Okay, so I have had my PS2 since they came out and I have just started having problems with it. The problem is that it will only read a couple of my games in it; this led me to believe that the other game discs were too scratched or that something was wrong with the game disc condition. I went out and purchased a couple of the games brand new, thinking that that would fix the problem and I would be able to play the game again. That didn't work, it still does the same thing. It loads the game from the browser just fine and comes up with the initial screen that says Playstation 2 on it, but then whenever it is loading the game itself, it freezes up. I have taken it apart and adjusted/cleaned the insides and I adjusted the laser eye with that little white wheel inside (this is what Best Buy told me to do) and it worked for about a day and then stopped again. If anyone has any suggestions (besides buying a new one b/c I don't want to do that), please let me know. Thanks
One of possibble solutions is to replace the optical unit (laser head). Please check the model of the optical unit and purchase the new & original optical unit. If you need more info please advice.
