ps2 defects sukkkkFollow

I dunno what wrong's with your PS2, but my launch release PS2 (October 26th, 2001) works just fine with EQOA:F, just as it did with EQOA. I have heard many complaints about the older PS2s and disk reading problems, but I have yet to have any such problem with mine.

Before you buy a new PS2 try this link. I was having disc read errors and I thought mine was going on the blink and a friend told me about this relatively easy solution. You make a minor adjustment to the positioning of the laser eye and clean it. Its not really that hard.

I was about ready to chuck my PS2 and get an XBox and I havent had any problems since I did this.

me myself being a ps2 person...i would have too say you may have ^^bumed^^ your laser out the right spot..man u have 2 b an idiot to do that...

well i would say go return your ps2 if u still have the recet..but if you dont gonna have too get it fixed :(

wow i accutally didnt say nothing mean :s

hey where is the love for me i said some stuff......fine my first acctual helping post and no1 acknoledge's it....(o'well)

yes..i have tried that before..if it doesnt work though.....it screws it up so bad u absolutly have 2 get a new one so if i were you pay 50$ and get it professinelly looked at or cleaned, or what not. you have too spwnd money but its better than ruining your PS2.

and no i'm not saying your wrong or nothing jam.

If you follow the instructions and do it right the first time you wont ruin it. Its not that hard. I did it to mine and havent ever had any problems since.

If in fact that is the problem. Maybe you had a different problem. The problem I had and that alot of people have with disc read error is that after hours and hours of playing time the laser eye will sometimes move slightly out of place and cause it not to read the disc properly. Sony put a little adjustment wheel in there specifically for this purpose. Also like any cd player or dvd player the lens must be cleaned periodically. I find it cheaper just to do it myself, but thats just me. So if you want to spend 200 bucks on a new system or pay someone to do the same thing, be my guest.

LOL punchy hasnt been a bad monkey on this thread eithier...whats wrong with you?......anyway if it does say disk read error...you bumped the laser or burned the laser out...sometimes though if you use the waiting stance on the ps2 it will fry the laser..and it cant read purple back disks,and ps1 disk's..if it s\does this you are screwed..becasue the laser is flip up...eithier replace the laser..or throw the ps2 away..
