Confirm the disc is inserted
correctly into the PlayStation 2 console (label side should be facing
up when the PlayStation 2 console is in the horizontal position).
Confirm
the disc is clean. To clean a disc, use lint-free cleaning cloths made
specifically for cleaning CD/DVD discs, sold at computer software
stores. When cleaning the disc, we recommend starting from the
innermost circle, and wiping out to the edge in a straight line. We do
not recommend wiping in a circular motion, as it may create more
scratches on the disc. [Note: Other materials, such as a paper towel
or a T-shirt, may also scratch the disc. If there are any scratches,
smudges, or fingerprints on the disc, it may not function properly.]
Try playing different CDs, DVDs, and games on the PlayStation 2 console to see if the problem exists across multiple discs.
To determine if the problem is with the disc itself, try playing the disc on a different PlayStation 2 console (or a PS oneTM or a standalone CD/DVD player, if applicable).
Confirm
that you are not using any game modification devices. Unlicensed
devices such as game modification devices can interfere with the proper
function of the software. We do not recommend the use of any game
modification devices or unlicensed products[1].
The PlayStation®2
computer entertainment system automatically adjusts console settings
for best possible disc playback. However, the auto-diagnosis feature
can also be manually started on the PlayStation 2 system whenever
necessary.
Auto-Diagnosis (PlayStation 2 system)1. Turn on the system without a disc inside.2. Once at the Main Menu, press the triangle button to enter the Version Information Screen.3. Highlight the "Console" option, and then press the triangle button again.4. Next, press the X button, highlight "On", and then press the X button once more.5. Now press the circle button twice to return to the Main Menu.6. Press the eject button on the front of the console, and insert a disc.7. Now close the disc tray, but DO NOT reset the system.8. Highlight the Browser option from the Main Menu, and then press the X button.9.
In the Browser, an icon of the disc should appear on the screen.
Highlight this icon, and then press the X button to read the disc.10. If the auto-diagnosis is successful, the disc should load properly at this point.NOTE: The auto-diagnosis feature will return to "Off" the next time a disc is inserted.
If u want to try alignment of lens you can try tilt adjustment.You have to open console.after removing top cover ,remove cover on drive.You will see optical assy,offcorce you can try claening lens first and than try adjusting two white gears at last.these gears are for tilt adjust ment.adjust slowly I mean teeth by teeth.this will take some time and courage.While trying no need to assemble complete unit ,you can test it when itsd open by removing white magnet which seets on the cd to suppoert disc while playing.

I just bought Guitar Hero 5 and it won't play. Megatrom games said I need to get my machine serviced as it will not accept dual layered discs like Guitar Hero 5. Where do I get it serviced? I live in Benoni, Gauteng, South Africa Ursula

For PS2's, if a disc is purple, it will more than likely not read it or not work after a prolonged use. Why is this?
