Title: Help Please!!!
Post by: LauraGof on January 08, 2005, 05:52:57 PM
We have a ps2 and we just bought a ps2 game "Top Gun".

We can not play it.  It comes up on the screen as "Disk Read Error"

What could the problem be?

We have cleaned the disk thinking that may be the problem.  But it is still giving us the wrong error.  

Thanks

Laura

1.  Is it a blue colored disk?

2.  How old is your PS2?

Hi Laura we\'re gonna be nice to you since you\'re a girl and I\'ve only seen about a dozen or so of those in real life.

When I had the disc read error on a new, clean disc I had to open the PS2 and clean the lens with a Q-Tip.  Read the guide herehere (http://www.psx2central.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=32569) to see how to open it up.  I didn\'t need to adjust the laser or anything so maybe just a simple lens cleaning is what you need as well.

I like the freezer method ;)

well you laugh, but putting the discs in the freezer works well.  It tightens up the grooves in the disc.  I\'ve had one disc I had to do it to.

DUde, you freaking rock.  I tried it and I got 50 extra meg on the disc.  I wonder how long it takes to cool down and you lose what you\'ve gained.

Well,  I did a little research on the site after I posted.  I should have did the research before.  I ended up taking the ps2 apart and cleaning it.  That did the job.  Thanks for being nice. :)

That means that if I leave long enough it  could transform from a remote control into a plasma TV

Post by: Unicron! on January 09, 2005, 12:25:40 PM
exactly...could work
On the other hand the freezer method always does the job

And its much easier and takes much less brain power.

Have you just called me dumb?
Title: Help Please!!!
Post by: DeAnna on January 09, 2005, 02:43:42 PM
No, I don\'t think so...

If I did, I didn\'t mean to......

OOHH, you mean by the brain power thing. No, I\'m just saying, it takes a lot more brain power and patience to take all them screws out and mess around with cleanin the laser and stuff than to just put it in the freezer.

Post by: Unicron! on January 09, 2005, 02:50:09 PM
are you implying that I am bored or that I find it harder to use my brain and skills?
Title: Help Please!!!
Post by: DeAnna on January 09, 2005, 02:55:01 PM

Dude, I\'m not jealous. You are obviously covering up by making such stupid accusations. I think it is you who likes her or you are trying to cover up your homosexuality.

cypriots don\'t cover up their homosexuality. They embrace it.

Greeks are notorious ass-rammers. (and before you say you\'re not greek, I\'d like you to show me the difference.)
Title: Help Please!!!
Post by: Unicron! on January 11, 2005, 05:22:38 AM
1)Correct.Since I am not gay I have nothing to cover up
2)It seems we greeks have a broader view of sex since we try more things than just pussy.I can be a sexologist and a psychologist for you if you want.Dont forget.For you its FREE man because you are a good guy!!!
