Major PS2 problem!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I\'m just trying to lay down and watch a dvd movie on my PS2, well guess what, it brings up "Disk Read Error", so I try another dvd movie, same thing, every single one of my dvd movies brings this up, but then I try a couple dvd disk games and they work fine, can anybody help me?

I\'m not sure I can help you, but check your settings. Also have you played DVD movies in the past? Since you can play games and not movies it probably got something to do with your settings. I will say this though, I had to take back my first PS2(Thank God I purchased th extended warranty) because it would play DVD movies and games but not PS2 format games. For some reason the laser lens went out on it, probably because of dust, but now my PS2 is enclosed in glass so no worries.

Welp try cleaning the laser and if that doesn\'t work consider trying this  http://www.geocities.com/secretcreator/


butr do so at your own risk

I just hope your right because if I have to ship it off and pay for a repair I may go crazy, I can\'t afford to repair it now that I think about it, I have to pay for a car and everything, this is bull****, I went from liking Sony to pissed in one day, damn it

That\'s funny. I love threads about people having broken PS2\'s.

(Gently caresses fully operational PS2)

(Drops it)

(Breaks)

Damn.

I was laughing it up too, that is until mine went kaputt, so keep laughing now because your not safe forever, oh and I called sony trouble shooters and of course after he had me do a bunch of **** with the PS2 he dicided I need to send mine in for repair, 115$, hell I\'ll go buy a new dvd player with that money, this is bull****, and does anybody know how long it takes to get the PS2 back once you ship it

Seems like to me it\'s a settings problem or something. It just doesn\'t make sense you can play DVD games and not movies. Maybe your DVD movies are scratched, or maybe you accidentally changed something under the settings you didn\'t mean to. I still want to know if you have been able to play movies on it in the past. I have no idea how long it would take to get it back, but I\'d imagine 4-6 weeks. I wouldn\'t send it anywhere until I knew for sure it was absolutely not going to work. It would be cheaper to go buy a 5.99 DVD that you know isn\'t scratched before sending it in for 115$

Well when I talked to the Sony guy he had me do stuff in settings and try it and it still didn\'t work, and it was a new dvd movie, just opened, and all the other movies aren\'t scratched, and I have been able to watch dvd movies before, just 2 weeks ago I watched one and it worked just fine, so this makes no sense

yeah, i had some major problems with the first ps2 I got
1st they gave us the wrong dvd remote (it was in a bundle) and then it wouldnt play dvd movies
then it wouldnt read a game disk and finally after multiple visits back to the retailer and many angry nights
it finally works without much problem

Ya I heard that alot of the earlier PS2 have had problems. I mean I had my first one from the release date and it screwed up(see my previous post) I\'m just curious Bozco, what is the Date code on the back of your PS2??

Has anybody heard the Wal-Mart trick, don\'t you take back your PS2 with the box and everything and say its broke and get a new one

I doubt that would work, they usually want a receipt when it comes to electronics, but hey I guess it would be worth a shot.

Wal-Mart can be quite gulible at times, I did that with my PSX along time ago and it worked, but they have changed thier return policy since then.

Well I\'m willing to try anything right about now, I\'ll try all the big electronic stores, for god sakes let one of them fall for it

What you should do is wait till Christmas. Then try taking it back to all the stores and tell them Grandma Thelma from Kalamazoo sent it to you for Christmas and you don\'t have the receipt.

good idea, plus most places are so busy returning things, they just want to get you in and out.
