OMG..... my ps2 stoped reading disks again...
« on: December 22, 2001, 08:25:05 AM »
yeap it happened again, for the "3rd" time my ps has stoped reading disks completly... I am starting to get impatient, my first one stoped reading disk so i sent it in and paid 120.00 bucks for them to "clean my dusty lens" then 3 months later it happened again, so i took it to my work and traded it in for a brand new ps2, and now about 1-2 months later it craps out! my work doesn\'t have anymore ps2\'s so i have to wait till we get some in before I can get my new one... THIS SUCKS...

Loads of people are getting this problem and its getting fixed by buying a CD/DVD lens cleaner, why dont you try that

1) Go to Walmart and buy a new PS2
2) Take it home
3) Take your PS2 and switch it with the other one
4) Peel the Serial Number sticker off each of them and put on the other(they may check serial numbers)
5) Put old one in the new box
5) Return to the store for a refund

If you switch the serial number stickers there is really no way of telling which PS2 is in the box.  Good Luck!

Mine started not to read blue disc only and I just used  DVD-CD lens cleaner and it works 100% now.  Every PS2 will have this problem because the dusts gets on the lens.  Sony have to put some type of shield or something on the lens unit.

This is getting way out of hand.  Good luck with the switcheroo, man.

this dusty lens thing is truly getting out of control, we all need to send sony an e-mail and tell them that they have to do something with the ps2\'s lenses.

Get your PS2 changed..
I got a 2 year waranty on my PS2..

The new version here is called SCPH-30005..
It wont cost you anything.. Just have your shop send it to Sony and they will send you a new one.. (Thats how it is here anyways)

Will take about 2-3 weeks..

Using DVD/CD cleaners wont always work. Sometimes, the its ir-reversible. Like my ONE DVD, its doesnt play it... nothing I do will fix it. So Im gonna try and try taking it back to Kmart or do the ol switch at wal-mart.

Congrats on the 3000 posts. :)

Its a little harder than that unfortunatly. For starters I got the PS2 from a catalogue. Even if I didn\'t however it would be up to the shop in question if they wanted to give me a new model from their stock. The warrentee I got with mine just means Sony gives you the option of reparing the PS2 or getting a reconditioned model which I did and it worked even worse. So you can see why I am pissed off. Im currently waiting for the next reconditioned delevery because they didn\'t even show up last time.

LOL.. Thanks.. I forgot about that :D

I see.. Thats why I always like to buy stuff in a store here in town.. (Hardware, games I can buy online)

I guess you were just unlucky when you got that new console and it didnt work. :(
