|
Anonymous | my ps2 wont read dvd movies or games, however it WILL play ps1 games and music cds. ill have to put in a game, go to the browser, choose the cd icon and wait for the playstation logo to come up. it wont, it will just go to a red screen and say "please insert playstation or playstation 2 format disc". safe to say that after a while, this frustrates he hell out of me. any help would be appreciated. |
|
Malcolm Unregistered guest | i had that red screen problem once on my ps2 with a ps1 game...u know what i did??....i smashed that game to smitherines, burned it, and then my dog ate it...and i guess that worked because now i dont get the red screen anymore. lol lol |
|
manlaju Unregistered guest | For the red screen problem, i know how to solve it. Especially the new game that can't be play on old ps2 |
|
Unregistered guest | Ok i have a problem that when i put in a game my Ps2 takes forever to read the disk...and now it doesnt even read Dvd's anymore...id have to go to browser and wait for the disk icon to show and then click it in oder to play a game....and as for my Dvd's it wont read them..i do to browers when i put on in it..it'll say "Reading Disk" for like a second before it goes away and nothing happens...im concidering smashing my game...>=( |
|
Unregistered guest | You need to put some toothpast on the disc and smear it then run it under water then wipe it off with a rag or get a cleaning disc. |
|
Unregistered guest | your ps2 isn't reading cause your drive is dying. you can get a lil more out of it by opening the ps2 up, (void your warranty if you have one you will yess....) after flipping the top part of the cover to the side (careful the power and reset button have a cable still connected) you will want to remove the screws on the dvd rom, 4 lil tiny screws. then remove the cover. you will see the lens and behind that a White GEAr about the size of quarter. mark the teeth that meet the metal clip on the left hand side of it with a marker. then twist the gear clockwise slowly (click click click click) then you will hear a sound and the laser will drop down. now do 2 to four clicks clockwise and then put the thin cover back on the ps2 and boot it up and try a game out. (please place cover back over dvd rom area for the dvd's fly off and then the laser will melt a hole in your brain.) its' basically readjusting the laser to read the cds. the blue ones are hard really hard to get it to ready but silvers and ps1 are easiest. so if it dosen't read the dvd or cd shut off the system take the thin cover back off and do 2 to 4 more clicks clockwise and repeat until the cd reads. this is a breif description on how this is done if you search google on how to adjust the ps2 dvd rom cd rom there is a guy who posted pics and step by step. it worked on my 3001 unit but i couldn't get blue to read. ultimate solution is to replace the dvd rom (ebay baby) just make sure you get your system's correct rom ooooorrrr go to lik sang and buy the pieces to rebuild your rom (motor, laser, etc) have fun and remember brush your teeth not your games. |

Bronze Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 35 Registered: Jun-05 | You opened it up ?, well i don't think you should have done that..you just might be screwed |
|
Compmaster Unregistered guest | Dont worry check if the "silver data rebbin" is cut or bent too badly. The "silver data rebbin" that has four wires in it, and is very thin. The one that is connected to your "reset" and "open disk" button and LED and to the bottom or so of your PS2. If it is then there is your problam. You can buy another one from Ebay, or you can try to repair it somehow? Sorry i can help more, yet. |

Anonymous | Well my ps2 reads my disks but, when it is suppost read playstion 2 it wont. It'll just go back and it will start reading the disk again. |

Anonymous | Hi, i bought Killzone the other day for my PS2 and it wont play it!! I can hear it trying to spin but then it just goes back to the menu screen. My PS2 is about 3 years old. It plays all my other games with no problems at all. Does any one know why this might be? I heard Killzone pushes the PS2 to its limit but this is ridiculous! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 66 Registered: Jun-05 | Just wondering, does killzone have a blue/purple backing ? cause all my blue games spin so hard and it works the system over so that could be your problem. For some reason PS2 has trouble reading these |
|
Anonymous | i might have a tip for anyone who's ps2 just freezes up or doesnt start... if you keep your playstation on a carpet or somehting af that sort, after a while af playing the system will over heat beacuse of the carpet acting as an insolator. this is what happened to me. fourtunatly, ps2 dose not have a warning of this in the instructions anywhere. so i sent it to sony with this infor information and the fixed it for free. (i had to pay shipping). also if you keep your playstion in a damp/moist area such as a basement, mildew or mold may grow on the inside...(this also happened to me lol). all you have to do for that is open it up and wipe it down and it should work again. |

ferchu Unregistered guest | well.. i had the same problem/.... suddenly my ps2 didnt wanted to play the new fifa street..... it play some of the older games but no dvd movies.. i just went ahead and open it... clean the inside.... take the dust of.. and is working perfectly.. i recommend for people to do that... my playstatios was almost 5 years old! |

Unregistered guest | So I bought a PS2 slim not even a week ago. I decided that I was going to try it out today. I turned it on w/out a disc in and played with the settings. I deleted a few files from my memory card, messed with the language settings, and fixed the time. Then I turned the console off and put in a PS2 game. All of a sudden, the PS2 refused to turn on. The red light still shows, but everytime I push the power button, the red light turns off and then back on and nothing happens on the screen. I've read about the laser data cable (the brown tape thingy) but people who have to replace theirs generally only have to do it b/c they've damaged it by installing a mod chip, or it's worn out. I haven't put a mod chip in, let alone opened the case. Anyone have any suggestions as to what else it could be? |

mikemike38 Unregistered guest | my older ps2 makes loud kinda clicking noises when it tries to read the game then when i go to the browser option it says disk read error?is my lense going or what? thanks |
|
Unregistered guest | For all you people with the blue disk and ps1 disks. try putting scotch tape around the hole of the cd on top where the label is to fix the disk read error. Be sure not to cover up the hole. Just make a square or something around the hole and it should work. |

Vinnah Unregistered guest | First thing I'm gona say is that there are a load of n00bs in this forum... I mean for example "this is some real bull shiznit,dis web site sucks yo, cant give me no answers,ya suck. i run this site bi**h.". Right to the point of the ps2's... Ps2's are made by the one & only not so good Sony. Ps2's seem to have a design fault. They fail after roughly 2 Years on average (2 Days it seems in some cases) here are some home remedies I'll just recommend: 1. If your ps2 is messing up after 2 days pr in less than a year don't rant on forums, tell Sony or take your console back to the shop. (And Buy A second Hand Dreamcast instead ;) or an Xbox) 2. Make sure the power leads, controllers & external devices are connected correctly. Make sure the socket/powerpoint is working correctly. Stating the obvious here I know but people never check the basics. 3. Make sure your DVD/CD Rom is clean of scratches, dust & dirt. This is another basic problem that is normally ignored. 4. Buy a CD Lens cleaner (Don't be fooled in buying a DVD Lens cleaner for more money.. They're exactly the same). Maybe the covering over the laser is dirty. 5. Take your PS2 Apart spray the circuits & CPU & fans down with compressed air. The problem could be due to overheating. 6. Clean the Laser guides.. then spray with WD40 could do it some good. 7. You're AC/DC adaptor may be damaged try an alternative. 8. Try alternative devices (Such as controllers) some erros can be due to bad devices not being able to intialise. 9. New laser required it will be much less hastle to buy a new console. Also I'd like to add buying a DVD ROM drive & taking the assembly out of it & putting it in a PS2 Won't work. (You're VERY lucky if it does). Through my knowlage that is what I can think of that will help.. But I've never liked PS2's much & I sold mine within 2 months of buying it.. You just can't Beat A Sega Dreamcast  |

Unregistered guest | hey this is lucas for all u ppl struggling to get ur blue disks to work have no fear its simple sony started to use blue diks cause there cheaper and lighter all u really have to do is go to ur system config turn ur speeed to normal and put a piece of white masking tape on the top of the blue disk to weight it down if u have any questions just email me |

Anonymous | My ps2 worked with every game except Tony Hawk America Wasteland where it forze on the startup. I took my hard drive out and now it works fine. Try taking your harddrive out or your network card if you aren't connected to the ineternet, because its trying to configure the game systems and freezing. |

Unregistered guest | Most of you are encountering to disk read error's (DRE) on your console. I'll leave a brief discreption and explanation on how you can fix this problem. 1) Flip your PS2 console upside down, so that your viewing the bottom. 2) You should see 8 screw covers (6 plastic ones and 2 rubber ones). Use your fingernails or any other device to take these off. Now unscrue the 8 screws. 3) Now, flip the PS2 upright so that either the front or the back is facing you. Remove the cover from the back end of the Ps2, by gently taking it off. 4) When the main cover is off, and if the PS2's front end is facing you, you should see a black covering to the right containing 4 little-tiny screws. Use a propper mini screw-driver, or a knife to remove the 4 screws. 5) Once the screws are removed, pull the second covering off. You should see your disk tray and the laser right in between. Use and air can, or your mouth and fingers, to blow everywheres in the console. Do not blow directly on the laser. You should clean all the little hairs and everything you may find in your PS2, since your already this far. Also, you should clean the laser with a cue tip, gently. 6) Now comes the main part; the main source of the problem, and the main resolvent to the problem. Plug your system in, but keep it in pieces, don't put it back together just yet. Plug in a single remote, the two chords in the back, and a memory card if you wish. When it is plugged in, open the disk tray. Once the disk tray is open, turn the system off. Now that the disk tray is open, you will see a white disk. This white disk will adjust the laser. Mark on the disk using a marker where it is adjusted right now; this way you can go back to the beginning if you really need to. Use your fingers to turn the white disk clockwise a few clicks (click, click, click). You will notice your laser rising just a bit. Now, try your console. Turn it on your PS2, put a disk in, and shut it. But make sure you have your second black cover covering the disk! Without this the disk will not spin. If you still get the DRE, which more than likely you will during the first adjustment, try adjusting it some more and doing that until it works. After getting it working, cover it all up, put the screws in, and your done! This solution may not be temporary, but it is effective and easy to do. Guide by Joshuar |

New member Username: MadukesPost Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | ok, all you users that are having problems with the silver ribbon with the blue tip that came out when you took you top off the ps2. it is very simple to fix. remove the 2 (gold) screws that hold the paddle connectors in place, pull up the right side from bottom if you look in the side corner near the front on the mother board, you will see a small slot, it has a white bottom and brown top, take a small screwdriver and very very lightly pop open the top of it don't worry it hinged now with the blue side facing down to the white push the ribbon in to it and using the screwdriver again push the brown flap back down. and you will have fix it all by yourself...lol.I know this works because I've done it myself when my daughter did it to her's. |

New member Username: MickaMelbourne, Victoria Australia Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-07 | Hi, I am looking for an answer to a problem that seems to be quite common, in various forms - my playstation 2 will not play games (I have not tried dvd) When I turn it on it just goes to a screen I have never seen before (I've had the console for 2 years) showing a menu with "Browser" and "System cofiguration". No matter what I do or change in any of the settings I can access via this menu, I can't get out of it. I'm in Australia but I think any advice you guys could give me would be just as applicable here as in America. It is a slimline console, with lift up lid. Thanks. |

New member Username: Oo7Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-07 | when I put a DVD in my PS2 it would say unable to read disc, I had a can of presured air and blew out the dust from inside the tray while the tray was open and then tried it again and then it worked perfectly. It happened another time, disc error, in the middle of a movie so I tried it on another DVD player, same thing happened, the movie was bad. |

New member Username: Oo7Post Number: 2 Registered: Jul-07 | Error message "Insert PS1 OR PS2 Format disc" nothing is wrong with your system, it just means that the game is made to play on another system. I tried to play some PS2 games I bought today on my PS2 system and got the same error message, I looked at the fine writing around the disc and it read manufactured in DEVU, one game said, manufactured in DEDU, what ever that means? I'm in the USA and I know my system was made for the USA and the games that I play on it are maufactured in the USA. |

New member Username: AlanisoPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-07 | Hello everybody, I'm hoping that this post will help out anybody having troubLE with the PS2 giving disc errors / will only read certain discs, etc. I did exactly what the article told me and saved myself some money by not replacing with another PS2. This article was written for the regular size PS2 and not the slim. I have not tried this on a slim since I don't have one. The instructions are easy and straight forward and contains pictures to help out. Just be patient and read the info before beginning to work on the PS2. It just might save you some cash. IF YOUR PS2 IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY PLEASE HAVE SONY FIX IT CAUSE ONCE YOU OPEN IT THE WARRANTY IS VOID. TRY THIS ONLY ON SYSTEMS THAT ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. Hope this helps. http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/ps2.ars |
