PS2 stops reading disc (PLEASE HELP) Can't Post

 Hi . I'm new to this forum. Nice to meet you

My problem is my PS2 suddenly couldn't read any disc at all and I don't think it's the "Disc read error" thing many people have been talking about. (I guess)

My PS2 is about one year old. One afternoon, I played a game and my system worked fine as usual.I turned it off for awhile. When I turned it back on for another game, it sounds like it's reading the disc.

The screen where all the cubes and lights moving, now moving very slowly.. I waited until the menu screen showed up and it didn't go nowhere.. I clicked Browse and there's a message saying "Reading...". I waited for a few more minutes and gave up. (Sometimes it showed "Disc read error")

I've tried to play many kinds of discs PS1 CDs PS2 DVDs. Even Audio CDs didn't work. I was planning on buying a new laser reader before but now I didn't think the laser part's at fault. (since it worked fine before it died)

Do you know what's wrong?

Please give me advise on what I should do.

Thank you for taking time reading my story and thanks in advance for helping Smile

a lot of people would tell you to take your ps2 apart and try to fix it manually, problem is if you do that and fail to fix it your warrenty is history so you cant get sony to fix it



sent it off to sony and they'll fix it for you x)

The thing is I bought this PS2 from Thailand(I'm now in Canada) and I already voided the warranty by taking it apart once.(and it's not an official Sony warranty anyway Crazy)

In addition, my console has been modded, I don't think I could send it to Sony, could I? Frown

Thanks for replying Smile

My laser is ever so slighty screwed up ( I don't know if its out of alignment or what...), and cannot read disks with the blue back. So to get it to read, I set the PS2 up like a book and seems to work fine. Not that this applies to your problem but if you want to, try.
