I'd recommend taking it back to the store and getting a new one.

Cool

You should clean it with a cd cleaner and clean the van at the back

hope that helps

I had the same problem with my PS2. Some of my games wouldn't work. Then it got worse, until I always received the "Disc Read Error" message for every game. I called Sony and they offered to fix it for free because it was defective (lense). If your PS2 is a SCHP-30001 model then you probably have the same problem.

Exclamation Sorry i aint been back 4 a while

I have cleaned it it dosent work, its not that model number and when i rang sony they just said run a cd lens cleaner through it again so i dunno. I bought it when it first came out and i had a sort of 1 year warranty with it but thats passed long ago so i dunno what to do. Also one other hting is puzzling me - what is the expansion bay at the back of the ps2 and whats it for?

There are different versions of PS2. Mine was version 5, (Newest in America), and version 7 was the newest version in Japan. If you have bought your PS2 the day it came out, you are in deep trouble. It is said that version 1-3 PS2s have laser problems and won't last long. However, the problem was fixed in version 4-7 PS2s.

^ACK^

This is true, I have two freinds wo's machines have been on the fritz. Both bought it when it first came out....

1's ps2 doesn't read newer games. It only plays the older ones.
He doesn't play with it anymore

the 2nd is failing to play the newer games too. he bought sims and its not reading it..

I bought mine a few months after em, so mine might start actin up soon too, I'm not sure what model it is though

mine did that to after a couple months or so. Try this open the lid but dont insert the cd blue bottom yet. press trinagle. go to the top choice press what ever is required turn the diagnosis on. exit out to the main menu insert the blue bottom and go to Browser.


IF that doesnt help then I have no idea.

Never heard of that problem before, seeing as your warranty has run out, ring sony and ask how you can fix this......

OK apparantley the only way to fix it anyways even though i got it done professionally is adjusting the lens voltage. Please do it if youre an electrician otherwise DONT...
