Need some help !
« on: November 13, 2002, 07:12:20 PM »
Yo people ! i have had my PS2 since launch ! the first day ever in Canada ! but i just started having trouble and its being a fussy little ***** ! i does not want to play suikoden 3 anymore , but plays FFX , not Gran turismo 3 , but Kessen ! its pissing me off ! also  from time to time i hear a little noise like if it was hitting or scratching something ! so what do you guys think ? and remember i have had it for over 2 years so opening it and just taking off dust and setting screws right IS AN OPTION !

thanks in advance guys !

I\'m on my third console. All I can say is I hope cleaning the lens will help. It did for awhile with my first 2, but the clicking you are hearing is the laser trying to read the disk. I could be wrong but that is what happened to me just before it decided to die on me.

I have my new one I just bought about 10 weeks ago, and I have one boxed up in my closet that only plays blue disk. I had a warranty on the first one I got at launch and traded it in for the second one that lasted just over a year.

Good luck to you...I really hope yours hasn\'t died. Sony made fixes to the newer consoles released, not nearly as many returns or problems from what I hear.

The launch consoles though... I had nothing but problems with mine. I\'m glad you have gotten 2 years out of it. Maybe a good lens cleaning will help it out. I\'ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Nah mine has been makeing that clicking noise forever and it still reads every game.Go here http://www.gamefaqs.com and look under the PS2 hardware section for a cleaning walkthrough.If that doesn\'t fix it there is a walkthrough for adjusting the strength of the CD and DVD lasers.

If that doesn\'t work you can put it in the freezer.

I\'ve had my AUS 30000 series PS2 since DEC last year and no probs at all. My JAP launch PS2 was really, really dodgy.
