ps2 not working

bigbadd · #1 Aug 7, 2006, 05:42 AM

hi all
could someone tell me the answer of what i can do here?
when me ps2 was still under warranty..... i had a problem with "not reading disks" error. I sent the console out for repair and when it returned.... things worked fine.
Now, the games will not work again! No error comes up at all this time and im finding there is a constant clicking noise coming from it. It constantly reads "reading disk" but nothing happens.
What can i do thanks

perhaps the disks are dirty or damaged?

no disks are not scratched or dirty its the console itself....i was wondering if anyone has had this problem and how to fix. thanks

maybe the lens is dirty. This can be resolved with a lens cleaning disk. The disk is an ordinary disk except it has cleaning brushes on it.

i'm having the same problems and i've been told its because if you play movies on your ps2 it screws up the lazer.. have you played any dvds on it

You probably need to adjust the height of the lens inside your ps2.
I did to mine and never happened again.
There is lots of websites on the web that show you step by step how to fix this problem...
