PS2 not reading the discs
« on: April 09, 2008, 08:12:22 AM »
Hi guys, today i bought a broken ps2 SLIM from my classmate for a nice price. It powers up ok but the problem it has is that it doesnt read any disc. Now i am wondering if i will have to replace the whole drive or just the laser. When i insert the disc it doesnt even spin it, absolutely no reaction. I am worried that if i buy a new laser i could find out that the spinning motor or however you call it is broken and i bought a useless laser. So my question is, is there a easy way to find out if the problem is in the laser or the motor? and would the disc spin with a broken laser? Thx so much :victory:
