Cant play games or dvds or music cds..... is there anything i can try to repair this problem. i have tried to restore and use fans to blow any debris/dust out aswell.
The laser sounds like is bad since its not reading anything. I would suggest replacing the drive with a known working one or a brand new one. That will take care of the problem.

I'm having the same ****... 10th time with the P.O.S.!!!
I found another posting... I've tried so many things, but this helped... for now anyway!!
Take a "Q tip" and clean the DVD lazer eye with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. That did the trick for me... again, at least or now..
Hope it works.

ive got a sony dav f200 home cinema system,it lets me play music cds but trying to play dvds(not copied or american) it comes up with and error code c:13:71. what does it mean?
MINE IS TWO YEARS ALSO MODERATELY USED AND IT QUIT PLAYING ANYTHING BLUE RAY..GAME DVDS...BUT NOW I CAN PLAY REGULAR DVDS AND PS2 GAMES THAT ARE NOT BLUE RAY..IM JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THE LASER IS OUT?CAUSE YOU CAN BUY THEM OF FEE-BAY FOR ABOUT 70.00..
Is this a new problem or has your PS2 always had this issue?
You cannot adjust the laser at all and are likely to damage it if you try, you can however clean the laser lens with a CD/DVD cleaning disk and you'd be surprised how often this resolves disk read issues.
Some of these units did have a production fault that prevented them from reading DVD's, if your PS2 has had this fault since new and/or is under 12 months old you could probably have had it repaired/replaced by Sony but by opening it you will have invalidated you're warranty.
Chances are, your DVD player uses one laser to read CDs, and a different laser to read DVDs (since Cds and DVDs are read at different wavelenghts of light). If the DVDs you're trying to watch work properly in other DVD players, it probably means that the DVD laser is dirty, damaged, or burned out. Though you can try cleaning the laser (use Google for suggestions on how to do this, or check the Audiovox website), you will most likely have to get the DVD player repaired, or buy a replacement.
Many of the newer CD/DVD players sold today use a single combination laser, which reads both CDs and DVDs, which means that when the laser fails, it will not work at all. Wish I had better news for you, but I guess that the only consolation you have is that your Audivox player still works with CDs...
