Sorry - I should have read your first post properly. If you have cleaned the lens properly ...

Your post is telling us that neither CDs nor DVDs read well. It is unusual for both laser diodes to fail. You don't mention which model PS2 you have, whether or not you have a modchip.

When the Disk spins and stops, it means that the laser can't focus on its tracking groove. This MIGHT be due to the need for azimuth adjustment (search this forum under that expression for my guide on what to do here). There would need to be a reason why the laser lens is not parallel with the disk.

If adjusting the laser's azimuth doesn't work, it seems likely that a new lazer is required. Has this PS2 been well used in the past?
