This started last week. Everytime I close the tray it would make this rubbing/grinding noise. The rubbing starts when the tray is like 3/4\'s closed.

It doesnt make the noise when the tray is opening though.

Anyone else exp this?? Thanks!!

what way dose your PS2 stand ?

You could try ejecting the tray and then turning the ps2 over (whilst tray open) and applying,
in a very small amount, some lubricant (oil or grease) to the tray runners and gear strip.

Apply as little as you can as you could cause a build up, and create more problems. i\'d say grease would be better.

Ok thanks, I\'ll try greasing it.
My PS2 stands horizontally.

Yep, i suppose so.. Spray some WD into a bottle cap or something then dip in a cotton bud
then apply it to the tray using the cotton bud

you may only need to dip the bud once.. it should be enough.
