Hello everyone, i have problem with my PS2, it stopped reading discs, this happened when i was playing Tekken 5 (original disc) and while playing, i proceeded to the next stage and then just stopped at the character pictures, i waited for long time and nothing and so i restarted my PS2 and it didn’t read the disc, i tried another original disc and nothing, i tried a blue disc (the other ones were silver) and it worked but it stucked at the first text screen, so that means it still can read blue discs but will stuck at the first loading I tried all my original DVDs and nothing, i opened the PS2 and tried to see if i can fix it, there wasn’t a lot of dusts and cleaned the laser eye (the thing that the red laser comes out from) and nothing, i tried turn the two white gears and still nothing but i noticed something, when i put a silver disc the laser eye starts going up and down inside and makes the clicking sound, a soft one so i think this could lead me to my main problem My model number is SCPH-50004, very similar to the SCPH-50001 So any help please ?
The raising and falling of the lens is an attempt to read the disk, the laser is trying to focus. This is normal. Theclick is when it returns to the “down” position. If you have cleaned the lens using alcohol and a cotton swab and the behavior continues, it is time to replace the laser assembly. This does happen after a long while. Dan
