I just received a PS2 that I had purchased(Model # SCPH-50001). I tried three different games and all read "DISC READ ERROR". It does play Audio CDs fine, but it won't read games or DVDs. I tried looking online for help on what to do and almost all the help I could find were for earlier models. I have tried cleaning the lens with rubbing alcohol, but that has not helped. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix please it would really be appreciated. Thanks.

Go buy a new laser....95 % of all faulty PS2 are due to this problem

If u wanne do it yourself, the type of laser is marked on the laser itself.

There´s like a million or two guides on the net on "how to fumble"!!!
