Title: Fixed my playstation!
Post by: MPTheory on March 17, 2003, 09:00:04 AM

So on Friday, after work, Juslight and I took apart my Playstation 2 so we could figure out what the problem was.  First we cleaned the lens (which did nothing).  After that, we adjusted the power of the laser.  I was a little scared of doing that at first. I love how the warrenty sticker reads void when you delaminate it from the playstation.  Anyway, to make a long story short, within an hour, My playstation was playing blue disks again!!!! I love tribes ;)

Yeah adjusting the laser pots (or whatever they\'re called again) is pretty scary. Never had to do it myself luckily. Cool that it worked tho. :)

yeah.  It wasnt that bad at all.  It was only scary opening it up the first time.  Once you see and know where everything is, its not so bad.
