Well I think the PS2 might be broken completely. The PS2 took a fall onto our new Stone floor and the Motor and Lens Track stopped working. The cable seems to be plugged in. Any ideas of what might be the cause would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching the forms, but not having any luck with it.

It is a 77001, the laser does not move, I do not hear anything moving, and the spindle is stationary. is there anyway to tell if this is an issue with the motherboard, or if something else like the laser or spindle is broken.

To add on to this, I am not sure if it may be one of the lid sensors. The laser does not move at all, and does not even go back to a default position. When it fell, the disk had poped off and I could hear the spindle spinning against the disk. Could this be a broken lid sensor?

Well I decided to call a PS Repair business.

Tech Rep told me problem:
Lens moves using a screw. The fall caused the Screw to pop out of the slot which holds it in. This locked up the lens and stopped ps2.

Solution:
Took PS2 Apart, popped the Screw back into the track, Ps2 works perfect.
