TheMan Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 My goddamn ps2 won't work. I was wondwering if anyone knows how I can fix it. It won't play any discs, says it can;t read it, or the screen just goes blank. It's really pissing me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Sounds like its either fried, or uh, well if you get nothing its probably fried, sorry  if it acts like its loading, its probably just the drive, and the solution to that is the same   I lost my Xbox drive a while back, but since its basically a computer, it was SUPER easy and cheap to replace, I have no idea if you can replace the drive in a ps2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMan Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 Would it be more worth it to get a new one or get a new hard drive? I don't know how much it would cost to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Trust me, you're best off getting a new PS2 than fixing it. If you want to get it fixed, it will probably cost more than the system itself new. Â Or, if you are patient, wait until PS3 comes out. *OR* get a Nintendo console, because at least Nintendo puts craftsmanship in their products [/fanboyism].

TheMan Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 i'll probobly just get a new one or wait for Ps3. I already have a gamecube and the craftmanship is good. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The same thing happend to me last year and I had to buy a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick-Mac Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Same thing happened to me, I cleaned mine with a tutorial i found, just google "ps2 repair" or "ps2 disc read error". You have to take it apart somewhat It does void the warranty if you do it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Call Sony, there is a chance they will fix it for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazan Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Get something that blows air really fast, (like a vacum on reverse) and take in your garage and dust out every part of it. This happened to my cousins PS2 and it was fixed for a while. Anyway, if you try it tell me if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMan Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 ^^I've already tried dusting it. It worked a couple of times, but then it froze up. and went back to how it is now not playing anything, and making noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hey Crispy, my drive on my XBOX crapped out on me too. I can't play a thing without getting the disc reading error. What drive did you use to replace it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
