Playstation 2 disc problem

IF THE ONE WITH BLUE ON BOTTOM IS ORIGINAL AND THE ONE WITH SILVER IS PIRATED,IT MEANS THAT UR PS2 ONLY LOADS ORIGINAL DISCS. HAVE U TRIED LOADING ORIGINAL DVD WITH SILVER BOTTOM?
Give more details on ur problem (whether u r not able to run duplicate dvd or can only play dvds which u bought along with ps2)

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.

All I can say is you installed the wrong laser on your PlayStation 2. There are newer lasers and you need to make sure you have the newer one.

You need to adjust the laser. Go to my recent post to find out how.

Hi Lee,
Your lasers on the way out.
it,s all to do with the power output of the laser head, and the angle for reading the 2 different disk types.
i,d suggest getting a new laser fitted. not too expensive usually with older consoles. Try E-Bay :)

push down the disc good, the whirring is the disc being read,

Hi Elvis,

The Blue back disc is CD format. The DVD laser circuit is giving you trouble. You can adjust the DVD pot some on the back of the Laser. Turn it about 3 degrees clockwise. Then put it the laser back in. Test the PS2 with no cover on, and use the white round disc from the laser drive cover to clamp a disc onto the spindle. Test DVD and PS2 Games that do not have Blue back.

Hi KG45ZY,

 

I am guessing that you are running  a PS2 Blue Disc Game.  Blue colored discs tend to run faster than Silver or gold.  Accepted method for cutting the hum down  is to put a piece of Tape on the label side of the disc. jkeep trying that until the disc gets a good balance.  I just put up with the Hum and do not invest a lot of time in trying to get the hum out.  Thats the solution though, your Blue Disc is unbalanced.

This can sometimes be caused by the actual PS2 media. PS2 discs usually have either a silver or blue bottom. Silver is DVD media and Blue is CD media. Sometimes the laser mechanism gets a little wonky and can't read one type or another. Typically, older games had the blue discs (Kinetica and Gran Turismo are some of the oldest games on the system) I would check the color of your existing games and see if that is an issue. Another possible idea is that you just got a bad disc, it doesn't happen very often but it does pop up from time to time.

laser may need to be adjusted or cleaned.
