Ok so I've had my slim PS2 for a while now and it seems to have worn out maybe? Anyway when I put a disc in the drive, it won't play it. It won't even try to read it, and I know the problem. What I want to know is, how do I fix it (or can I)? The problem is the sensors that detect that the tray is closed, in other words when I put a game in and close the door, the system thinks that the door is still open. Every once in a while if I tap it the right way it may decide to play but for the most part it seems to be screwed. HELP!!
Theres a wrong in the mechanism in your PS try to push the cover while reading the disc, push it on the surface which the sensor was locate, "push Gently" not very hard!!

God of War II being one of the few Dual-Layer discs on the PS2, it is possible that your problem originates from your PS2 lens being unable to read it correctly. The PS2 Slim is supposed to be able to read Dual-Layer, thus you should try cleaning your lens, it may be dirty, leading to this kind of error while still able to read Single-Layer discs.

seems like you need to go buy a lens cleaner from bestbuy or something. Run it repeatedly untill it works. sometimes it takes a while. But it will work after. please rate@
You have either a scratched, dirty, or worn out lens if the disc spins and does not read. If cleaning the lens with a lens cleaning disc does not help, I would recommend either buying a new PS2 DVD drive or a new PS2. A new drive will be about 5-25 dollars and you will either have to find somebody to, or you yourself put it in just don't destroy your PS2 in the process. You can find PS2's for about 40-140 depending on fat or slim and new or used.
i have encountered these problem with my slim ps2 many times before... the solution for your problem is very easy......
when you insert your disk in your slim ps2 you must hear atleast three quick click sounds, theis sounds represents the cd has been locked in into the driver, to be able to check if it has already locked touch the top part of the cd pertaining to the center part once youve touched it feel if there is no unbalanced portion... if no your ready to play...... if yes reinsert it until you hit the right angle..... these takes a lot of practice just to do it safe for the console and the person..... enjoy...................
OK. First of all, put any disc in and turn on the PS2. Push the spot shown here down with something about the size of the TV end of the AV cable. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r96/Daiv_The_Goriya/Pushdown.jpg Watch what it does. Does it stop spinning? If so, see this pic http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r96/Daiv_The_Goriya/PS2problem.jpg
This keeps the disc from spinning when the cover is open.
push this down while following the instructions from the first pic. Does the disc work?
There's usually a small object that pushes #2 down. Chances are it broke off.
This piece here is what broke off on my PS2 as seen in the previous image. If you can find some way to glue it back on, you should be back in business.
Hi Raven,
Its sounds like you have a PS2 Slim with a melted Laser. What you will find is that the Slim will only read CD's, CDR's, PS1 Games, Blue back PS2 games and DVD's. I can repair this for $35 plus shipping to and from The Playstation Clinic in Fountain Inn, SC. The webpage is www.playstationclinic.com If you do not have a Slim, you either have dirty disc, or Lens. You may have left some fibers from the Q-tip across or around the lens.
Thank you, but I have successfully "pushed" the cover for 3 months now, and it has recently just given out altogether. Not to sound mean or anything.
