PS2 can't read my discs.

So I found my old dusty PlayStation 2 Slim behind some boxes in my room. I opened it up, cleaned it and then plugged it in. But when I put a disc in, it wouldn't run games. So I went to check in the browser and it just told me "The disc could not be read.". I tried checking if the disc was spinning, and yes it was. I also switched between 4 different games but it gave the same result. I also tried cleaning the lens. Any ideas on how to fix this?

It's bust

To answer your question. If you Google your question, you would be able to receive more results than what you are getting here as of today. Game FAQ - PS2 Won't Play Disks. Best of luck!

I'd try cleaning it with a wet cloth

why?

U have had this problem once. My ps2 needed a new disc reader

Take it apart and give the laser a clean with alcohol.

Why not just buy a new PS2? I'm sure you can get them for really cheap now.

@glitch-: There are no places that sell it around my parts. And I'm bad at buying stuff online so I don't really want to get scammed

I had a similar problem with the laser I just brought another system rather than messing with the tech stuff. Good thing is everything is saved on the memory card. If that happened to my Xbox one and I lost everything it would be gutting.

to put it simply your boned

The laser of your disc reader is broken, the cheapest fix is to buy a used ps2 from somehere ?

@rexx23ify: Any flea market would have about 20+ systems for sale, probably around 10 bucks. Also, you’ll find a plethora of games for about a buck a game. You may even score a rare game or two.

Just try the laser adjustment described above. It's free, and if you'd otherwise consider it broken now then you don't really have anything to lose
