hi im new here and i bought a cheap slim PS2 off ebay . it does work with no problem but after an hr of playing it scratches near the edge of games disks... like a ring scratch ..... i already pulled a part and clean it and it seems to be clean pretty as it is.... but i gave it another clean anyway ...
im guessing its the lens that scratches disks ... do you think its the answer to change to new lens .....from ebay $10 from hong kong ??? but not sure on model parts for it .... there seems to be two types PVR 802 and other is SPC XXX something like that .. my slim model is SCPH750002
any hints or pointers to guide me to fix my scratch problem
regards

It has been a while since I opened up the DVD drive on my v7 Ps2, but as I recall there should be a small plastic cog inside the drive which can be rotated to adjust the height of the laser lens. Lowering it too much might cause disc read errors, so try lowering the lens in small increments until it no longer makes contact with the discs.
