Ps2 laser working like crazy

[Dustpuppy]

well, even if it is on it's way to die it can't hurt try to get it going for another few months. can't afford a new laserusit right now so I have few options.

1. Don't play the backup of the titles that give me most problems.
2. Give up playing
3. Try to fix some more good workingdays out of it.

Hey, warlock, I said I haave a standalone dvd player for movies. I oly test with one movie because I know it loded withouth problems before.

[Warlock]

Yes, i read the post. All i am saying is dvd movies dont belong in a PS2. Its bad on the laser.

[ottoman]

Almost as bad for the laser as backups!!

Thry looking here

I did a lengthy explanation on how to adjust the laser height for optimum performance and have had very good results without having to adjust pots.

[Dustpuppy]

Thanks Ottoman, I will probably do that tonight then when the kids sleep.
havn't had time yet for try the pots and what you said in that thread is indeed a nice way to do it....even if it is timeconsuming..

WHen you say from very bottom. do I just turn the cog until the unit drops down?

[ottoman]

yep. with the ps2 the right way up turn either the cog or both cogs ( depending on model) so that the laser runners are in their lowest position ( laser furthest from the disc) and go from there
