Damn PS2's

[Special K 0]

Well my PS2 seems to be having problems. I just bought God of War and really wanted to get to some good ol ultraviolence, and it won't read the game. It's been steadily going downhill, And I had been playing with it on its side for over a year since that was the only way it worked.

 

It boots up fine, but it just WON'T sense the disc. I've only had a game freeze on me like once if it can actually detect the disc. It's probably sorta dusty. Maybe I should pop it open, but I'd rather send it somewhere to get it refurbished. Do you know anyone who does this? Gamestop sells refurbed systems, perhaps them? Apparently I can send it back to Sony for like $20 plus shipping, but I want to play games now, dammit. I still have the last mission of Growlanser II to beat as well.

 

Suggestions?

Read this. It's fairly straightforward and its worked like a charm for me.

Have you tried a dvd lens cleaner disc?

 

just wondering, since I just bought one and used it once (not that I was having problems *knock wood* but I figured it would be dusty and dirty after 2 and a half years of use)

I cleaned the lens, and it didn't make a noticeable difference either way. Well, I can trade it for $20 and get a refurbed PS2 from Gamestop for 120 (or 130 for the slim PS2, I think I'll go for that). Hey, I'll be able to beat Rez and Katamari and God of War and Viewtiful Joe and Growlanser II. yeah.

That happen to me when I rented out Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but when I but bought it... never happen. I guess it's a conspriacy to pony-up the cash hmmm>?
