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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

My experience, Well even though it got boring to read through all of that, I'd have to say it's worth it. I kind of improvised a little bit towards the end when the instructions told me to move the gear clockwise. I can now play dvd's when before I could only, and ONLY play CD's. I don't know if I can play any PS2 games because I sold all mine due to the fact I lost all hope on working my PS2. All my hopes are back on getting Starcraft: Ghost.
