-   My playstation 2 is the slim black type.. it sits horizontal not vertical. It just played a sims game last night now today it is not working. Each time I turn it on it only goes to the configure and browse default and it does not spin the disk or even notice there is a game in there! I have no idea what to do.

I unplugged it for hours then replugged.
I checked all the wiring.
I tried to see if the cd stopper was stuck
I tried to play the disk open, and closed, and upsidedown
I tried to get it to work sideways, which others said worked.
Nothing has worked.
I was just about to buy sims 2 castaway too!
I don't play often either, so over use is no way the prob.

I can't afford another one.
What now? I don't get it.

This can occur if the Playstation has been knocked or dropped. On the slim version if you remove the screws underneath and remove the top cover you may find the the small drive shaft has been dislodged from the motor. Push it back into place refit cover and screws. This fixed my PS2 with this fault.

Sounds like your laser is on its way out or requires cleaning/servicing or calibration or all three, Really need an expert to check this out for you, Very common problem unfortunately.

There are many videos on how to clean and adjust the laser if you checkout www.youtube.com. Search on "playstation 2" (or 3 depending on your model)
At least you get to actually see someone fix the problem which is far easier than following written instructions.

Don't forget if your cleaning your own laser... that eye you see is just a piece of glass... underneath is a mirror and the laser. So remember to blow under the eye with compressed air... but be careful the laser sits on copper wires.
