SOURCE: Sony PS2 SCPH-30003 No data error. PLS Help

Adjusting the white gear is usually a temp fix. If your lucky and you move it one click at a time, It'll offset to a point where it will read the discs again.

Whats happening is the drive shaft is warping. This is a very common problem in all of the ps2 units.

You have 2 options.

They sell replacement ps2 cd roms if you look around with google.

Option 2 would be purchase a new ps2. Its roughly going to cost you $80.00 US to get a replacement cd rom for the ps2. Price different for a new one would be 30 bucks or so.

Personally i'd just snag a new system. The newer one's have fixed the cd rom problem so it won't happen.

Hope this helps ya.

try changing the av channel or if you are using a scart lead try taking out the three leads red yellow and white and put them in the front or side of the tv if you have this access.

Ps2 Disc won't respond to a Ps3 when inserted.

Only the first version of the PS3 had PS2 backwards compatibility, They did make a special edition Metal Gear Solid version with it included but other than that no other PS3 will play PS2 discs... No matter what Add-On you install.

My ps2 is makeing a werd sound when reading dice

It's not able read the disc - try cleaning the disc, try another disc, etc to narrow down the problem. If it won't play any discs either the lens is dirty or an actual hardware failure in the unit.

The game cannot be read on our ps2, but the ps2 works for other games. the disk looks fine. what can we try to get this game to play?

Even if the game isn't scratched, you should try holding it under a light to see if there are any fingerprints or smudges on the disc. You can try cleaning the disc with a lint-free cloth if you've got one, though I've never had trouble with a cotton t-shirt. Wipe from the center of the disc straight towards the outer edge. Do this for the entire disc and try it again.

If that doesn't work, please update this issue with the error message you're seeing if any. Does the disc show up in the PS2 browser? Do you get a disc read error? Does the screen just go black when you try to play the game?

Ps2 slimline.... disc doesnt spin, laser not flashing or moving... no data on browser

My ps2 has/had the same problem, it wouldn't read DVD movies at all and ps1 games were always hit or miss. The only two solutions i can suggest are cleaning the lens or replacing the little cotton pad that holds the disk in place near the laser. This seemed to fix it for me, it works about 85% of the time now. Hope one of these helps
