PS2 Problem

02-23-2004, 12:23 PM

Ok, the other day I got some tiny DVDs (you know gamecube disc sized) I put one into the PS2 while it was standing vertically and it fell in! Now it's stuck inside the PS2 and no games or anything will work!

Also to make it worse it's not MY PS2...it's my older bro's! He doesn't know yet, but I want to get it fixed without him finding out. (He'd go mad)

What do I do?

Sorry that was kid like of me.
Try shaking it gently,
or (which you will probably hate even more), sending it of to proper people to open it up and let them get the disc out. Under no Circumstances should you open a PS2 up

Turn it upside-down. Lightly bang the other side, the side that's completely flat. eventually, it should loosen and you can get it out. Or you could shake it.

Open the damn thing, taking the same precautions you would should you open up a computer. (Don't shock it). Only bad thing is that your 12-month warranty is violated. Also make sure you don't break anything.

I do have to ask how you expected the laser to read the disk if it was standing upright... [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

Just open the damn thing up. Me and my friend did that to his busted PS2 the other day and we managed to fix it. It's not that hard--just a lot of screws.

There's too many screws.

Macintosh. Because two buttons are entirely too complicated.

You don't have a PS2, do you?

I do, and if you read what he said, it was a mini-disk he was playing. The PS2 drive does have a small indent so mini-disks can be played, but it would only work if the PS2 was on its side. Juts think about it... (I do hope that you know how optical disk drives work)
