Question about Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) Console

Slimline PS2 disc not spinning

Hi, I read a similar problem to mine on this forum earleir. The only difference is that my problem relates to my slimline PS2. I put the disc in (any disc, PS2 game or DVD) and the disc doesn't spin and the console starts up as though there is no disc in it. Please help!

My ps2 wont read silver back disks. how do you fix it

Hi there!
When your PS2 starts to have problems reading silver backed discs you could be experiencing one of 2 different problems:

Your laser or disc is dirty (clean off your disc with a soft cotton cloth, and clean the laser in your PS2 with a cd drive cleaning cd)
The laser in your PS2 is going, you will need to take it into a shop to have it repaired, replace the laser or disc drive yourself (this will void the warranty if you have one) or get a new or different PS2.

Hope this helps!

Ps2 wont SPIN disks it tries to read and spins for like 1sec PS2 SLIM

If it's having issues reading ANY kind of discs (CD's, DVD's, PS2 games) it might be due to a malfuctioning lense or a disk rotator motor issue.

Since it's agaisnt the PS2 TOS to modify or take apart your PS2 you should contact customer support or tech support with this issue.

If there's that option is not aviable you should try ordering the required parts online from different distribuitors: http://www.eachgame.net/category-88-b0-min0-max0-attr-1-sort_order-DESC.html

Disc read thing (PLZ HELP!)

If you find out that it is spinning then the laser was probably knock ajar and will need adjusted. There are good step by step instructions on several sites if you search for that. I had to do it to mine that would spin and then say disc read error. The whole thing does have to come apart but when you have it apart the adjustment is the easy part.

PS2 Slimline - Powers up, Spins, No Game...

Sony machines have notoriously bad lasers. I find that with the slim if you have a small amount of nail polish remover on a cotton bud and dab the laser (whilst off and without touching the laser) that does the trick

Disc not spinnin'

I had a similar problem but mine didn't fall out luckily...

You'll find a space for the metal clip (please say you kept it) at the back left of the console (you may need a torch to see as it is quite small. The metal acts as a connector to tell the ps2 when the lid is shut and to commence disk reading, otherwise as you experienced, disks won't spin

PS2 Disc does not spin

just because you see read doesn't mean the laser is good.
the laser has to read the toc (table of contents) for it to read the toc it must be at the beginning, it must be at the right depth from lens to cd and the spindle must spin. now if you have to spin the spindle that means it most like is not reaching the beginning of the cd or the spindle motor is bad.

Ps2 slimline disc reading error

HI Heytev,

Three things.

The laser could be melted from extended attempts at reading an unreadable disc. If so, You need a new laser.
The Disc is not spinning which could be a motherboard failure. If so, you need a new motherboard
Dust has infiltrated the laser and contaminated the Mirrors or Pickup. If so, you need a new laser.

Ok now that you see the reasons, it is more likely you need a new laser. go to Ebay and buy you one. They are fairly simple to change. Call or email me when you get a New laser. My information is at www.playstationclinic.com Hope this helps you.
