I'm a little late to the party...but I just got a PS2 for $20 at a thrift store, and was disappointed to see the Disc Read Error when I tried to play a game. DVDs and CDs got the same error. I followed the instructions here, and turning the little white gear worked!
I marked the gear's current position with a Sharpie,

Ps2 Disc Read Error Guaranteed Fix
disc read errors Ars console guru Rob Nelson has the low-down on how to fix your PS2. Rob Nelson - Nov 10, 2003 2:20 am UTC reader comments 4 Share this story Ever gotten those http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix-the-PS2-Disk-Read-Error/ annoying Disc Read Error messages on your Playstation 2? If you have, I'll bet the first time you saw one was on the 31st day you've had it, after the Sony 30-day warranty expired. If you're real lucky, your PS2 might last two or even three years; eventually this error will hunt down your PS2 and settle down there. If it only affects you some of the time ? you http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2003/11/ps2-repair-guide/ might be able to play some DVD movies, but your favorite one never loads, or you can only play PSone games and not silver-colored PS2 games ? then chances are it's not a serious error and only requires minor adjustments to your PS2. Since it is out of warranty, there's little risk in opening it up and trying to fix it yourself before paying to send it back to Sony's repair center. The following guide shows you how to get the PS2 open, clean it out, make your adjustments, and put it back together without any hassles. Before we begin, I'd just like to say that if your PS2 is under warranty, get this taken care of by Sony. It's not worth voiding your warranty if you can survive without it for a week or so. If your PS2 can't read anything at all, cross your fingers and read on, but you may have a more serious issue than we can fix. I am using a model SCPH-30001 Playstation 2, with a U serial number. Newer models have different heatsinks and even a different chip layout on the motherboard. Some instructions may vary or not apply for other models. My apologies to modem users, but I'm go
6 Comments Filed Under: Gaming Tagged: ps2 Last night me and my girlfriend were going to face off in Guitar Hero. However, my PS2 just froze while trying to read the disc. After about 4 http://www.technipages.com/ps2-fix-disc-read-error minutes it said Disc Read Error. It had been getting this way for a while. It would take forever to read the game disc and it would sometimes sit forever at the Browser/System Configuration screen. http://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/video-games/114526.html The unit is 8 years old so I would imagine some filth has built up on the disc reading laser lens inside of it. I decided to clean it out to fix this problem. Here's how disc read it's done: Supplies: Cotton swab Small (micro) Phillips head screwdriver Standard Phillips head screwdriver Flat head screwdriver Canned air (optional) 1. Remove all peripherals from the Playstation 2. Discs, memory cards, controllers and modems. 2. Flip the unit on it's top. 4 rubber feet and 4 square plastic coverings need to be removed from the bottom of the unit. 3. Remove the coverings using a flat head screwdriver. Then remove all disc read error of the screws using the standard Phillips screwdriver. 4. Flip the PS2 back on it's right side. Remove the cover carefully, angling it down toward the front of the unit and flipping it over. Careful, there is a ribbon cable attached on the front side. 5. After the cover is removed, the top of the disc drive is revealed. The top of it must be removed with a small screw driver. Remove the 4 screws to it. 6. Carefully remove the top to the disc drive, and the inside is exposed along with the disc reading lens. 7. Using a damp cotton swab, gently clean the disc reading laser lens. 8. To finish things off you may want to use some canned air to clean out other parts inside of the unit. Put the PS2 back together and it will read discs just like it did when you first purchased it.

disc read error on most games a few work I here Click...Click..SPin and the Click is when it goes to spin but it doesnt and i tried a laser cleaner it still doesnt work any advice? Biggworm Unregistered guest Posted on Wednesday, December 29, 2004 - 05:01 GMTI just fixed a PS2 for a friend last night. I couldn't believe it worked. He was getting "disk read errors" whenever he tried playing a DVD movie or a PS2 game that was on a DVD. His PS2 still read music cd's and games that are manufactured on cd's, so I knew that the laser still worked. I was knew to PS2 troubleshooting, and I found this guide, and it worked. No more problems. http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/ps2.ars I hope it works for you guys. Let me know. It is fairly simple to do. swish New memberUsername: MakobuddhaPost Number: 3Registered: Jan-05 Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2005 - 13:02 GMTIf you still need the guide l have the guide my self if wanted email me at swencel@canada.com Ellis Unregistered guest Posted on Monday, January 31, 2005 - 21:06 GMTIf it is still under warrenty, send it in!

On mine there was a white flat ribbon cable on the lower right side near the front as you look at it, that came out. I needed tweezers to put it back in where it goes. Anyway, look fo ran unplugged cable. whipthangUnregistered guest Posted on Monday, May 30, 2005 - 16:35 GMTHey, Marvin, don't panic, some little cable probabyl came out whel you took it apart.
