We purchased a PS2 in December, whereabouts of the receipt is unknown.
Problem:
It is no longer reading the disc\'s. It will sit for about 10 minutes, then give a "Disc read error".
Anyone have this problem. It just happened, it was well ventilated nothing around it or behind it.
It does make some weird noises when it\'s trying to read the disc now, but that\'s all it does.
It was veritical, and we have now tried placing it horizontal
Anyone know how to fix this?

You could always play the good ol\' Walmart switcharoo...
Huh!? whos that at my door? A lot of black cars outside.

Walmart switcheroo???

Otherwise I am sending it away for like a month to be repaired.

Sony will repair it for free, and it only takes about 3 weeks. I know that seems like a long time, but its better than trying to open it up without knowing what your doing. And c\'mon, cheating wal-mart is just plain wrong.
Cleaning the lens may help, but its not going to solve the problem. The magnets around the lens need to be adjusted, and only Sony is certified to do that. Good luck. :)

Sony will NOT fix it for free, it costs 70 bucks for them to fix it, I believe.
Did you buy it from Best Buy? If you did, and you bought the Replacement Plan (instant gold for PS2 buyers) then it is in their computers. They can find your name and plan in the computer. I would be surprised if you didn\'t buy a plan for PS2, though.

no, if you acutally fight with them about it and make a big deal, under some law, they will have to fix it for free since they made them faulty.

Yep. Because it was due to manufacturing problems, they have to do it for free. Just be sure to mention that fact to them in your e-mail or phone call.
-
We called sony, and found that it was faulty. They are waiving the 119.00 support fee, and are going to fix it for free.
Thanks, and if anyone else has that problem, call and speak with Jeff.

what you mean wrong,,,those fockers got money..screw them...pull a switch-a-roo...

I did that once, but along time ago i called them guyz at sony, told them that i had received the ps1 as a gift about a month ago and didnt have the receipt, wich in reality i had it for 2 years. but they didnt know anybetter, and they fixed my beloved ps1 back then. yah i know thats messed up of me.
-
Here\'s my solution. I\'ve been using it since I got my PS2 and I have never had a problem.
First, grab an old T-shirt that is too small or something.
Second, cover your ps2 when not in play.
Wala! Dust free! No more "disk read errors".
Oh and to cure your problem, buy a CD Lens Cleaner and clean your lens over and over till you think it\'s clean.

Welcome to the club. Care to join the "Depressed PS2 Owner with Dodgy PS2 that won\'t read the disc Properly" Club??
My advice: go buy an X-Box or a GC..heck even an Atari jaguar. U\'ll not have any of these stupid problems then.
SONY makes the WORST console(in terms of manufacturing quality) ever. Screw SONY.
-
Paul, I got one thing to say to you:
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.manifestation.org%2F%7Eill%2Fimages%2Ffunny%2Fpansy.jpg&hash=5c515c7acd534a94a6f08b79cbdb7d5ee7166f0d)
Be a f*cking man about it and just try to get it fixed. If it\'s not worth it to you, then fine.. go play your Xbox or GameCube or Dreamcast or whatever but don\'t stand around here whining about it.

haha... it\'s not that hard to fix and keep it clean.. I guess you just gotta be smart.
:laughing: at SonyFan\'s pic.
-
SonyFan:
Fixing the PS2?? Hah! It\'ll work for a month or two before it goes off again.
and I\'ve a word for you too.
Don\'t be a f**king jackass and mind yer own bloody f**king business.
-
PS2 has 0.00 RPGs
-
so FFX isnt a RPG? if FFX isnt a RPG then Tekken isnt a Fighting game right?
:hat:ScottyJ:hat:
-
Well how about you mind your own buisness first, try providing a solution to this guy\'s problem (Like he ASKED) instead of spilling your lil crybaby temper tantrums. Jesus Christ man, it seems like every other word out of your mouth anymore is "Awww my PS2 broke.. F*ck you Sony". Altered\'s had Waaaay more problems with his Sony consoles and you don\'t hear him bytching and moaning constantly.. only when it\'s relevant to the topic at hand.
At least he did something about it.. he bought an Xbox. So why don\'t you quit acting like a damned 5 year old and do the same. :evil:
-
Clowd/Killax: The 0.00 thing is a figure of speech. It reflects the current situation of the PS2 RPG scene. There\'s currently nothing to play(RPGwise) after FFX.
SonyFan: Maybe u r f**kin rich and can buy all the consoles u want, but not me. And why are u so piss off when I say something bad about SONY?? Do own share in SONY?? Is your fanboyism getting your nerves because I mentioned something not so nice about SONY??
If u r not a fanboy(which obviously u are), then it\'s really none of your F U C K I N G business if I wanna complain.
and yes, I will buy an X-Box when there is enough games I want on the system and when I\'ve the cash for it. Satisfied, Mr MoronFan??
-
Youre awfully pissed of Paul, i dont know what you expect the other consoles to give you that PS2 wont.. :) Send it to Sony and get it fixed for free (its not as if youre playing any RPGs at the moment ;)) then TAKE CARE OF IT
then again, i treat my PS2 like **** and ive never had a problem.. nor have any of my friends who are likewise.
And SonyFan isnt a fanboy :)
-
Bobs: Yes, i am pissed off coz this jerk called SONYf*** is messing with my rights for free speech.
Ur lucky u and your friends don\'t have problems but I\'ve known many people has and u can easily browse this board to see people coming in here and asking for help on their dodgy PS2.
Just because it doesn\'t affects you doesn\'t means the problem isn\'t real.
-
Aww.. here we go again. Hold on while I get a box of kleenex so you can wipe the tears outta yer eyes and try to look all tough and serious. After this post, I\'m through with you since frankly your whinney a$$ attitude is making me sick.
I ain\'t even gonna bother with the rest of your post. I\'ve got no need to defend myself from the likes of you. Call me a Fanboy.. fine.. I don\'t care. It\'s your opinion, and you\'re entitled to it... it\'s not like you\'re lil hissy fit is going to lower the image of me in this forum or any other forum I post at.
I jus do want to point out, that I\'m not comming down on you because you\'re talking trash about Sony.. I\'m comming down on you because you\'re a f*cking pu$$y who can\'t grow up and learn to deal with his problems rather than just sit on his thumbs and whine to people who don\'t even care in a thread that is asking for help.. not some BS sob stories. You wanna talk trash about Sony? Fine.. be my guest.. but do it console debate where it belongs. Critisim is fine here, but Trolling is not... which is a line you\'re very soon to cross, if you haven\'t already.
and yes, I will buy an X-Box when there is enough games I want on the system and when I\'ve the cash for it. Satisfied, Mr MoronFan??
No, I ain\'t gonna be satisfied until you\'re finsihed with your little temper tantrum.. and I could give a sh*t less if it\'s an Xbox, GC, or a brick to the head which does it.
~Out~
-
SonyFan: It goes to show...u\'ve nothing to say for your arrogant and fanboyism behaviour and now chickening out of a flame which YOU have started with all sorts of nonsense because you have no excuse for yourself. Pathetic.
But I forgive you, given you low IQ mentality, it\'s only to be expected.
Ciao.

LOL this is funny. /me gets bag of popcorn and watches
1) Yes the first batch of PS2s was faulty, get over it, no one wants to hear your *****ing.
2) Stop insulting other, respected members just because you\'re losing an arguement.
3) Zero (0.00) RPGs? Not only is this not true but also is this a reason to condemn a console? You\'ve even got that in your sig, like its sooo important. A glaring fault of the PS2. :rollseyes:
And if you really want to see zero (0.00) RPGs, get an XBox or a GameCube.

Just getting my spam in..;)

PAUL SAID: (SORRY I HAVENT FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE THE QUOTE THING)
Ur lucky u and your friends don\'t have problems but I\'ve known many people has and u can easily browse this board to see people coming in here and asking for help on their dodgy PS2.
MYSTIQ SAYS:
first off you didnt ask for help you just xpressed how much you hate the ps2 or something, that aint asking for help. Sonyfan.....you called him a fanboy.......mmmmmm let me think.........PLAYSTATION 2 FORUM...........a guy named SONYFAN............SONY(makers of playstation)........FAN(someone that adores something).........wow your are bright!!!!!!
and how can you tell people to mind their own business when you come in a forum, you know were people read and post about stuff, and post "your business", and xcept everyone to stay out of it. If you dont want us to mind our own business, then keep your business yours. Hopefully that made sense.
OHH and please dont take this the wrong way, i just dont like people that feel smart, online only, yes im talking about when you posted something about "low IQ".
-
Solid Snake: The 0.00 thingy is a figure a speech..reflecting the current PS2 situation...you DO understand the meaning of that don\'tcha?? Ask your mommy if you don\'t.
SirMystiq: Did u read something rite(need contacts?)?? I\'m not asking for help, just stating my opinion. Like Bobs_Hardware, he can disagree with his own opinion and do it in a proper manner.
SONYFan just started a personal insult because he can\'t tolerate the rights of another poster to voice his/her opinions.
So don\'t jump to conclusions too quickly and understanding properly the issue at hands before starting a reply....you might find yourself looking silly.
-
Paul Paul.. Even tho I DO agree with you.. You did come outta nowhere with this b!tchy/crying attitude.. Nobody wants to read that crap.
And about this whole crying about no RPG\'s.. Get a life! And like somebody else said.. Go buy a friggin Xbox or GC and get your real share of 0.00 RPG\'s...
-
Ajoh: Tsk. Tsk. U still do not understand the meaning of RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.
Oh and I WILL buy a XBOX if there are enough my kinda games to warrant a purchase.
Finally, if u don\'t like to read my post, why are u even wasting time reading/replying to them?? Do u have nothing else better to do, huh??
Weird...
-
who the **** is Paul and where did he come from?

Is it just me, or is this guy turning into Clowd?

And quickly Tom. Funny thing is, he once again resorts to pissing and moaning about "Free Speach" and how I\'m repressing him. I jus find that too funny.. he reminds me of that guy from Monty Python and the holy grail. "Help Help, I\'m being repressed". Please, if you\'re got the "right" to ***** endlessly when noone here wants to hear it, then I have the "Right" to call you a crybaby whiner when you don\'t wanna hear it.
Ugh.. You think you\'re the only one that right applies to? Oh my, how how special you must think you are. Musta gotten a big head on your shoulders because the school let you ride the "Short" school bus. :rolleyes:
Furthermore, your right of free speach has no effect here. This forum is private property, and the only rights you have are the ones Bjorn and whoever else owns this site gives you. Period. And as I last recall.. bashing the PS2 endlessly in the main forum was against the rules. Complaints are one thing, but not this crap you pulling. It\'s called tact.. use it. I sincerely doubt you\'d be stupid enough to run up in a Clan meeting and run around smacking the White hats in the head while quoting Malcom X. Is it any different? No.
But of course, he ain\'t gonna listen. He\'s had his feeling hurt.. you can\'t reason with him. No more than you can reason with a five year old banging his fists on the floor and balling his eyes out. Either he\'s gonna quit, or he\'s gonna stuck in the corner for a time out. It\'s his choice I guess.. it\'s his freedom to choose which he wants to do.

Well... I think it\'s a bit different..

Suit yourselves people, if you can\'t accept a different opinion, than it\'s not my problem.
I suppose I can\'t reason with cows.
Adios.

Yeah, another Clowd. Is clowd still here? Was he banned or sumtin?
-

exactly.. There really isn\'t any unless you enjoy Morrowind.. Or some card collecting game on GC.
PS2 has the most RPG\'s, they could be crap, but there\'s no need to bash a console when really there\'s really no where else to go currently.

PAUL:
no fool i dont need contacts, what you need is a better memory, you said some posts ago, some crap like "ohh i just come in here to ask for help on a faulty playstation 2 and blah blah blah blah....im crying......blah blah". and why tha hell do you keep blabbiling about freedom of speech or some crap, what are you some kind of polititian or some crap......probably not. and what kind of person in their right mind would come to a PS2 forum and talk crap about the PS2.....bright kid you are. yeah yeah PS2 is not perfect but damn you lil brat you just came in here and posted crap not a comment or an opinion.
and i can jump to conclusions whenever ta hell i feel like it, is my right aint it mr.freeedom of speech. and i dont care if i sound silly, cuz most of the time i type stuff to sound silly.
