How do you know the lens is blinking? You're not looking into it are you?

Your laser could be fried maybe!

You need a new laser then.

Plenty of sites do them (just google) or you could try ebay.

Make sure you get one for the right version.

I only have this to say: throw your Version 9 out the door. That, and the Version 10 are the worst of the fat PlayStation 2s to own. There's a chip in there that's a laser-killer(the LA chip), which is responsible for your broken drive. 1 of 3 things could have happened:

1- Your LA chip is damaged due to it overheating.

2- Your laser's coils are burnt.

3- Your ribbon cable is so badly damaged your drive and LA chip are broken.

If you have some money(not sure how much this version costs), find yourself a Version 7, identified as model number SCPH-39001.
