PS2 making clicking sound when loading games

[earthman]

Hi, my ps2 have clicking noise too, my clicking noise is when I play the game with Hdl and in the middle of loading and then it seems to freeze and make a rapid clicking noise. so is that mean my hd is dead. or is there anything it can fix it...


ps2 modded dms3, model no. SCPH-30001 R

hi i had a 50001 system in last week that was doing the same, what was wrong was the sled rails needed greaseing( use sillacone grease or as a last resort wd40 on a cotton bud) after that no problems also done the romeo mod on it so see if the laser is sticking on the rails it should be moveing freely some times on the older systems the white arm that runs on the worm drive wears on the v9-10 this can be lightly bent down to give it more grip (i do mean LIGHTLY)
hope it helps

The laser is clicking because it cannot focus on the grove on the cd/dvd. I would take it apart and clean the laser with a cue tip as well as be sure the rails are lubed like Sawdust stated. hopefully this will fix the problem, if not it may be time for a new laser
