    Buy a new one. That's the only thing that worked for me. Are you getting something called a Disc Read Error? If so, you're screwed.

    Post ehh...

    just buy a new one. it'll probably cost more than it's worth to repair.
    If you do, get one of the new slim ones!

    Thanks to Sagensyg for the sig!

    My new slim one has started playing up as well. But in a different way. The screen is fragmented and green dots appear randopmly. Doesn't matter what wire, what TV it's plugged into, it's still the same. I'm going to call Sony, one it's registered. I've only had it... 1 month before this problem started.

    Jeebus, the new PS2s are breaking as well? Already?

    To be honest, I've heard of this problem a lot. I count myself extremely lucky that I haven't experienced it. From what I've heard, your best solution is to replace your PS2; I'm given to understand that if you call Sony about it, they'll basically say "Gee, it must suck to be you."

    I really don't get why the PS2 is so crappily built. It's got some good games, and I'd like to know that in 15 years I can still load it up and play games, like I can with my NES and Master System. Granted, the PS2 is probably a bit more fragile than both those systems, but even counting current systems, the only two systems I've ever heard of randomly breaking down are the Dreamcast and PS2.

    And in another thread, Xbox and your computer.

    Well, computers aren't dedicated gaming consoles so I didn't really count that, I do hate it when they randomly break on me though.

    Haven't heard of the X-Box doing it though - what happened with it?

    ive had this probablem before. I called Sony and they gave me a new one for only £60 . they gave me some tips for it not breaking and it is workin so far ive had my second PS2 for 2 years while the other one only lasted for 1 year. First of all put your PS2 upwards. Use a cleaning disc once every 2 weeks. Instead of turning it off from the main power switch at the back restart it first then click the switch off. Im not sure if these methods are true or not but its doing something to my PS2. If your PS2 already broke then get a new one mate.These methods try to prevent your PS2 going bad.Oh yea if a game is really bad then use diagnosis

    Blue ps2 games are on CDs, like ps1 games. So if you can't play ps1 games, you'd better not buy blue ps2 games !

    myself and at least 10 friends got blue disk disease as well, in most cases either you can only play blue disks or can't play any blue disks. sometimes if you tilt your ps2 so it stands on end it will read the disk, but for all the trouble its worth i advise you just go get an xbox
