SOURCE: My PS2 will not play PS2 games, but it will play PS1 games
Hi
If it will play DVD's this is a good sign. You will only need to clean the lens of the laser. Also clean the hub that the Disc rides on.
I hope your in the right posting area, this is for the Phat PS2 consoles with the drawer that comes out to put the CD in. Procedure is different for Slim PS2.
If you have trouble you can send your PS2 to the Playstation Clinic for Repair. Contact [email protected]

Hi Jstpd,
Boot up your PS2 with no disc in it. Press the Traingle and highlight the top selection. Press the triangle again and then press X then select ON and press X. This should turn on Diagnostics. Do not reboot the PS2, just put a PS2 disc in. This might get it reading PS2 discs again.
If this does work you can follow the procedure for cleaning below:

Are you receiving a disc read error? Or do they simply not load?
In either case, you will want to make sure that your laser is clean. This will require opening the console.
Just google playstation 2 repair and look for free walkthroughs...they are everywhere.
I would boil the problem down to 3 possibilites....
1. Alignment
2. Adjustment of the cd side of your laser potentiometer
3. A simple cleaning of your laser

Clean the LAsers Lens with Q-tip lightly dampened with Glass cleaner, then dry the lens. Try it see if that gets it going again.
If not your lasers lens and supporting frame is probably melting down. You will need a new laser.
Click on "repair directory" at the bottom of this screen. Then click on "Video Game consoles" Pick a good repair shop.
