Sounds like a "Disc Read Error." If I were you, I would google exactly that. Also, you may want to first determine what PS2 version you have. To do this, locate the label on the rear of your PS2. Specifically, look that digits following the SCPH Prefix.

I don't think you'll have any problem finding a good "how-to" with illustrations to help you.

Also, on a related note, even if this fixes your system, you'll only get about 6 more months out of it - if you're lucky. But, if this DOES work, at least that will buy you some time to come up with the $40 or so dollars for a new laser.

Good Luck!
