Damn broham, you just saved my quarantine. Take this sub why don't ya. To elaborate- my PS2 "broke" years ago. I screw-drove it apart, hit it with the dust-off, and took a drunk q-tip to the laser assemblage, but no dice unfortunately. I bagged it up, along with all its cords & cables, and my various controllers. The past two days, I've been listening to old rpg OSTs and watching let's plays of retro games and got inspired to pull the old thing out. Much to my chagrin, "DISK READ ERROR", and some mild ptsd of it completely crapping out ~6 years ago was all that awaited me. Quick search led to you, and turns out that guide I saw last time around failed to detail the bit about the adjustable white gear. After a dusting, a swabbing, and a meticulous adjusting of said gear, the miraculous occurred and I now have you to thank sir. Now I can dive into nostalgia myself, instead of simply sampling it vicariously. For those requiring the "gear fix", turn it until it clicks loudly and "resets" as our friend shows in the video. Try it like that first, but if it still doesn't work- as was the case for mine, then from the beginning position, keep trying it after turning in intervals of 4 clicks. Eventually, it will start detecting PS2 disks again. At first, it may detect the disk, but keep looping back to the browser screen whenever you click on the disk. If that happens, you're in the right ballpark- just simply experiment with turning the gear in intervals of only 2 from that position, first backwards, then if that still doesn't work, 2 forwards from that position. Chances are, after two additional clicks from that position in either direction, your laser assemblage's height will be at the exact ideal level to begin detecting and properly reading the disks again. Hope this further helps those in similar positions checking out this video. Sorry for any possible confusion.

Alcohol is like a wonder drug for all things retro gaming lol. Last time I opened up a PS2, I found 3 dead roaches inside, which explained while the laser wasn't working because they seemed to have imploded. Must have crawled through the CD tray area, and died somehow getting stuck. What is the WORST condition you've seen a system in that you've managed to successfully repair? Props to anyone who has the patience to clean systems like this. Glad to have subbed - great stuff.

That white wheel you point out at 3:10 doesn't have to be adjusted manually on this particular PS2. The PS2 you have is a launch SCPH-30001 and that white gear on these particular PS2s is actually adjusted automatically when you insert a disc by a small motor next to it.

If you want to more easily determine the issue your ps2 has, put the game you want to play inside of the ps2 upside down. If the ps2 does not show an error message within 5 minutes or so, then you probably want to follow the fix showed in this video. If it does, your ps2 may just be having trouble processing the data on the disc. To fix this, I removed my memory card whilst the ps2 was reading the disc, then re insert the memory card when you know the ps2 has completed reading the disc. If this does not work, follow the guide in the video.

I haven’t used my PS2 since 2004, it kept getting error messages when I tried to play any game. First i thought the problem was CDs, thinking i played them to much and it reached the end of it’s life. Bought a new game assuming everything would go back to normal.....nope, still getting that error messages. That’s when i discovered the problem was the lens. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I got lazy, didn’t wanna fix it, figured I was never going use/need it so i ended up putting it away and forgot all about it until 2021. Now that the cable is no longer active in my home, It’s really, really boring without it. But damn I’m glad i never got rid of my PS2 for situations such as mine. Videos games are quite useful in a no cable zone home. lol 😆😜 Just hoping leaving my PS2 sit for so long it didn’t get worse. Gonna try this method. Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍

That gear which changes the height of the laser, to be used as a last resort - do you know what the factory default setting is? I didn't mark it before tweaking it. I'm currently testing each notch haha.

Great video. I have read that you should dilute the 91% isopropyl alcohol with 50% water. Is that right or do you just just the isopropyl alcohol as is? Thanks !

I’m confused. Idk if it’s the disk or the box, but when I put Star Wars battlefront 1 in, it glitched in the menu. When I put battlefront 2 in, it just won’t start. Any ideas?

i just did a fix on my ps2 i thought may help others. i still use a ps2 because the ONLY game i ever play is Gran Turismo. Around 6 months or so ago, it started to not load the game and i`d press reset a few times and eventually load, but got so bad, i just stopped playing it till last week, when i descided to have a look, nothing ventured :) i tried something which was the same issue i had with my cd player last year and worked, so i removed the lid off the ps2 and the black plate over the top of the laser. i cleaned the laser with lighter fuel and a cotton bud, but i also did one thing that is very often over-looked and was the issue with my cd player, which was the two stainless steel pins that the laser moves up and down on. In this instance, just like the cd player, both pins were bone dry, so i applied some white grease to the pins with a small artists brush, put the lid back on and it now plays perfect every time, it`s made a world of difference! One thing though to bare in mind, DON`T spray the grease on the runners, use a small paint brush, otherwise you`ll get grease all over the laser :) hope this helps someone.

Awesome vid Mr. RGA. I have a PS2 that reads discs but they take a long time to load. They stop spinning for 60 seconds and then spin again and read just fine. I’ve tired cleaning and replacing the laser to no avail. Any ideas for what to try next? I’ve heard about the laser control IC chip that’s known to fail. Could that be the issue?

hey can you fix this problem of mine? so i was playing call of duty 3 that day and i decided to pick gta san andreas. and then i started putting the disc in and resetted the ps2 and see what happends. at first it showed the ps2 intro (with the cubes) and it took me to this black screen (yes i know its a regular thing) but after the black screen it showed me into the browser screen. (with the memory cards and stuff) i restarted the ps2 and it keep doing that. if you have any solution please tell me.

Thank you so much for the help. I was super scared to take off the warranty label at first, but after learning they shut this cleaning service down I wanted to go through and do a once over on the playstation to get a feel for knowing what I've been playing on for 17 years and if it needed service. BIG QUESTION THOUGH, after going through the once over, cleaning and everything, my blue discs still wont work on my PS2 without putting a little masking tape on the inside edge. I didn't do the last resort cleaning method since that one seems a little scary to only being able to do it a few times, but I'm lost since I cleaned everything else, and all disc work except blue. Black and silver discs work just fine though. Any advice would be much appreciated

You need a new laser, most likely a 400c will be your laser, it was the most used in ps2s. The blue disc is CD format. As is ps1, and ps1 discs are DVD format. On the bottom of your laser there willbe 2 small dials, you can gently twist one to increase the CD lasers power. This is called pot tweaking. I would research it a bit before you do it. But it should have positive results, and if it doesnt, buy a new laser

I was using PS2 normally yesterday, suddenly the PS2 no longer wants to load disc, those blue balls in the menu are no longer spinning and the system settings are not saving anymore. And I also did basic cleaning inside the PS2 and it didn't solve it, I don't know if it was enough to clean it. If you have any solution, I will thank you very much. (I'm using a translator)
