How can I fix my ps2 to watch region 2 dvds on it

the ps2 must be region locked. check the setting menu in order to determine if it's the right region for the disc you are attempting to load.

Causes:

1. DVD has lots of scratches
2. Regional Settings
3. Incorrect DVD settings for PS2
4. No/Incorrect Disc

Remedy:

1. Clean your discs well and avoid incurring scratches. Place it in
its box after use.
2. DVDs have encoding. They are encoded by regions. Thus, you cannot
play region 2 DVDs on a US Playstation mainly because the US
Playstation 2 can only read DVD that are encoded in Region 1 or
those DVDs that are encoded for all regions. Again, US PS2 are
region 1 capable. Japanese PS2s are Region 2 Capable.
3. There are a number of settings for the DVD playback of your
PS2. First is the rating of the DVD. If you want to watch a
rated R movie, make sure your PS2 allows viewing of R movies.
You'll be setting this during the first time that you'll be
watching a DVD. It's just the same as real theaters. It is also
protected with password so you need the person who set it up
the first time in order to bypass the rating settings.
4. Put in a DVD first and make sure that it is a Movie. And,
check #2.

it would have to be a europeon system to play these types, I did find a software that allowed the PS2 to read and decrypt these types of DVDs but you will have to run an external HDD on your system to play them.

Hi. It seems that you might have an old version of the PS2.

The original PS2's had a problem with the laser that read CDs and DVDs, often failing, creating problems with reading DVDs and in rare cases, CDs.

Unfortunately, the class action lawsuit filed against Sony is too old to get yours fixed for free, but there are ways to attempt to fix the laser yourself, if you would rather not send it in to Sony.

If you have any other questions, respond and I'll help you the best I can.

Good Luck!

U.S. PS2 plays U.S. PS2 games/dvds.
your PS2 will not play U.K. PS2 games/dvds.
PS2s are region specific.

it might be your ps2 console has locked in in certain type of regions... like other DVD players has region that ask for code.. like Asia has different region, USA has different as well & Europe as well.. if you buy the DVD in different region it might not play...

hope this help.

some dvds dont work

YOU CANT the ps2 is REGION LOCKED so you can only watch the dvds on the ps2 that match the region code, there is NO software to unlock this and there is NO way to make them work.

There is more than one model of PS2, and more than one PS2 DVD player module. For some models or modules, only a Messiah 2 or Magic 2 chip installation will make them region free.

However, many can be made region free, for free.
