hmmm it sounds like you know what your doing, so itll probably be running again soon.
the little CD tray on my PS2 somhow broke..the lttle logo fell off, dosent matter it still works. I had a PSX and it didnt work for a full YEAR, then all of the sudden started working
btw i found that a lttle windex on a tissue can clean up a CD like nobodys business
That happened to our PS2 last year, somehow (I think our stupid dog tripped over a cord from the controller) it got knocked off the TV and the disc tray would get stuck and it kept giving us a disc read error. We ended up sending it to Sony and they fixed it for free
How did your PS2 get messed up? Did something happen to it or did it just randomly stop working?
Hmm....I know they have these CDs that are supposed to clean the lens or something (don't ask me how they work) but we got one of those when our PS2 was broken and tried it. The laser alignment in ours ended up being off (which is why it wouldn't work) so the cleaner disc didn't do anything, but give that a try and see if that works. It may help.
And most times when I've heard of PS2s not working they'd not play DVD-ROM games but would play CD-ROM games just fine...that's really strange.
Back when I still had my Gamecube I got a scary red looking error message saying my disks could not be read.
I called the number on the back, gave the nice girl my serial number, she EXTENDED my warranty, gave me the address to a repair shop 5 minutes from my house, went to the shop, turned in my old Gamecube and they gave me a NEW one!
Nintendo really knows how to treat their customers!
.....( My Cube had a defective hardrive that was part of the initial batch when it first came to the US)
hey lance. damn this problem has been in my ps2 for ages, and it is so damn annoying. however there is 1 way 2 fix it. open the box and clean the lens with COTTON. c if that works

i think everyone should learn to take apart their PS2 (or other consoles) and give it a good cleaning with a can of compressed air. I did it to my xbox (which i treat like gold) and i found all kinds of gross dust and grime...i was amazed it still worked
I did clean it with cotton and rubbing alcohol, like I was told to by some experts.
I am able to play the majority of my games, but only if I turn Diagnosis on every time I turn the machine on, and I have to wait twice as long for loading times.
The one game I wanted it to work with, the only game I got the second control for, Star Wars Jedi Starfighter, doesn't work, at all.
My mom accidentally dropped the PS 2 on the floor. I could insert the disks but always got a black screen. Still under warranty, I send it to Sony and they repaired it for free. But somehow, it plays the PS 1 games and DVD' s but it refuses to let me play my PS 2 games. I always get an error message saying that the disk cannot be read. The disks should work fine though. I checked them on scratches or anything but there' s nothing to see. Any suggestions before I send it to Sony again?

Um...is it a valid version of the game? Or is it a game imported from a different country? because if its a PAL or w/e your ps2 might not be able to play that format.
It' s definitely a valid version and before the PS 2 got dropped on the floor and repaired, everything worked just fine.

That really sucks! I'm just glad my Gamecube still works after being in a REALLY DUSTY AND DEBRIS filled hole in the ceiling. I don't really have a clue on how to fix it.
