laser. If I'm not mistaken The G.O.A.T. and Andrew (to name a few) have had the problem.

No use fixing it, chuck it out or sell it to a P...nevermind.

[Andrew]

Sony charges and arm and a leg just to look at it without any guarantee of fixing or replacing it...well, here in Australia anyway. It was cheaper for me to replace it with a PS2+ (basically the same as the first except it's more efficient, the laser is better and it has the infrared unit for the DVD remote inside the unit rather than being a peripheral device).

Ye man. My PS2 is jus like urs air edward. It makes some kinda fucked up noise like its scratchin'. So far I am on my third PS2. Two are already in the garbage.

[Doobie]

Same thing happened with my ps2 , but the games still worked . It lasted about 20 minutes in the "reading disc" screen . But after that time , it worked .

I got my first PS2 like 3 months ago

But this time, i'm getting a PS3 "on time"

[KIG1]

mine has never done that and i bought mine used along time ago

How long have you had your PS2?

[Chris.]

mine had that problem too and so did my friend and he hit it hard on the top and it worked again so i did that aswell and now my PS2 is working... for now i think it could just cut out any day since it made that noise

If your talking to me i had it since the 2003 christmas

[air_edwards23]

So what should i do with it get it fix or chuck it

[Riot]

Try calling Sony and asking them if they can fix it, if they can't then toss it or try to sell it on ebay. Believe it or not, some people actually buy broken items.

[Jackal]

That's actually good advice, type collectors edition on it & spray paint it gold. Bam, you'll be getting high bids.

Yup, if someone will buy a piece of toast in the shape of Jesus for $10,000 then you should find a buyer for a spray-painted gold, broken PS2.

[Andrew]

The precedent of the laptop that's been blown away by a shotgun selling for $279US (or whatever it was, it's been a while since I saw that episode of the Tonight Show) also suggests people will buy anything...even if it's clearly advertised as broken and useless.

I did, but it was no use. The laser was shot though, so it didn't work. Apparently you're not supposed to use those regular cleaners anyway, though I wouldn't be surprised if that's just Sony trying to get more money out of you for repairs.

[air_edwards23]

if i brought it to like a video game that repairs them what is the price change i'm lookin at?

[Kbryant8]

i had that same problem,laser is dirty.Clean it with alcohol r smt and it works.At least it worked for me...

[air_edwards23]

how did you get to clean it out? l
