Thought id post this up as I just used it to fix mine.

They cover a couple of different versions of the Ps2...(not the slimline one)

It just involves opening it up ( :smash: making warrenty void:smash: ) cleaning it and re-adjusting the lazer eye to read the discs again :dance:

 

Job done ;)

 

HTH

top man will try this tonight

How'd it go?

Mine reads the discs really quick now and loads first time everytime :dance:

When you set the angle of the eye i found I had to experiment around with the angle so as it reads all the types of discs...Gold/Silver/Blue and DVD,s and even Ps1 games if you like.

 

Hope it works as well for you as it did for me :)

yep it worked on one of me ps2 perfectly but the other is stuffed

Does yours make a clicking noise???

 

If so then you need one of these:-

 

Laser Arm Ps2

 

Ive still got to fit mine...needs doing though...clicks every now and then...

apparently its the laser sliding off of the arm that guides it.

Just found this forum for the GT4 series...

Lots of bits on here too
