Ps2 Disc Read Error Fix Without Opening
complaining about disk read errors, so i have decided to post 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 ps2 disc not reading scratches and smudges, but somthing as little as a finger print or some dust can bring up 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 oneAnot

up to comment and more Sign up Ars Technica UK Opposable Thumbs — Dealing with PlayStation 2 disc read errors Ars console ps2 disc read error guaranteed fix 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 annoying Disc Read Error messages on http://www.gamespot.com/forums/games-discussion-1000000/playstation-2-disk-read-error-solutions-23572005/ 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 might be able to play some DVD movies, but your http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2003/11/ps2-repair-guide/ 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.

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.

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.

Let me know how it goes for you This guide will walk you through the process of repairing a malfunctioning Playstation 2 or one that gives you Disc Read Errors (called "DRE" from here on).
