LOL!

my ps2 had this problem, it's easy fixed though :

simply open your bedroom door, place the ps2 between the door and the frame, then slam door while screaming "f'ckin sony bas...." for approximately 2 - 3 minutes. now, get your ps2 (you may need a dustpan and shovel) and empty into skip. problem solved!

I found two sites that can help with your disc read errors they are:-

http://www.dvdrbackups.com/forums/ps2/voltage.php

and

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/ ps2_disc_read_error.txt (remove spaces)

I repaired mine myself in under 5 minutes- i got the instructions off the web and followed them, it was as easy as that. The reason why the PS2s discs wont read is because the voltage going to the CD oR dvd drives is too low. There are two tiny screws inside the PS2 that controls the voltages, one for the cd drive and the other for the dvd drive. By turning the screws clockwise increases the voltage. If u want a DIY fix then i suggest u search on the internet for the instructions like i did, Ill give the link when i find it!!!

if u send it to a cetain game shop they will fix the laser because i had the same problem its either 65 pound for hal of the laser or 85 for the whole laser it depends on how bad it is!!

Mine wouldn't read the disc's and also made a funny noise, so I tried a lens cleaning kit but it wouldn't even load the disc for that.

So I rang Sony and got a refurbished one for £60.

If the lens cleaning kit doesn't work Bubble, I'd recommend getting a refurbished PS2, seeing as how its £70 at least to have it repaired by Sony, and it takes 3 weeks if you do so. Where as you can get a refurbished one within two days.

If it's under warranty - ring Sony, don't try fixing it yourself as they will replace it or repair it for you.

If it's not - take it to a computer repair or console repair store to have it checked out.

But as everyone says - I think the lens has seen better days.

Try giving everything a good blow.
