whats wrong with it?

d0thedew87 · #3 23-05-2003, 13:29

it doesn't read disks anymore, i cleaned the lens w/ a lens cleaner, but i can't get it to read disks (i get "disk read error") which i assume means really dirty lens, or dead lens, but i'm not sure so correct me if i'm wrong.

thanx

saw ur other post, i may be able to help you fix it, but its gonna cost. i hate magic chips.

Before you do anything try a cleaning disc.

good call, or you can look in the search fuction, and look up laser, it may need replacing, but i bet the magic chip messed up something

d0thedew87 · #8 23-05-2003, 18:54

hmm...well it was working perfectly yesterday and it just crapped out last night, i tried laser cleanser and it didn't work, and dvd and cd's don't work....yea i'll try to change the laser, do you really think the magic chip did something to it? if so what do you recommend?

thanx

I doubt it, what version is your ps2?

bighap · #10 23-05-2003, 21:46

It is a v4, so the laser could be on its way out or just need some tweaking.

Seven O Two · #11 24-05-2003, 01:38

or the cd dvd controller wires came off, or were somehow joined. i remember the v4, i hate it

d0thedew87 · #12 24-05-2003, 11:00

so does that mean it will be hard to open it up and repair myself...because i think i'm willing to risk learning how to fix it myself (for future reference) however i would rather not break it (obviously!!!)....otherwise i'll just send it to someone....because you think it's just the laser right? oh well

thanx again!!
