Ps2 Disc Read Error Clicking Sound
posts) - 11 years, 1 month ago Ok i have decided to post this because i have seen alot of people complaining about disk read errors, so i have decided to post http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix-the-PS2-Disk-Read-Error/ this to help everybody. Well first off before you go on crazy rampage and crack it open or buy a new ps2 do 3 simple things:Most of the time this problem is due to dirty disk, it is amazing that some disk can work perfectly with thousands of scratches and smudges, but somthing as little as a finger print or some dust can bring up http://www.gamespot.com/forums/games-discussion-1000000/playstation-2-disk-read-error-solutions-23572005/ that awful disk error. *some tips on cleaning disk* - first of all use a clean cloth(duh :roll: )preferably a disk cleaning cloth. -clean from the inside out instraight lines. -be carful what you clean with best stick to retail cleaners for cds (i use windex but its not recomended) -the most important thing is to clean softly do not rub because you can kind of wax the cd if you rub too hard. -the safest path is just to go buy a cd cleaner at walmart If that does not work then a simple solution is to turn the PlayStation on its left side. Trust me i know it sounds stupid but it works wonders:P. *make sure you have it prorerly suported the last thing you need is your ps2 to take a dive of the game table.*If those 2 dont work then you could try cleaning you lens by using a cleaning disk like this oneAnother solution is to open you disk tray then turn it off and spray the heck out of the tray and the slot in the ps2.

Not Plugged In¶ There needs to be a power source for the PS2 to work. Make sure that your PS2 is plugged into the wall outlet, that the outlet works disc read and that the power plug is plugged into the PS2. Faulty Power Switch¶ This could result from a number of things but ultimately you will need to replace it if this is the problem. Use this guide to help you. Power Light Goes Red After Turning On¶ There have been instances when a connection from the main power switch on the back of the console becomes loose from the internal power disc read error board. If you think this is the case, follow the steps in this guide to get to the power switch circuitry. A complete power switch may be necessary, or you may just need to solder any bad connections. Disc Drive Errors¶ Problems with discs working in the game system. "Disc Read Error"¶ If this error message is shown, the fix is really simple. All you need to do is open your disc drive to clean the lens. Laser is Broken¶ If your PS2 still doesn't work after cleaning the lens, it could be that the entire laser is broken and needs to be replaced. There could also simply be a broken connection, or an unplugged cable that needs to be fixed. In either case, refer to the laser replacement guide to help you. Disc Drive Needs Replacing¶ If the above steps have been taken and you still get disc drive errors, it is time to replace the whole disc drive. Overheating¶ System seems to be getting too hot. Faulty Cooling Fan¶ If you look on the back of the PS2 and the fan isn't spinning, it may be time to replace the fan. The fan is connected with just one small plug inside the unit, so before resulting to a com

User Info: cdeguzman cdeguzman - 8 years ago Top Voted Answer (This is a copypasta from a topic on the boards I made the other day)Your laser is old or out of alignment by just a little bit. It happens as they get older. I have had the same problem. My system is a launch model and I've had to do this twice. All of my games would read except one (Star Ocean: TtEoT). My system was out of warranty already so I said "ahh, what the hell" and opened it up.If yours is still under warranty, don't do the below...*****Disclaimer: The following process is described exactly as I have done it (several times for friends/family member's PS2s).
