PS 2 will not turn on

I took my PS2 apart to clean and re-adjust the laser since it was not reading the disks. When I put in a disk, at first it read a PS one disk. Then I turned it off and put in a PS 2 disk and got the disk read error again. So I turned it off to re-adjust the laser again and when I turned the power button on, nothing happened. I get nothing, no fan, no red light on front, nothing. I pulled the battery out and put it back in about 10 min later and still nothing. I have checked the silver streamer connected to the reset button and it seems fine. Also, I have checked the power switch in back to see if it was loose, and it seems fine. So...now what?

    I can't take it back since it is one of the original PS2's that I bought when the PS2 came out some years back. Additionally, since I broke the seal on the back, the warranty is now void.

My PS2 will play DVD, But I get disk read error when I try to play a game. I have already took it apart and cleaned the lens, and also adjusted the lens wheel.

well it´s time to change the laser lens...you can force adjusting the dvd laser focus in the micro pot located under the ps2 lens...but it´s better to buy a new lens unit..

My ps2 isn't reading the disks, all it ever gives me is a disk read error or it goes to a screen that says "please insert Playstation or playstation2 compact disk." No matter what i try, i can't get it to...

Laser needs to be replaced or the dvd drive swapped since you already cleaned the laser and the motor. You can do a search on google to see if you can pick up a cheap one or go on Ebay to look as well. You already took the steps I would have done to troubleshoot the problem.

PS2 won't read disk sometimes

I've helped someone else with a similar problem here: http://www.fixya.com/support/t1300166-playstation_2_console_keeps_freezing

It's not enough to use a disk to clean the laser lens. You have to take the PS2 apart and clean the lens manually. Nicotine, Incense, diffusers, and other smokes and just time itself clouds the lens. Not only that but the part that the disk sits and spins on needs to be cleaned over time as well to assure the disk is in proper alignment and Is not just kinda spinning on the spindle.

In that link i posted above you be led to directions on how to take apart your PS2 and what parts to clean. The instructions I have posted in that tutorial is for the (FAT) PS2 model not SLIMLINE. If you have a slimline model you don't have to take apart anything just open your cover and clean the parts in the video.

Hope that helps,

PS 2 says no disk tried to put alternate disks but problem still persist

Your Laser is not seeing the Disc. Several reasons could be as follows:
  • Dirty lens on the laser
  • Bad ribbon cable not supplying power or reading the Laser.
  • Major misalignment of the laser
  • Motherboard Laser Driver IC burned up.
Alrighty then, you probably see now that when you get a no disc error, the fault is 99% related to the laser.

You have to clean it up and get all the dust out. Do not use alcohol on the Slim PS2 Laser. Use a q-tip dampened with rubbing alcohol to clean the lens. Dry the lens before you try it..
