Ps2 Disc Read Error Guaranteed Fix
free (they did for a short time, but not anymore) - $45 to fix it or $75 for a refurbished PS2. Phone # for sony: 1-800-345-sonyIf you're getting DRE or game freezes and your warranty is expired:1. Try ps2 slim disc read error cleaning the game disc.2. Try standing the ps2 vertically (my ps2 would freeze quite often with Kingdom Hearts' cutscenes and this did the job)3. You can try a cd player cleaner kit but I'm not sure how effective those are.4. Open the PS2 up, it's quite easy. You'll need a phillips screwdriver and one that would fit tiny screws. Just be somewhat careful when taking off the top part of the casing since the eject/power buttons are connected by ps2 disc read error easy fix a ribbon to the system. There's a lot of slack at least two inches but as always take your time. Then clean the laser lense with q-tip and water or alcohol.5. Mark the initial spot of the white cog and then just keep testing the different positions. You can also adjust the tilt of the laser by tightening loosening the little black screw that's holding the laser to the rod. Use a white crayon and make an initial mark.website for the above steps: http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/ps2.ars6. If all that doesn't do it you can adjust the resistance/voltage for the laser. You've really nothing to lose since a PS2 w/DRE is essentially a giant paperweight otherwise. Make sure to unplug the system. It's good if you have a multimeter (you want to measure the ohms of resistance). Unscrew the two screws that hold the rods (that the laser sits on) down. The laser is still connected by a ribbon but you don't have to take it off; just flip it over and you should see two screw like things. These actually control the resistance thus the voltage that the laser receives. If you're having problems with reading CDs (ps1, ps2 blue discs) adjust the one on the right. For dvd's it's the one on the left. I did this (even without a multimeter, I just turned it ever so slightly) on a DRE ps2 that co

This is a little thing that's happened along the way.My PS2 died on me the other day. I had just played through GTA: San Andreas. Near the end it was giving me some clicks and a Disk Read Error screen from time to time. But it always seemed to catch up with it's self and let me play longer.It started giving me more and more trouble with movies. I would get loud clicking, sometimes grinding sounds, until finally, it crapped out completely. I knew there had to be something I could do. I had seen replacement components on places like Deal Extreme, so I figured there had to be a fix. Instructables was the first place I looked.Not much help here. Just a tutorial that mentioned cleaning the laser eye which I very much doubted was the problem, considering I could definitely hear mechanical clicks.I searched around the web and found lots of guides, but all of them were stuck on the idea that the laser eye was dirty and cleaning it would allow the system to read some games but not DVDs.A few mentioned that the laser eye's height might have been misaligned, and because of this, the gears couldn't grip the gears

Rob Nelson - Nov 10, 2003 2:20 am UTC reader comments 4 Share this story disc read Ever gotten those 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 disc read error the time ? you 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 apologi
