Urgent Help Needed

sorry to be really thick as i havent messed around with these things before but where is the lens situated and failing that how do i calibrate

Take the top off the PS2, and undo the four screws atop the DVD-ROM Drive. Then, rmove the screw holding in the right laser sled, slide the laser off and get your bud under there. Then reassemble and try. If it fails, calibration involves yet more dismantling, i'm afraid

Your PS2 plays Audio CD’s but not blue PS2 CD games. Did you also try any black PS1 games? I would suspect that they probably work as well. It's probably not the laser optics. Your PS2 may have a bad Spindle Motor or Laser control IC. Check laser ribbon for wear. You might just want to sell it and get a newer station.

yes it does play the black ps1 games ill give it a clean and then try recalibrating and post a bit later.

thanks for the help
