How To Fix a PS2 Slimline Thats Not Reading Discs

If you own a ps2 slimline console and the disc won't spin and you get the disc read error message displayed on your television, i have the solutions below to help you fix this problem:

1)Sometimes the disc that you are inserting into the console can be dirty. So get a lint free cloth and wipe the shiny side of the disc clean. If the disc is scratched, you can try to use toothpaste to remove the scratches. Dirt and scratches can cause the ps2 slimline to cause a disk read error.

2)Sometimes the lens of the laser can get dirty and get dusty, which can prevent the ps2 slimline from reading discs, as the laser struggles to read data of the disc. So to begin the cleaning process, you will need a ear bud and some rubbing alcohol. Once you both of them items, eject the ps2 lid, so you can get access to the laser in the console. Once you have ejected the lid, if you have a game disc that is still inserted into the console, remove the disc. Pour a sensible amount of rubbing alcohol onto one end of the ear bud and gently clean the laser lens. Once you have cleaned it, let the rubbing alcohol evaporate for about 1 minute and then insert the game disc back into the console.

Power on your ps2 slimline console, hopefully it will read the disc perfectly, if not move on to solution 3.

3)The laser is damaged, so you will need to order a replacement laser and dissemble the ps2 console and replace the laser that is currently in the ps2 console, with the replacement laser.
