Question about Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console

I have a problem

Ive got a playstation 2 slimline console, every PS2 game an error would state that unable to read disc or that I need to insert a Playstation Station 2 game (which I already did of course). So I tried to play a CD or a DVD and it works perfectly fine. Please let me know how I can fix this and if you are able to let me know the reason for it not working properly. I am also not sure if changing anything on the version of the browser or changing the system configuration may cause this to not work properly. Thanks for your assistance, Eloise

It is probably because you need to clean the lens or have it adjusted. Hopefully it just needs a cleaning. Just be careful because when you open a slim there is a connection that if you pull it wrong or too hard, you can snap the connection and ruin your playstation. If you can open it, then I suggest that you get a qutip dab a bit of rubbing alcohol on it and clean the lens. connie

I bought a used slimline ps2; and it plays some games but not other; it won't play two brand new games i bout metal gear solid 2 and god of war... there are no scratches on them whatsoever, and it says...

This means the laser of the playstation 2 has problems, and is going bad. This is very common with playstation 2's. If possible you will need to return it to whomever / wherever you purchased the unit. If you bought it on ebay you can file a paypal claim stating the item is defective. Please make sure you rate my answer 4 thumbs if possible, it would help me a great deal. I would be forever grateful!

Fake cds

In order to play copied games, you will first have to mod your PS2. To avoid piracy, much of the necessary info on the original disc will be omitted during the copy phase. When you "mod" or put in a new chip, The PS2 can now bi-pass this info and continue to the game. Regardless of the type of PS2 you have, you must put in a mod chip to read back-ups.

Ps2

This is because the initial read zone on the PS2 is now needed to get the PS1 game past the boot stage. I've seen this done and it's simliar to a hot-swap disc. The only solution is really a new PS2, but good luck in continuing this little "cheat" on the error: it should work indefinitely
