The dot being stuck means the CMOS clock battery is out. The dot spinning is the internal clock. To replace the battery you need to take that PS2 apart.

[@nicolaslatorre810]

You can also type in a new time on the clock and leave the ps2 connected.

[@SamSamShine]

You can start the clock by pressing at the same time circle and square or triangle and square I can't remember Edit: it’s triangle and X

[@Early2000sPs2games]

Im worried, will that destroy my ps2?

[@TheGoldNShadow]

@@Early2000sPs2games I don’t think it’ll destroy you

[@TheGoldNShadow]

It could also be the clock. Apparently the orb will slowly progress its movement depending on the time. Edit: When he booted it up, the PS2’s date was 1/1/2000 00:00, which could be the reason why it doesn’t move.

[@kylep3764]

I was wondering why you say "its hard to not get any scratches on a disc this old".. then i saw you pile the discs up on top of each other around the 16 min mark.. and now i understand why. You would prlly be baffled by all my computer, ps, ps2, and xbox games that are still in pristine condition bc i simply handle them correctly lol.

I always put games back in cases as well, but that's not so easy to do when I'm holding a camera with one hand. Two hands are needed to put games back in those sleeves, which I could do but it's inconvenient to undo my camera strap to put every game away while using them in the video. The only games I've ever had scratching issues with are games I bought used

[@paulshelley3159]

The reason the dot is not moving is because the button cell battery inside the PS2 is dead. The battery keeps the clock going when the system is unplugged. Just replace the battery, set the clock, and you should be good to go.

[@teamthiele]

Yes you’re right. Had the problem with both of my ps2. Replaced the battery and it worked again.

[@leeberry6337]

The orb isn't spinning because the internal coin battery which keeps the time is dead. Easy to replace but you will need to open it up. Once replaced set the tone and orbs will spin. I'd suggest cleaning the laser with some isopropyl alcohol and see if that helps. Also the laser mechanism might be slipping on the worm screw. You can look at other videos on how to adjust

[@ShaimingLong]

The odd noise with certain discs can be caused by the disc tapping the stopper that comes out to stop the disc spinning when you open the lid. Mine did that with a few games, but when I taped the stopper down, the noise stopped and those games were less prone to locking up when loading.

[@TucBroder]

Where's the stopper located?

[@ShaimingLong]

@@TucBroder it depends on the model of the PS2. If you've got a slim, you can open the lid and look near the back just to the right of where the laser mechanism is, there's a little bit of plastic that's stuck out from the smooth plastic tray. Mine has a tiny little white rubber(?) patch where it touches and stops the disc. I think, while you can actually see it move if you watch it while tapping the open button on the console. It's not hard to find if you're looking for it, and it actually touches the outer rim of the discs when they're in the tray, so it makes it easy to spot against everything else in there. It does no harm to tape it back so it can't touch the discs anymore, you just have to wait for a disc to slow down on it's own when you open the tray to take it out.

[@TucBroder]

My PS2 slim from 2006 is still in fantastic condition. Just finished the original Devil May Cry last week and it was great. That said, I still have the same clock and orb problem as you do but from what I read, it shouldn't really affect the console reading discs.

[@protoyeen]

CMOS battery is dead then if clock and orb isn't spinning

[@jess.hawkins]

Until you manage to replace the CMOS battery on the motherboard, you may want to try setting the date anyway in the system settings (I think if you just select the date and press confirm that's enough), then you should be able to see the little orbs on the dash screen spinning. This was my experience at least when I bought a European PS2 model SCPH-75003 earlier in 2020. Of course, the date will still revert after power-down (or maybe only after mains power is lost?) until the dead battery is changed, but if you just want to see the orbs spinning, this is what you can do.

[@cutemimi25]

The light on the bios is for the watch battery, it needs replaced or reset, if it's got juice it'll spin, if not they'll combine into 1 big circle.

You always want to go with the slim jacob, which is one of the best consoles ever made. You need to take care, and clean both your system and games regularly. Not throw them in a pile btw, not a good idea, treat them with care. A piece of advice, put some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, and mix with filtered water. Buy a lens cloth, and clean the system, and games. Never rub in a circle on the disks, clean in a straight line from the center to the edge of the disk.

[@rs1n]

That is the sound of the laser tapping on your disc when it cannot properly focus. Do NOT continue using your discs, because it will eventually create a double-ring scratch. This is due to the laser being pushed up and down in order to focus, and in doing so, the two plastic retaining clips that keep the laser eye in place hits the disc. The disc speed is also changed during this process, again to find the right combination of speed and focus. You can verify all this by opening up the console and taping down the two "cover-is-closed" switches (on by the power button and the other is under the leg of the cover door by the PS2 logo on the top) and watching the red light under the disc. This is an issue with probably ALL slim models (except possibly the ones where the laser assembly is screwed down). You can try to fix it by adjusting the potentiometers underneath the laser eye. This adjusts the voltage for the laser and may help improve its ability to focus, thereby stopping the optics head from moving up/down and hitting the disc. Make sure you have a multimeter to check the resistance at the potentiometers to ensure they are set within the proper range, because using wrong values could very well cause the diode to burn up. This is a temporary fix (how long will it last? who knows...) and even a brand new replacement laser will eventually have this problem. For slim PS2s, look into Free DVD Boot and make yourself an FMCB memory card. From there, take an old router that has NAS support via USB drives (the router must of course have USB ports) and set up a network share -- I use an old ASUS RT-N66 and use Open PS2 Loader to stream your games.

[@gammaant78]

Do you know which ps2 models have the laser screwed down?

[@meatsafemurderer7743]

It's not the laser that scratches the discs on slim models, it's the ribbon cable. The only thing holding the ribbon cable back is some double sided tape. Once it lets go it starts ruining discs. That being said he still needs to get the laser working properly because otherwise it'll wear out faster.

@@jrob0021 Maybe try changing your year from 2000 to 2004 or later. On the PS2's time settings.

@@jrob0021 hey man mine was doing the same thing. Set the date on your settings. I set up my current date and when I went back to the menu the orbs and music started to play. After unplug you console from any power source and plug it back and turn it on again. If the orbs are not moving it means that your internal clock battery needs to be replaced. Hopes this helps

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

One cause for grinding sound, the orange cable behind the laser jumps up to read it and it’s only glued down so it doesn’t hit the disk, eventually it will get loose and needs to be set down or it will destroy every disc

[@smackers1514]

Sounds like the laser needs to be cleaned.

[@TheUltimateRare]

it could be a disc problem with fixing worn out game discs too.

[@Khivy94]

The light is not spining in the main menu of the PS2 means that the internal 3volt battery is dead : you must replace it and the light will spin again.

Happy new years!!!

[@anasqahar5000]

Solution : Change the date time and the orbs will turn to normal. If it doesn't work change the small tiny battery inside the PS2 👍 that's all.

i just resently orded a ps2 fat modle from ebay i hope it works, also i grew up with the ps2 slim but dew to the fact i would allways find problems happing i dicided to get the original fat modle, i got it for good price ($76.00) i made shure to read the condition and study the photos, and the seller has a 99.7% positive feedback raiting so im hopeing the console will run as how it should.

To make the orbs spin you have to manually change the date/time settings from the default 1/1/2000 12:00 even if you have a working battery the orbs will not spin on their own unless you do this. For your trouble with the games I have one suggestion CLEAN THE LASER LENS. There is the main laser lens that is plainly visible and easy to clean but there is also another lens underneath it that is trickier to get to but will accumulate dust over the years making it difficult to read some game discs. You will have to take the ps2 apart but it should be pretty easy and I'm sure there are tutorial videos you can find to help you. You mentioned in your video the warranty seal was unbroken. So that means it has never been cleaned inside. Cleaning the lower lens may do wonders for you.
