Call up SCEA customer support. Sometimes they'll fix your ps2 for free. I keep getting error messages in San Andreas. Pissing me off. I called them up, looks like the fix is gonna be free xept for the shipping. We'll see.

They can be cured.

See the little white dial? That little thing controls the intensity of the eye, if its up too high, it wont read, if its too low, it wont read. Adjust the dial correctly, and your ps2 will work.

Here's the # I called today: 1-800-345-SONY (7669)

[dj89]

should i just tell them it don't read the disk?

[quik]

Take apart the ps2's top, take off the disc tray top, you'll see a little white dial.

I got a brand new ps2 for my birthday. All I can say is wow. It's a heck of a lot smaller then my original PS2 I owned (pretty much hacked off the bottom part the hard drive thing fit in). Plus it comes internet ready. :ninja: All I gotta do is get some newer games and I might be happy. Plus it's got the pop up top, rather then the slide out drawer for the rom. Pretty cool stuff.

[MrWallen]

I have one of the original first run PS2s, and nothing about it works anymore. I think I'm gonna try opening it up and poking around, otherwise I'm just gonna buy a new one (I need to play GTA:SA and still waiting for MGS3!!!!!!!)

[Chojin Man]

just remember if you open it up yourself. you void any warranty that you might have left on it.

Typically it helps to just take a Q-Tip with some rubbing alcohol on it and clean the laser read-eye. I don't have a PS2 or any game system for that matter, but the last time I saw a PS2 it looked like it didn't have a traditional flip-up lid like on a portable CD player, so getting at the eye might be a bit more time consuming.

[MrWallen]

Yeah, it doesn't have a flip top, it's a tray like on a PC, they did it like that to help prevent people from using illegal games.

[FreakBaller12]

I had the usual "Disc read error" problem. I called them...45 min. later they said it's a 100 dollar fix. I'm just going to get that new ps2 that says they fixed the DRE problem.

[MrWallen]

Yeah, I'm hoping they'll lower the price to $100 soon, or maybe I can find one that's in a package with some games or something for $150...

[RoadDawg]

The newer versions do. As I have one in my living room. Just released them from what I heard. :headbang:

[RoadDawg]

Here is the new version. Best Buy webpage (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1095432812044&skuId=6885454&productCategoryId=cat02164&type=product)

[WickeDKlowN]

Awhile back there was some sort of Class Action lawsuit against Sony for the DRE's and apparently if you called and *****ed enough or mentioned that they would fix it for free. The white dial trick works too. I bought a broke PS2 off ebay, tried that and sold it for twice what I payed.
