Hello everyone. I started using my Playstation 2 again the other night after a couple of weeks of inactivity and I am now have an extremely annoying problem.
I would play a game for a bit, then after 15 to 30 mintues of use the drive will try to load part of the disc, fail and completely stop spinning. This has the effect of stalling whatever game I am currently playing and requiring a reset. After a reset I'll be able continue playing then in another 15-30 minutes the same thing will occur.
This occurs when trying to play both original copies of games and backups on DVD-R.
As an example of what I would go through, I'd start up my PS2 with Bootmagic 3.6 put in the game disc that I'd want to play and carry out a special load. I'll be playing fine when all of a sudden the disc stops spinning completely and anything that would cause a read from the disc will cause the game to hang.
Specifics of my system are a slimline PS2. It's one of the more recent models that requires the MagicKeys II set.
Due to some issues I was having with the piece that holds down the sensor underneath the top of the PS2 case, I have open the case up and araldited that sensor down. The job was quite clean and I do not believe there is any excess glue anywhere else.
When the problem occured I was worried that what I glued down had been displaced but I opened the case up and checked the sensor. It is still very, very solidly glued down.
I still use the other two pieces of the MagicKeys II set to hold down the disc brake and the sensor that sits above the power button.
As previously mentioned I am using bootmagic 3.6 to boot international / backup games.
I have tried using the search function as well as reading the stickied lists and I couldn't find anything on this particular problem. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give. Also, apologies in advance if this question has been answered before.
If you need any more info please let me know.
Thanks,
Orion
