Hi, whenever i turn my ps2 on it makes a loud clicking noise. I opened it up and started it. I can see that the laser is almost vibrating as if stuck but can also move down, just not up. It seems very strange and was wondering if anybody knew a fix ?

**RoBz** · 10-07-2007, 08:17 AM

Does it still play games properly?

eldiablov · 10-07-2007, 08:19 AM

I very much doubt it, considering the laser wont move properly. Actually it doesnt move down either. just a tiny bit up.

**RoBz** · 10-07-2007, 08:23 AM

Oh, I have a similar problem I spent a while trying to fix it but I just ended up giving up and leaving it to collect dust.

eldiablov · 10-07-2007, 08:24 AM

yeah, i'd like a fix

**Trigun** · 10-07-2007, 09:23 AM

mine does this, games still work but i think it's just because it's really old.

eldiablov · 10-07-2007, 09:43 AM

Ok, i fixed that problem, now when i put a ps2 disc in it says reading disc for half a second and then stops. the disc only turns an eighth of the way round. Whats wrong ?

it may be the game cuz i've had that happen a few times. but if it isn't your disc drive maybe dying.

You probably just need to calibrate your lens so it outputs more voltage. I did this on a gamecube and it worked fine. There is a risk though, you can burn out your lens but you should be fine if you don't overkill.

I had this problem when I had a Silver Slim version PS2 I started using Swap Magic and then my lens got all messed up and started clicking. It would read games but after I took the game out and looked at the DVD it would be all scratched up in full circular rings!!! They were so bad they would never play again.
