Hi all,
Sorry if this issue has already been addressed.
After playing a newly bought game for a very short time, I needed to reload. There was a high pitched fast chirp noise. The game tried to load continuously. Reset didn't help. I tried multiple times with multiple dvds. Sometimes, the machine tries to load forever, other times, there was the disc read error.
I cleaned the laser lens. . . no help.
I checked the laser. . . still works.
What can be causing this problem (i.e. drive motor, gear. . .)?
I've had my ps2 for about 2 years now. I've never had any problems with it until this occured.
Can anyone please offer some suggestions? Anything at all.
Thanks.

It' also not the plastic teech trying to grab onto the gold cylinder.
I don't have any idea what's wrong with this thing.
Once I put the dvd in, it's like it doesn't exist. The machine either can't read it or won't read it.

i would really like to know about this aswell.. mine is doing the same things.. ive cleaned the lense and everything but it doesnt load my game completely. it just stops at one point in the startup...

take the laser and uderneath there 2 little screws
these are called pots get a multimeter. the top pot should
be cd and the other pot is dvd .place probe at the bottom
of the pot and the other probe on the other side get a little screw
driver turn the pot you should get a reading 1100ohms for cd
and 950ohms dvd . good luck
