30001 ps2 repair
 

my bros ps2 30001 modle needs fixing the disc drive will not rise anymore. if i turn the ps2 upside down it works fine anyone know where to find a tutorial to fix it?

thanks

Sounds like the laser to me, which is why it reads whilst upside down.

See ShadowKnyghts page for a fix:

no its not the laser its mechanical, when i put in a disc the spindle does not rise up to hold the disc in place it stays lowered like when the disc tray is out

well after another look i found the problem there are 2 nubs on the front of the assembly that broke off looks like they run in grooves on the same part that everyone breaks doing the knife swap

well my bro works at gamestop so maybe i can get him to swap the ps2s out
