LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 So lately my PS2 had made a lot of noise when attempting to load games...I wasn't sure if it was hurting the actual disks, so I just borrowed another ps2 pff a friend. Anyways, I did some googling, and it seems like it's a lens problem. Anyone else have this happen to them? What's the best way to fix it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 Best ways to fix the PS2's main flaw: 1) Repair It Your-Self With The Every Wonderful How To Guide. Sadly, I don't have the link on me anymore since my links were deleted. It does allow you to fix it up yourself without any hassles. Recommend: Not really, unless you are pretty good with mechanices and not fucking up shit. 2) Send It To Sony. If they ask for a $100 or so, tell them to fuck off and fix the damn thing. They can not charge you as they've been sued by some people who had billed, and those people who sued won. Therefore this is free of charge. Recommend: Only if you don't care for Option 1 and don't really have Option 3 available. Although, you do get a brand new one sent to you. The downside of the brand new one is the flaw is not fixed in it and meaning sooner or later, you run right back into the same problem. 3) Local Gaming Store Does Repairs. This will most likely cost you $30 for repair job, you get it cleaned, the flaw is fixed and a six month warrenty on it if it breaks (at least the place I went to did). Recommend: Highly. It gets the damn flaw fixed, you get a warrenty in case it does break. How can you beat that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheBigCalbowski Report post Posted December 24, 2004 Happened to me few months into playing SD: HCTP. Then about a week after I started playing SD vs. Raw, it wouldn't even load to the next screen after a match. It's more of the lens getting caught in the rods that hold it since certain games have it moving around a lot reading from different parts of the disc. I actually traded my unit in and got 30 bucks off for the new mini. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 Something that works, if you're getting that 'grinding noise' that so many people complained about with HCTP, is turning your PS2 vertical. (if you play it horizontal). Or at least I've found that to work, ,because I now have my PS2 vertical and it doesn't make a sound... I also know there's a spot you can hit it..but yea...lol :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
