Advice Needed

[Steven]

I was just wondering if any body knows anything about playstation 2s as mines seems to be broken
Everytime i try to play a game it just says disk read error
I would be most grateful if anybody could tell me what could be wrong with it?
Or has any past experience of what is is like when u open one up as i am thinking of doing so to see if i can locate the problem

I have already tryed to clean the laser using a special Laser cleaning CD (basically a CD with a tiny brush on it) but this doesnt work!!!

If u do know any details please just leave a message below

It sounds as if the laser that reads your games is broken. Do NOT attempt to open the console yourself unless you know what you are doing. I don't know how old your console is - if its relativley new is it still under warranty?

I work in a games store, so I know you can't buy anything over the counter to fix this yourself. I recommend Park Computers in B'burn - they know what they are doing over there.

Well ur post was too late and i opened it up and it was the laser what needed cleaning and also the loading tray came of its runner, so that complicated things it took me about 3 hours to finsh and get it working but now all is good

Thanks for the advice

And a tip to anyone else dont open it up unless u know what u are doing
I didnt but flucked it

By the way how much would a new laser of cost if it had of broke?

Thanks again

I don't know how much exactly. I only have a basic knowledge of how they work. I can't see it being that much though.
