So why wont my ps2 read blue discs?
Many owners of the PS2 console do experience that when using blue disc games, they get 'disc rear error' message that appears on the browser screen. This also happens if you are trying to playing your old PS1 black disc games because they are also a 'Compact Disc'. But it doesn't happen to silver game discs, since they are DVD type of discs. The reason why this problem occurs is because blue and black games discs tend to slip inside the disc tray, due to a design flaw on the PlayStation 2 fat console. As for fixing this problem, you can place tape onto the top surfaces of the disc and it will make the disc to the clamp inside the disc drive mechanism much more secured. For most people, this tape trick has worked, so why not give it a try?
Instructions:
1) Using a pair of scissors, cut 4 pieces of tape of the roll, masking tape, parcel tape or insulation tape would be ideal to use.
2) Get either a black or blue game disc that you want to fix and place the shiny surface down, onto a clean and soft surface. The printed graphics on the disc should be facing up.
3) Now individually stick each piece of tape around the disc's center hole, like shown in the image below.
4) Go over the tape with your fingers because you want to ensure that the tape is firmly stuck onto the disc. You don't want any loose tape because when the disc is spinning inside the disc tray, the tape can come off and get trapped inside the disc mechanisms, causing more problems!
5) Once you have finished doing that, go ahead and reinsert the game disc you fixed into you PlayStation 2 console. Fingers-crossed it should work, if still doesn't read that game, then the laser is on its way out and needs replacing.

So why does my PS2 slimline have a noisy fan?
The reason why you hear the cooling fan inside your PS2 slimline spinning like crazy is because the internal hardware inside it is suffering from overheating. Overheating can occur if your console is not getting proper air ventilation around it, since it blocks that airflow. Overheating overtime can cause the graphics and processor chips to get damaged. So the best thing to do right now is to start making some changes before it's too late.

Instructions:
1) Examine your ps2 slim console, locate the rear and front air ventilation vents and look carefully into them. If you see that they are really dusty, this results in the hot air inside the case to become trapped. This is not good, so you will need to give them a clean. Don't blow the dust out with your mouth, because you might be thinking that the dust is gone, but really you are blowing the dust back into the insides of the console. So I would suggest using a household vacuum cleaner to perform the cleaning, since it will be sucking the dust out and not forcing it back in.
2) Ensure that your PS2 slimline is getting proper air ventilation around the positioning of the console. The air ventilation vent, found at the back of the console is used for the cooling fan to extract the hot air out of the case. So make sure your console is not pushed right against a wall, shelf or cabinet because it will allow air to escape more freely out of the console.
3) If you find that the cooling fan becomes loud and noisy after long periods of continuous use of the PlayStation 2 slim console, then switch if off and don't use it for about 10 minutes. This will allow the internal hardware to cool its self back down to a cool operating temperature. The slim model is more prone to suffer from overheating because of its small internal design and small sized cooling fan, in comparison with the older fat style model.
