Hello all, I tried searching previous posts and didn't find a
solution. I have a playstation 2 (Version 4) that was getting Disk
Read Errors. I adjusted the angle of the lense and cleaned out the
case and it started working again.. but for a VERY short period of
time. So I opened the case back up and figured the angle might have
reset itself... but this time NO position would load a game. I got one
position to identify the disc and open to the menu of the game, but no
furthur.
I then attempted to clean the laser with rubbing alcohol. Then I
greased the tracks making sure not to spill oil on anything. Now when
I put a disc in, it won't even rotate the disc a 1/4 of a turn, then
stops. The laser pops up and down, but doesn't move across the track
to seek. I don't see any visible red light when I tried putting my
hand over the laser at bootup.
What are the possibilities? I'd like to narrow it down to fix it as
cheap as possible. It is a Sony laser model 400B.. the ribbon to the
laser looks a little odd but I can't tell if it is damaged. If the
ribon is bad would that cause these symptoms? Thanks!
