ok I haven't played my ps2 in a while & have been trying to get it to work for over a hour but nothing. all it keeps doing is starting, act like sits reading the game & gonna start, but then just goes to the screen where you choose either the memory card or the disk. choose disk & just keep going back to the same screen over & over. Have tried cleaning the laser. the game is brand new out of package. pretty sure this is why I stopped playing it. can anyone help me out on this, how I can get it to read disks again with out going to buy a new one?

I would clean the inside and the laser, or use a DVD laser cleaning disc, if you dont want to open your PS2, and canned air.

Do you get "Disk Read Error" or does it do just like you say and goes to the screen where you choose memory card or disk.

You may need a new laser if your getting "Disk Read error" and you have cleaned your laser.

They aren't expensive in the slim ps2, you just need to make sure to either have the retailer desolder the anti-static points or you have to do it when you recieve it.

Ok so no Disk Read errors. That is good.

What version PS2 do you have. Either press Triangle in Browser screen, or look on bottom or back for the SCPH-xxxx

Do you have a modchip or anything like that installed?

Does it read any of your PS2 games at all? or does this happen with all games?

Ok, no problem. So we know the disc spins, but doesn't read it, yet no errors are showing on your screen.

Does your laser light up, do you know. You should be able to see it through the disc.

I would have to say it is the laser most likely and would need replacing.

I will wait til you get home to post what version PS2 slim you have.

Hello, just found this now ;) and i'v already bought another PS2 but their both phat so...
Anyway 1 of them does not work at all! It reads the disk... and then i launch the CD/DVD... black screen then the browser menu again w/ the CD/DVD i put in.
The only difference is when I try to play Test Drive Unlimited i get to the first loading screen (though it takes abnormally long to get their) then it just loads forever.
But otherwise the PS2 doesnt do anything els.
No mod chip or anything done to it (I did take it apart to see if i could fix it but no luck).

I was gunna install linux on it but I read u need the disk to boot into linux every time, let alone install it.

Help would be appreciated ^.^ But I do have the other one too, so dont rush yourself! ;P

If your laser does not light up at all, first check the cable is intact to laser and ps2 mobo

If it is intact, then you need a new laser
