Question about Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Console

3 Answers

PS2 will not play games

My son's playstation 2 (4 years old) starts up, but will not read his games. I have cleaned ALL his games, tried them several times, reset the system, deleted some old saved games. The only thing it does is go directly to the browser. Upon deeper inspections it does not appear that the "turn table" lack of a better word is spinning. Unfortunetly he keeps the playstation on forgetting to shut it off.

Try coating the laser lens with egg white, this diffracts the laser light which will pick up lost information due to a weakened/damaged laser.

The games are fine it is the system. it needs a cleaning. if it trys to read it it needs to be cleaned. if it trys to read it and it says error/ cannot read then the laser needs to be adjusted. if it just does not do anything, you need your laser replaced. send it in to a game system repair center. connie

Not reading disk
This happend to my son last night. He could not get any games to work. You ned to get a can of air the stuff you would use for the key boards for you computer to clean. Open the tray of the ps2 and spray air in there. There is dirt on the laser that reads the disk. If that does not work you need to open it to repair it. I have a link if you need to do that if this does not work. The caned air fixed my sons though it is 7 years old.
If this does not work you need to open it to repair it. I have a link that will explain how to fix if you need just ask on here with this post
Good Luck

1. CLEAN THE LASER. ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST. MOST TIMES THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO GET YOUR SYSTEM BACK RUNNING A 100% AGAIN

2. IF THE LASER CLEANING DON'T WORK ON YOUR PS2 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE THEN TRY ADJUSTING THE LASER VOTAGE.

3. IF THE LASER VOTAGE DON'T WORK YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE LASER

Ps2 slim console
Have you ever gotten the games to work? Possibly the games you have are for the wrong region (region 1 is north america, region 2 is europe + australia, region 3 is asia). Each PS2 is set to work only with 1 region, and only the games for that region will work in the ps2. So, say you have game x and game y... If game x works in your ps2, and game y doesn't, it is possible game y is for the wrong region... You could try taking your stuff down to your local gamestop, and they might be able to help you determine what region your ps2 and games are.

Try something like this

Playstation won't read game disks
What you probably have is a disc read error, if you don't want to get a new system first you can always open it and repair yourself but that voids the warranty but is voided after the 30th day, I have tried it a few times in the past and it works but is time consuming and if your not careful you can break it beyond use. But if you're brave read this article.

Slimline PS2 only plays PS1 Games and not PS2
Clean the LAsers Lens with Q-tip lightly dampened with Glass cleaner, then dry the lens. Try it see if that gets it going again.

If not your lasers lens and supporting frame is probably melting down. You will need a new laser.
Click on "repair directory" at the bottom of this screen. Then click on "Video Game consoles" Pick a good repair shop.
