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 I'm 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 it's 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 laser.. have you played any dvds on it

I had the same problem an I took mine apart and cleaned the lense with a q-tip an some alcohol. It works good now but the lense still needs cleaning every so often.

Thanks all for your help ps2 is working now... had a friend of mine replace lense... I have the model where there was a recall on a power cable (possible fire hazzard). Anyway started thinking the cable was fring the laser?? Don't know
Anyway thanks.

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...

Try blowing it out, the PS2 Mini gets dusty real fast.

Hello, A friend of mine had the same problem but we were able to fix it using the help of a great tech support site that help you deal with these errors.

Here is the page for PS2 Support

Good luck
