Won't read disc in hard drive

My ps2 won't read the disc in the hard drive. It says on screen that there is a disc in the drive but every time I click on it, it kicks my back to the main screen that displays my memory card and the disc. Do you think I need to get the drive cleaned? thanks

It' most likely that your hard disk drive is defective. Try to boot from a CD\DVD disc, if it does, you have a problem with your hard drive.

Ps2 Disc won't respond to a Ps3 when inserted.

Only the first version of the PS3 had PS2 backwards compatibility, They did make a special edition Metal Gear Solid version with it included but other than that no other PS3 will play PS2 discs... No matter what Add-On you install.

My ps2 is makeing a werd sound when reading dice

It's not able read the disc - try cleaning the disc, try another disc, etc to narrow down the problem. If it won't play any discs either the lens is dirty or an actual hardware failure in the unit.

My sony PlayStation 2 won't turn on

I believe your PS2 has a short circuit and needs another motherboard. If you can do this yourself, that's great. You can find Motherboards or a PS2 like yours that will not read discs or has Disc Read Errors but will boot up for about $25 on Ebay. If you're not comfortable with Changing out your motherboard, then click on the "Repair directory" at the bottom of this screen. On the Repair Directory Screen, select Video Game Consoles. Choose a good Repair shop.

I want to play duplicate dvds on my ps2 but i am not able to do what should i do can i do it at home

If you have backed up a game for ps2, you're going to need a mod chip or swap magic for your ps2 so it can read the disc, so first things first, BUY A MODIFICATION TOOL!!!
2You should try using Swap Magic, because it's the easiest, and you won't need to modify your PlayStation too much.
3But if you use SWAP MAGIC, you will also need a special mod chip, SLIDE TOOL, or a FLIP TOP COVER, you can learn more about those on the swapmagic website
4Read directions on the installation of mod chip, and swap magic before you do anything (you don't want to mess up, or else your ps2 won't work properly).
5Install your modchip/flip top cover/slide tool. (This is important, because it allows the disc to be removed and "swapped" without the PlayStation knowing).
6Follow directions that came with your swap magic discs, and you're basically ready to go!
7HOW TO USE SWAP MAGIC,Note you must have Swap magic 3.6 to boot on slimline ps2 and you need to do a none solder modding(no soldering)

Purchase a flip top (recommended). Let's assume you have the flip top and a copied ps2 game

1Now Insert the swap magic disc into the ps2,
2Press power on button until screens comes up.
- With option that says load cd open the top cover of the flip top.
- And take out the cd when it stops spinning.
3Now insert your Copied game and click Load CD.
4its that easy

Disc tray will not open. I've turned on &off several times and it won`t open the tray. tries to but won`t open

This problem is caused by a loose drive belt in the eject mechanism, you need to open the ps2 and replace the drive belt...

Take off the top cover, then take off the cover from the top of the dvd drive mech... then carefully remove the disc tray and you should see the belt near the front. Replace that belt and it should work fine again

On a couple of rare occasions the drive motor has been found to be faulty, but usually replacing the belt will fix it
