You and the Cod3r are my favourite electronics repair guys, two very different styles but fascinating to watch and make up my weekly video watching on KZread. I'm loving the PSX series. Tear downs and fixing niche consoles or limited editions that have limited or no repair guides would be awesome to see, Atari Jaguar, Philips CDi, Commodore CD32 for example and their respective games carts if applicable and are prone to fail through use or lack of like the various Nintendo ones. Think the hard bit is waiting for parts, research etc so if you're having a crack at KZread being a regular thing again be good to see several similar bits on the go. Still gutted I got rid of my Aqua PS2 Fat 😭 Keep up the awesome work mate and hope you're doing better in yourself👍🏻

Thanks mate - means a lot! :-) I definitely want to get cracking into some different consoles - some of those listed above are of great interest to me and I'd like to get stuck into them at some point. I do have some different machines we haven't seen coming very soon :-)

All the tricks I know for PS2 and I didn't know that one lol. You da man!

Thank you so much! Fixed my disc read error for Tourist Trophy

Nice video and well explained

Glad it helped :)

Just that all my discs say the same error

I got two air duster sprayers and opened the disc tray and sprayed inside the hell out of it. Done the trick.

Didn't work. Still have disc error. But thank you

Cheers, a new laser will get you up and running which aren't too bad to get hold of and install. Best of luck getting your machine back up and running.

everything else doesn’t read but one game, and i have no idea why (the game that works being fifa 10 if that helps solve it)

Indeed, it's knackered on this console. I'll be replacing it when I next strip it down.

Ive got something similar, ps1, dvd, cd, and blue ps2 games (cd based) fire up with no issue, but the typical silver (dvd based) ps2 games really struggle to launch. Its not completely impossible, but it severely struggles

My PS2 only readers ps1 games but not PS2 games

Apparently the PS2 has two disc lasers, one for CD’s (PS1 and blue backed PS2 games) and one for DVD’s (most PS2 games). Mine has pretty much totally stopped reading PS1 discs but has little to no trouble with PS2 discs. Your DVD laser might have gotten dirty or gone bad the way my CD one probably has. Not a guarantee that’s what’s wrong but that’s what I’m gathering from the internet

Indeed, the PS2 has two diodes inside the optical pickup - one for CD, one for DVD. PS1 and blue bottom PS2 games are on CD, but most PS2 games (silver bottom) are DVD-based and this is usually the diode that gets most use and therefore fails most often. You can tweak the pots for DVD and CD on the laser itself - might be worth a go, and failing that a new laser will get it back up and running again.

Well...din't worked, stuff like this sometimes just made me Wish i din't return to play Video games.
