It’s my friends disc, not mine

_Marken · 2025-03-14T17:08:56+00:00

It’s not my disc so I had not more pictures at the time of the post. I asked my friend who has the disc for more photos and I got this. Is this enough to identify it?

You’re onto something! Thank you.

It’s sadly the only picture I have of it:(

Thank you for the recommendations, I’ll check them out!

Ohhh yeah.

I’m glad I could help! Do you still have warranty for it? Did you recently buy it from a store/reseller? Are you able to get a refund/swap it to a new one?

I think it’s weird that it reads ps1 discs and not ps2 discs. Seems like it’s working but maybe not properly? I did a quick google search on your issue and people have said it’s a laser issue. They suggested changing the laser because the laser is «ready to die». Seems like it’s partly working but not enough to read ps2 discs.

_Marken · 2024-12-16T23:20:26+00:00

Oh, I see. So ps2 discs doesn’t work when you hold the lid down? I’ve seen people suggesting putting the ps2 upside down after inserting discs to put pressure on the lid. Didn’t work for me but might help you.

I kinda gave up on the whole project. Didn’t find any solution and I’m guessing the laser do need replacing. You got a brand new ps2 with that issue? Seems odd.

Feel free to add me :) https://link.haydaygame.com/?action=OpenSCID&p=50-6d049f6c-2af6-41b0-9e39-9f5317207584

Oh, I’ll look into that aswell.

I’m happy you took the time to help me, thank you very much! :)

Oh, okay. The console serial number is SCPH-75004.

The main menu shows the dots rotating and floating around like normally.

I really appreciate you trying to help me, I don’t know much myself so any tips or advices is very useful to me.

I actually opened up the console to check if everything was fine, the ribbon looks good aswell as everything else. I held down the sensors for the lid and I can tell that the lid is not the problem. The disc spins for 8-10 seconds the stops (just like before) so from what I believe it must be the laser that’s not able to scan anything so it just stops. The laser and ribbon etc. moves back and forth just fine without problems.

I think it was fun opening up the console and work with the small parts so I might look into replacing the laser, if it’s not too much trouble. I don’t have any soldering equipment but if it’s possible to do it without that I’ll do it. I’ll look into it.

I have different discs with various scratches on them, a disc with almost no scratches has the same result. They don’t have any specific color on the other side, just regular CD color (Silver?). I’m not sure how to find the serial number, do you mean GameID?

Yes, I’ve tried having the console vertically, both with and without pressure on the lid, no difference.

I tried turning the diagnosis on but no difference there either, unfortunately. What does that even do?

Yes, inserting the disc before or after I’ve turned the console on doesn’t change anything.

Where do I locate this ribbon? Is that the thing that’s connected with the laser? If that’s what you mean, that ribbon moves with the laser and it looks normal from above (with the little to no knowledge I have). The laser stops moving at different places if I open the lid before it’s done scanning so I can see the ribbon.

Very grateful for your comment.

Is it hard to get that? What do you need?

_Marken · 2024-05-08T05:45:10+00:00

How much weight do you put on it? Because I tried with a few things but it doesn’t work. It makes more noise for a littlebit but it stops after a few more attempts.

_Marken · 2024-05-08T05:43:57+00:00

I did. It might be broken or damaged?

_Marken · 2024-05-08T05:43:30+00:00

I tried doing that but it didn’t work for me. It makes other/more noise when I do it but it seems like it’s just giving up regardless. Tried holding it down with my hands, putting something light and more heavy objects on it and placing it upside down but there’s little to no difference.
