No way that I am aware.......but when you're fitting up the PS2, try not putting in the cover screws (the 6-8 screws @ the underside). It could be that after fitting it up the cover is on too tight. If it still doesn't work after not inserting the screws, then your assumption may be right. To test t...

You sound like you have a lens problem. Meaning either the laser lens, or the spindle top. A new PS2 would do the trick, or if you know someone that is tech savvy, and willing to do the fix for you. Try tweaking the lens first, and checking for the spindle top being bad. Then changing the lens if al...

Good thing you got a new one. You'd probably have to get a new lens for the old one. That's all it needs anyways, a new lens IMO. If you can't play DVD MOVIES or the SILVER games (DVD games) then it's a lens problem. Maybe if the lens was adjusted/tweaked it would work, but I doubt U need to do that...

Try an AUDIO CD and a DVD MOVIE in there. Depending on which of those play, or not play, we will know where the problem lies. Specifically, the problem seems to be with your lens, and you may need to get a new one. If you can play AUDIO CD's then you should be able to play CD based games (PS1 and BL...

If you could get a reaaaly thin bird-beak plier, or some good tweezers, you should be ok. As long as you know what goes where, all is good. If the ribbon-cables giving you trouble are the ones going to the right side of the PS2 (opposite side from the power supply) then you need to ensure that all e...

Probably. And I've heard about and seen the tape method in action, but it's just for games that are skipping or skidding when inserted into the console. Your problem is lens related, and you're going to need a new lens. The lens in the earlier model PS2's have known issues. Some end up reading CD on...

The slim is nice. The lens reads so much better than the older models, but it's a pain to chip. Anyways, there should be some info online on how to open it up. I can't remember offhand. If you find something, and go inside, hopefully it's a loose wire or the button got broke (the plastic that is ove...

There are sites that deal with how to open your PS2. Your problem with the scratches could be a lens problem, as well as it could be the spindle cover magnet not working properly (poor magnetism) and therefore not holding the disk down properly during reading/spinning. If you still can't find any in...
