Dont know if its the right forum to post this in.
Found my old playstation 2 along with some other childhood gems yesterday.I Tried to play the ps2 games on the ps2,but "disk read error" popped up. I also tried a playstation one game and it seemed to work for some odd reason.Also I tried a near-perfect condition dvd movie (star wars new hope) and it ALSO worked. Of course it being super dusty I raided it with the compressed air duster and tried to open it up to get to the insides,but I did not have the right screwdriver so I blasted the fan vent a little to loosen up some dust.
(I used ps2 games that were in the best condition possible with some minor surface scratches.)
So I bought a cd/DVD lens cleaner disk at the local Walmart and then popped it right into the play station 2,to my avail it had a "read error"(wth).It was supposed to do audio tests and run a cleaning cycle for ten minutes ,but I could not get to that due to the read error.
Now I know some solid state lasers on old consoles are dying ,but this is like 10-11 years old not sure if it
Can someone help me?
EDIT: Also threw in an empty DVD-r with no data on it, still not working.
