What you will need:
PhilipsScrewdriver(Normal)
PhilipsScrewdriver(Eyeglass)
Cotton balls or swabs
Rubbing alcohol
Felt tip permanent marker
First look on back of PS2. Now all the way to the right there is a Warranty sticker. Either peel it of or cut it in half. Now turn it up side down and pull out all the screw caps and remove screws. Flip it back over and lift from back and pull towards you. Be carefull cause the ribbon cable is attached to the cover. Take the cover lay it so the side with the PS2 logo is laying on ground to the right of PS2. Take the eyeglass screwdriver and remove all the screws on the top of the laser lens cover. (It is the big black square that says laser warning on a yellow sticker for the slow ones.) Now dip the cotton balls/swabs in rubing alcohol. Rub the laser lens in a circular movement for 30 second. Rub dry with dry swab and repeat in other direction. Now put a disk on and place the cover over it and test it to see if it now works. If it does reasemmble your PS2 If not then take the cover back off and the cd out. Look behind the Lens and tehre should be a little white gear. To left side of the gear there is a metal notch. Take the marker and mark wich notch it is on. Rotate it 2 or 3 ways to the left. Test it. If nothing try 2 or 3 right. Keep playing untill you have got it working and then Reasemble your PS2. Now it should work yay.

Eugh
No way would I take apart a PS2.... recks the warranty, and Sony wont touch it with a long pole if you mess it up (qnd people will mess up)
Coolgreen, Id tqke this down if I was you, its a liability waiting to happen. Some moron (the internet is full of em) will reqd this, bugger up their PS2, try and get Sony to fix it for them (Sony *wont* do this, thats why the warranty sticker is there) qnd the git will hold this responsible.
Seriously, take it down |

| The laser isn't always to blame. Sometimes the disk just needs cleaning. |

| There is a lot of cd repair kits that you can buy. I've used them before, and they worked. Some discs are damaged too bad to be fixed that way, but you can also take them to cd repair shops that will shave a thin layer off the bottom of the disc. |

I dont think anyone is going to care since PS3 is on its way later next year. Plus this is not the first time Ive read this. People know if they take that label off Sony wont touch it. Thats the risk you take. For how big Sony as a company is No means No. Some little guy isnt going to get them down if they complain. Any case thanks coolgreen44. Going to try it later  |

| Well I used Coolgreen's example up there and was able to fix my PS2 no problem. It turned out that when my wife dropped it the white gear got knocked out of whack. I twisted it until it clicked, and was able to get everything working perfectly again. |

It was when we were moving into our new house. She says it was my fault because I was telling her to be careful (or something like that). |
