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, and turned the gear by "clicks". The gear clicks whe

Rob Nelson - xbox 360 disc read error Nov 10, 2003 2:20 am UTC reader comments 4 Share this story 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 http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix-the-PS2-Disk-Read-Error/ 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 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 http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2003/11/ps2-repair-guide/ 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 going to throw in a lot of pictures. You'll find plenty of other PS2 repair guides, but most have blurry pictures, pictures taken from across the room, or none at all. My aim is to show you every little part you have to deal with, so there's no confusion. Remember, spare parts are not your friend! We're only going to need a few tools for this. Grab your PS2, a normal-size Phillips and a flathead screwdriver, a small or jeweler's

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). I take no responsibility if you screw up your system.*****This procedure is to change the angle of the PS2's laser lens. It is safe as long as you don't touch anything while the system is plugged in and do NOT look at the laser if it is reading something.Take out the screws on the bottom and either remove or cut the warranty label on the back under the power switch. Looking at the front of the system, tilt the top half towards you as you lift. Be careful on the right side is a ribbon cable that connects the power/reset buttons to the innards. Set the top off to your right and take out the small screws keeping the lid on the DVD drive.You'll need to have the dvd tray open so plug the PS2 back in and open the tray. Kill the
