How to Repair a Malfunctioning Playstation 2 - console|
| (hx) 11:22 AM CET - Mar,20 2006 | 
This
guide will walk you through the process of repairing a malfunctioning
Playstation 2 or one that gives you Disc Read Errors (called "DRE" from here
on). They have tested this process on over fifty Playstation 2s now and it
completely fixed the errors on about forty of them. The most common with this
issue seemed to be model # SCPH-30001, and this guide focuses on it. Some of
these steps can be applied to other models and won't hurt them.
Typically the steps outlined here fix the following:
- "Disc Read Error" problems
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and San Andreas "DVD Read Errors" and "Loading"
errors
- Playstation 2 will stop getting stuck at the "Browser" screen.
- Skipping should stop in some games and load times may even improve.
- More DVDs and Playstation 1 games should work.
- Loud tray opening/closing could be fixed.
- The PS2 may run slighly cooler.
-Before you gather tools and begin, you might want to know what this process
entails. You'll be opening up your Playstation 2 console and cleaning various
components inside. Also you'll adjust the angle of the disc to the laser.
Finally you'll check loose connections and clean the mechanism/track for opening
and closing the tray. The whole process is very simple and assuming you have
some easily acquired tools, the first time you try this it will only take a half
hour or so.

but that was years ago when the mod chip was like, in bunches of 900 small tiny copper threads :P |
