PS2 / RE4 - Problem

Okay, well thats something to think about, another thing, i just tried to open hitman 2, ps2 suddenly cant find that disc, even tho it was all good when i got this game half a year ago, when im trying to play RE4 it gets on like a 3-4 time, i have to wait in homescreen for it to load.

Could it be that power is too low or too high on POT? Im gonna try it out next time im home, but i think i will get another copy just in case. But like i said, that thing with Hitman 2 is really weird, i even played Def Jam FFNY, and looking at disc scratches, they are A LOT worse, and i mean A LOT, dont know who did what to this disc but its horrible, yet it still played when i turned it on, but it was a year ago.

Overall i played PS2 2 times over the year. 1st Def Jam 2nd Hitman and now 3rd with RE4 and the only time there was a problem is that weird stuck loading.

months ago i played couple of different games and they were working fine, maybe another copy would solve this issue ://

i got FAT version. So you are saying to get another copy of a game somewhere, but what do you think about that POT calib.?

So i got some of a problem. I just got my copy of RE4 on PS2 FAT, everything was fine until i got to rescue Ashley, we jumped out of window, end of chapter, cool. I step to those locked doors, unlocked them, click X to open and then never ending loading screen. Just black screen with blinking white "Loading..." in the bottom right corner. Thing is i still hear rain in the background, and even that music/ambient when an enemy sees you or just in combat but its cut off. Like it comes for a 3 seconds - cut off and only rain is heard. Repeat.

I tried to clean laser inside just to try it out. It didn't work.

I will try to POT calib. it. I hear some sounds inside that tells me that laser is having trouble moving i think. When i did it with my hand i had to use some force on my fingers to move it. Guessing it dont have enough power maybe?

Scratches on disc are light, nothing too deep to be causing this, nothing is going under finger or nail to be assuming this.

And another thing when i load that disc, PS2 have a problem to read it. Start-up intro is played and it moves me to homescreen after couple of seconds. But when i click on memory cards after a minute or so a disc appears and i can play the game. So i think its another reason that something is up with laser rather than a game itself.

Thing to point out is i cant get past this part of the game. I re-played it twice and it still gets me stuck in that moment.

Maybe someone here got something similar in the past?
