well, earlier today the ps2 would not even open the cd-rom/dvd tray, something to do with the reset/eject cable is a little torn up but i just taped it up a bit and it seems to be working fine although there is this other major problem im having and i really would like to fix it, ive got a purple & silver disc'd games, only have 2 games at moment, and well.. it wont play the silver type games and it wont play dvd movies. ive tried to clean the lens with a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a qtip and drying it off with the other end of the qtip and ive also tried using a can of air duster, and well that has never seemed to of fixed it, does anyone else know as to what i could possibly do to fix this so i can play the dvd movies and silver disc games.
hope someone has a solution to my problem that ive got.

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 anymore with the new one

@bamfan_1 - Try tweaking it. If not, then you need a new lens, sorry. Hope the info helps.
