My PS2 started to show signs of tiredness about 6 months ago, I stripped it and cleaned laser lens with lens cleaner an q-tip.

Then I changed cdr brand from datasafe to Verbatim datalife plus and dvdr brand from Clonedisc 1X (Ritek Dye) to Traxdata 4X.

I also got new cd and dvd burner an run lens cleaning disc through ps2 once a month ( 3 times dry then 3 times wet ).

It now working better than ever an have had no problems at all with it.

If yrs getting a bit tired then the worst yr gonna have to do is change the laser which is reasonably easy to do and will give yr ps2 another couple of years life.

Also a block of coarse foam behind the fan ( make sure it coarse or ps2 processor will get hot) does away with dust inside and it don't hurt to strip down an get a hoover with brush attachment in there to remove the excess dust.
