Not another one!!! Sorry to hear about this problem! Recently the same problem happened to me and I posted a same thread, my playstation 2 just suddenly stopped reading DVD\'s so I preformed the diagnostic mode on my machine, kept getting the DISC READ ERROR! I said to my self I don\'t need the dvd player, I already own one. Then suddenly I can\'t play PSONE or PS2 games that really pissed me off and I called Sony! Well, I called Sony told them my problem and they told me to send it in. To my surprise they told me it was a pretty common problem. I WAS SHOCKED!!! I totally agree with Ratlad Sony should do some type of recall! For some reason there are a number of units that simply stop reading the discs. I am totally pissed off at Sony! They know they have faulty units out there and they aren\'t doing a dam thing.....
Well luckily I am still under warranty and I sent in my playstation. they told me the same thing they told EmperorRob "it will take 10-15 days is from the date your unit is assigned to a technician. So if it takes 3 days to get to the service center and 10 days for them to fix it and 4 days to get it back, that\'s 20 days."
Its been two weeks since I sent in my Playstation 2 and I haven\'t received anything. One thing Sony told me was if your unit cant be repaired they\'ll give you a new unit, and when you receive your unit back from the technician you get a whole new 90 days of warranty again.
(I\'m not sure about the 1 year warranty, Sony told me 90 days)
I really regret not getting the store full 2 year warranty. I bought my unit from Comp USA. I suggest that if anyone is planning on buying a new system to strongly think about getting the extended warranty. It will save you a lot of trouble in the future if your unit goes faulty and trust me there are faulty units out there. SONY KNOWS!!!
