Hey guys, this is Stan the Technical Support Guy. I?m here to help you all out. We?ve noticed that several production runs of Playstation 2?s shipped with faulty Integrated Flux Capacitor Laser Lens Head Tracks (or IFCLLHT). What happens is after about 3 months or so the IFCLLTH begins to bind up a bit due to quantum bit irregularities in the drive mechanism forwarding state relay.

Not a problem though. There?s a two stage solution and you?ll be good as new. First, you?ll need at least an 18oz Rubber Mallet and some WD40. Disconnect your unit from any power sources (remember, Safety First!) and set it on a sturdy, level surface (kitchen table is fine). Next, take the mallet and very gently but with some force whack the side of the unit closest to the CD Drive 3 times. Next, take the WD40 lubricant and apply a 3 second shot to a blank CD-Rom Disk making sure to coat both sides with lubricant. Plug your unit back in, eject the drive and place the newly lubricated blank CD-Rom in the tray. Allow the unit to boot. After 30 seconds or so eject the disk, shut the unit down completely and let it sit for about 15 minutes. If all goes well you should be good as new! Test it out with whatever game or DVD wasn?t working before. If it still doesn?t work repeat the entire process 3 or 4 times. If your still having problems after all this try emailing technicalsupport@playstation2.com. Make sure you put ?Faulty Integrated Flux Capacitor Laser Lens Head Track issue? in the subject line so it gets routed to the right service department.

Good Luck!

Sincerely,

Stan the Technical Support Guy
