Playstation 2 Laser Calibration

[Linchpin]

I know this isnt amiga but ... If any of you have a PS2 that will read CD's / PS1 games but not DVD's / PS2 games let me know! I just spent 4 hours fixing this PS2 and fault finding, so if anyone wants to know how to do it,,,,, :-D

ps.. Its not that hard!

Vince - Try it upside-down. If it works - Worn laser sled path. Easy to fix with a floppy disk (old trick :-)

My Ps2 isnt modded (yet).

Its Years old.

heh

Can you hear like "tick tick tick" coming from the laser (ie the lens hitting the bottom of its tray trying to focus.

[Linchpin]

Could be the same problem - Worn sled track.

[Linchpin]

Wow! Lots of questions!

Ok, bloodline. 1st, clean the lens. If that doesnt work.. try running it upsidedown to the laser is hanging above the disk. But if you break it, not my fault :-D

If that works, its something to do with a worn laser mount / sled track.

Jump into the a.org chatroom, can answer easier in there.

@ Tomos

Your PS2 Modded ?

[Linchpin]

heh easier :-D

Try it upside-down tho

Works wonders :-D

[Linchpin]

Playing backup's kills the lens's calibration cos the focal length is different.

[Linchpin]

I dont think so ...
