disc won't spin

Post by mystilinn »

HELP! :( I left for the holidays and my roommate left my PS2 on for 3 days straight. :x Now the disc will not spin. Can it be fixed and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks Mysti :twisted:

3 days eh? Well I usually play for longer...........anyways.
  1. Power on the PS2 with no disks in there.
  2. Go into the BROWSER.
  3. Place a disk in the drive and check to see if it tries to read.
Assuming that you've been inside your PS2 before.
  1. Open the lens assembly / disk tray.
  2. With the PS2 off, manually move the lens to the back of the PS2.
  3. Power on, and turn on the PS2.
If the lens moves to the home position and lights up and such, then your lens motor could be ok. If it still doesn't read anything (CD AUDIO / DVD MOVIES) then the lens is probably whacked. If you have a spare, or you can get your hands on a lens for testing purposes, then do so and see how it works out. Hope the info helps.
