Question about Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console

Noise/Not Playing Games

My silver slim line Playstation 2 isn't working correctly. I've had it for just over 7 months, bought it brand new from Amazon. Anyway... It's become (overnight) very noisy. Like an electric fan, not completely continuous noise, a bit broken. Sounds like it's struggling from the moment it switches on. I tried to play San Andreas; it wouldn't get past the title sequence. Then tried to play FF8. It worked (slowly and with lots of noise/effort) but the fight scenes were extremely slow to load. Then after a couple of fight scenes it froze. Hasn't worked since.

The game won't start after the PS2 logo ends

From experience i would say you have bought a wonderful game! Well if you have been playing it for a while you might have gotten a scratch on it. A little trick that i learned was to lush it in the toilet. This may not seem like its going to work but i have done this maybe 7 times and every time it has worked. Another thing you could do if its brand new, is to bring it in to the store you bought it from and ask specificly for a trade in as your game isnt working properly. And any data you may have used should be saved on your play station.

Hope this helps!

A silver slim ps2 is unable to play certain games

Okay, are you using the original PS2? If you are then it more then likely is the age of the console. The original PS2 console actually can't play some of the games that were made after the PS2 slim was released. If your using the slim than the only thing i can advise is to try using a laser lens cleaner disc and see if that helps :)

I have PlayStation 2. I bought the Metallica

Well if you have a slimline, keep on reading. If you don't still try it and if it doesn't work, it will probably only work in the ps2 slim, because of the way it reads.

While its trying to read the disc, turn it horizontal, then tap it against your knee a few times until you hear it spin.

I was so pissed when the game wouldn't work, but know it works in my SCPH-79001 silver version.

My son played his Rock Band 2 on my brother's PS2 and it played fine. He then bought his own PS2 and could never get it to play. He has a Tiger Woods game that works fine on both games. Both machines are...

Is tiger woods a blue disc or silver?

The silver discs are DVD and the Blue ones are CD (same with the black PSOne discs). If Tiger woods is a CD then your DVD laser could be out.

You can try to clean the lasers lens and see if that helps, but if you have jsut got that machine you should take that back.

My PS2 Slim plays music, black and blue discs, but doesn't play silver discs nor DVDs.

Is this a new problem or has your PS2 always had this issue? You cannot adjust the laser at all and are likely to damage it if you try, you can however clean the laser lens with a CD/DVD cleaning disk and you'd be surprised how often this resolves disk read issues. Some of these units did have a production fault that prevented them from reading DVD's, if your PS2 has had this fault since new and/or is under 12 months old you could probably have had it repaired/replaced by Sony but by opening it you will have invalidated you're warranty.
