I accidentally broke my white tab using the slide tool. If that's what actually broke, you can always crazy glue it back, BUT you'll probably need to flip top your PS2 now, since it'll be too fragile to manipulate the piece with a slide tool. I had to do an improvised flip top. It's not fancy but it's functional! lol
Open it up. If the part is broken (you can see it just by lifting the tray a bit) and you can't see the white tip, you can unlock the tray by forcing the white strip to the right. You'll notice the tray coming out by itself, until the white lock is completely loose (it's not exactly lose, it's just not locked up by anything and it has free movement. This is perfectly normal!) After it's unlocked, the tray will simply open without stopping if you press eject, since the strip is the locking mechanism the whole system uses to know whn the tray is in place.
The tray has a path the white strip followes through and depending on it's placing, the lens will start lifting up until it eventually locks in place for reading. The white strip also locks the tray's motor and doesn't let it burn up by pushing the tray in further than it should.
So, if you broke the little piece, not all is lost. You can either buy the piece again for about $20 bucks or crazy glue it for 1 or 2. But I'd hold down on using backups until the flip top arrives. After it's well glued, the PS2 should function as it normally does, but the part will break easily with the slide tool.
