Some instructions may vary or not apply for other models. Newer models have different heatsinks and even a different chip layout on the motherboard. I am using a model SCPH-30001 Playstation 2, with a U serial number. If your PS2 can't read anything at all, cross your fingers and read on, but you may have a more serious issue than we can fix.

It's not worth voiding your warranty if you can survive without it for a week or so. The following guide shows you how to get the PS2 open, clean it out, make your adjustments, and put it back together without any hassles.īefore we begin, I'd just like to say that if your PS2 is under warranty, get this taken care of by Sony. Since it is out of warranty, there's little risk in opening it up and trying to fix it yourself before paying to send it back to Sony's repair center. If it only affects you some of the time ? you might be able to play some DVD movies, but your favorite one never loads, or you can only play PSone games and not silver-colored PS2 games ? then chances are it's not a serious error and only requires minor adjustments to your PS2.

If you're real lucky, your PS2 might last two or even three years eventually this error will hunt down your PS2 and settle down there. Ever gotten those annoying Disc Read Error messages on your Playstation 2? If you have, I'll bet the first time you saw one was on the 31st day you've had it, after the Sony 30-day warranty expired.
