Owners of early PS2 models purchased from launch until spring 2002 commonly reported faulty optical drives in their consoles. The earliest drives suffered from a constantly misaligning laser lens but later defects were the result of a shift in voltage to the laser itself. The first problem was relatively easy to remedy, but it required opening the machine's casing and tweaking a cog that controlled the lens' distance from the discs it was supposed to read, thus voiding the warranty. This usually didn't matter, as in most cases the warranty already had expired by the time such problems began to appear . The second fix involved the use of an oscillator. As time went on, more and more drives began breaking down and a class action lawsuit was filed against Sony. They had the option of either paying the requested fines in damages, or offering free repair and replacements at their discretion.[4] Sony chose the latter and, until February 2005, they honored their agreement. In the UK owners suffering from this flaw must pay Sony £50 (as of spring 2005) to get their machines repaired.

beginning of 2005 it was found that some black slimline console power transformers bought between November and December 2004 were faulty and could overheat. Sony had to recall every one of them, supplying a replacement model made in 2005

One month prior to its North American release, Sony Computer Entertainment America slashed its PlayStation 2 shipment plans from a million units to 500,000 because of reported component supply shortages. Sony disclosed that one of the problems causing these shortages for the PlayStation 2 was the result of process-migration troubles of the "Graphics Synthesizer" chip at its Nagasaki fabrication facility.
