My PS2 is making noises every time the Reader eye hits up against the Cd

Try laying the console flat and upside down...it sounds like the '2-cent' clip on the laser eye is broken, which is allowing the eye to jam...repositioning as stated gives it more clearance to move by taking the tension off. Hope this helps!

If the grinding noise occurs while you have a disc inside then it could be the len rubbing against the Cd. This problem normally happens in Slim Line editions of playstation2's. If the disc is blue coated, the playstation2's lens finds it hard to read the disc. Resulting in the lens moving closer to the disc. This is avoidable, try standing up your playstation. Or avoiding Blue coated disc.

the optic reader is most likely broke where the thin laser eye beam is not able to communicate with the optic reader. also the high temperature in the car causes these to crack internally. get another cd player because that one is toast!!!!!

Well first off, make sure the disk if in PS1 OR PS2 format. That is what the PS2 Is requesting when it says "Please insert Playstation or Playstation 2 format disk. The Slim PS2 has various problems reading disk.(Don't Know why? I own it and Know it does). The Fat version(1st version) is a much better system, in my opionion. Try blowing air to clean the disk reader. Or changing the disk reader portion out, At a small price.

i had the same problom. i recamend if you still have a warrenty then send it to sony. they fixed mine right up. and if that doesnt help then its probobly onely one game that makes it do that. i have a ferw games that would not make that noiuse because the eye didnt have to move so suddenly. its not sonys problom entirely. its the game desingers for makeing the eye move from one end to another too quickly. sony fixed mine but idk exactly how they did it everything looks the same as before. but it works

stand your playstation upright

its grinding against the side

hope that helps

Hmmmm, Then poissibly the motor might have a need for servicing. Because by the sounds of it, the motor isnt moving quite right inside the system. I ran into this problem with my PS1 and PS2's that i have had over the years. Motors can wear out over time and use. If your like my friends, they go through a new PS2 in a year flat, because it is used 20 to 22 horus a day by 3 different people. So yeah, they use theirs very well.

Back to subject. Anyways, if the motor is not actually doing much but clicking, it sounds like there is an Obstruction in the way of the spin. Meaning, its not getting its complete rotation every whatever amount, so it will not read the disc. The motor also has to be able to move back and forth to read the disc as you play it and if that motor goes, than you rarely can play a game all the way through.

There are usually a number of computer stores (small time) that offer repair services for a price. They can usually order the small parts and Sony lets them install those replacement parts, because like all big companies, it takes a lot longer to get things done because everyone goes there first.

When searching for a store that can help, be specific in questioning. You need to ask directly if they have any employee's who know how to service PS2's

Yuk, you're not gonna like the solution to this but you have one of two things going on. That clicking noise you're hearing is the laser eye hitting the disk cuz it's havin problems reading it. There are a couple of reasons that would cause this. 1.) The laser lens is out of alignment. 2.) The lens itself is either damaged or the potentiometer pots on the back of the lens itself (if the ps2 dvdrom drive is taken apart and the eye is removed and flipped upside down there are two screws on the back of the eye, one controls laser voltage for dvds one controls laser voltage for CD) needs adjusting.

If you're lucky it's 1, that's a pretty easy but time consuming fix. You take the cover off the PS2. You power on the PS2 open the dvd-rom via the button on your console then manually power off the PS2 via the switch on the back, thus leaving the dvdrom tray open. You then take the screws off of the top of the dvdrom drive and remove that plate the screws are holding down. You'll see a large COG gear that should appear white in most models. Whether it is white or black there is a allen wrench hole in the center of it, you'll notice. The size of the cog is question is about the size of a 50cent piece(in most models, some it's about the size of a quarter). It's quite large and hard to miss. Get yourself a permanent marker and find some way of marking it's current position so if all else fails you can re-align it back to it's current position. Next get an allen wrench that fits the whole in the center. Here's the time consuming part, Turn that cog (start clockwise) One click (meaning turn it till you feel one click) put a game in, place the plastic lid back on but don't put the screws in and put something on top of the plastic dvd cover to hold if firmly in place and power on the ps2. If the game doesn't load, rinse and repeat this method from the beginning untill you have gone through every single gear notch on the cog. If you're not savvy with written instructions and need pictures to guid you in taredown and identification here's a guide with pics. http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/ps2.ars/1

Now if you've gone through every single gear on that cog and still can't resolve the issue the other steps would include adjusting the voltage on the back of the PS2 lens. I have created a solution for someone else with a similar problem that can be found here http://www.fixya.com/support/t1122813-ps2_modded_trouble_reading_dvdrs

You first use that guide to identify your PS2 version then you go to the link provided within that guide and follow the directions to set your voltage correctly.

If neither of these solutions solved your issue then your PS2 laser lens is damaged totally and needs to be replaced. You can either replace the lens itself (about 20-40bucks) or replace the entire DVD-ROM unit (not needed, but some people do this if they don't feel like dealing with alignment)

Hope that was of some assistance,
Good Luck

firstly, have the appropriate tools. tools include:: standard philips, jewelers philips(tiny screwdriver), a ziploc baggie, a q-tip, and hydrogen peroxide. open the ps2. there are 4 or six screws depending on the model. the screws are on the bottom. the screws have covers so take them off. Once the screws have been removed, remove the top cover. Again depending on the model, thier might be a strip connected to the top cover going to the reset and open buttons(so be CAREFULL). If u have a older model then this part will be more difficult. on the right side of the ps2, thier should be four screws holding the top of the cd reader down. remove the four screws and pull the top off. now inside the cd reader, thier should be two axle like metal poles going horizontal. This controls the laser so it can move back and forth. dust usually collects on these. clean these off, but make sure thier is still some grease on them. if u mess this up u can go buy ps2 grease. now finally to the fixing of the eye(laser). get a q-tip, dip it in a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. use the wet side and gently rub the eye(laser). then take the dry side of the q-tip, and dry the eye(laser). if u want to test the ps2, but u dont want to put it all back together, u can just set the cover back on. or (i wouldnt suggest this) u can take the white magnet out of the top cover and place it on the center reciever. it worked for me so i hope it works for u.

there is a little wheel type thing that the cd sits on when it goes into the drive, the wheel makes the cd spin, these often wear out , after you play it for 27 mins the device heats up which causes it to slip , which would most likely be the noise that you can hear , it wont cost you much at all to get this fixed at a game console service store, if your sure the cd is still spinning after 27 mins , and making the noise , it is the laser cog slipping , in this case it is best to replace the whole laser section, which is one part , and if your handy at things like that i suggest you just go and buy the laser reader from a game console repair store , and swap it over your self , it is pritty simple to do ,
