Tools: An jeweler's screwdriver - philips head, an anti-static cloth (like the ones that come with a PSP), and a standard philips head.
First, unplug your system (obviously). Turn it upside down and pop out the little black things that cover up the screws. There should be eight total. Put those off to the side. Now, peel off the stupid little warranty sticker. Take the top of the system off, and be careful not to crack or damage it. Take the tape holding it to the disc tray off and set that aside. Now, get your jeweler's screwdriver, and take all four of the screws around the disc tray off. Put those aside, and slowly and carefully remove the top. Older models of the large PS2 have a gray wheel near the lens, which you should be able to see immediately after removing the top. Move the wheel to the left until it clicks three times. After that, roll your anti-static cloth into a cone-like shape and wipe off the lens for about four seconds. Be careful at this point, and make sure not to de-calibrate the lens from it's spot. After cleaning it off, put it back together, and plug it in. The disc will initially take a bit to load. After it loads, reset it, and it should play like it just came out of the box.
Don't use anything but an anti-static cloth (PSP/DS screen cleaner, glasses cleaner, etc) or you will flat out destroy the thing. <3
And don't use a shirt either.
