Well if you have tried everything my suggestion would be to get a replacement/ Where did you buy that PS2?

 

[zp041495]

I bought it at an auction, so I cant get a replacement.

How much did you pay?

You can also contact Sony and see if there are any troubleshooting methods to fix the issue....

Should I call or send a service request?

 

[OvrClkr]

Call them first and talk to a rep.

I never had any luch with the ps2. When I got the original it wouldn't play any dvd's besides anime for some reason, and wouldn't play ps1 or blue ps2 disks. When I got the slim, after a little over a year it became choosey about which ps2 games it would play, and didn't want to play any dvd's. I find them to be relatively untrustworthy systems.

In my experience I learned that a lot of problems with the slims stem from the lens being scratched or damaged. maybe you should have someone look at that, if they know what their doing anyway.

Well I guess you guys got a bad unit, I have the first gen PS2 and the PS2 slim and they both work fine. As a matter of fact I have the slim on sale, JUST FYI....

Hey zp, how much did yon pay for yours?

I got it at an auction for $40. I had a Phat PS2 until I got mad cuz I kept losing and ummmmmmm... nevermind. It worked perfectly!!!! I think I might buy a new eye for it from one of the sites below:
PS2 Parts
ConsoleShop

yea well for 40 bucks you can't complain.... not sure if changing the "eye" will workout for you, I have never had a Playstation not function correctly.....good luck on that =)
