Hi, ps2 problems

[battybackup]

i had similar problem on my old ps2. the laser moves up and down the disc on a screw, there is a plastic piece that goes from the laser into the screw grooves thus when the screw turns the laser moves up and down using the grooves. i found that this plastic piece warps with the heat of continuous play and skips in the grooves making a clicking noise, causing the laser to stick and eventually stops working.
BAD DESIGN BY SONY SHOULD HAVE USED A METAL PIECE INSTEAD - OR MAYBE THIS IS WHAT THEY WANTED TO HAPPEN, SO EVERY FEW YEARS YOU HAVE TO REPLACE YOUR SYSTEM?
