Quote:there are people here that know how to do it but you will fuck your ps2 up if you don't know what you are doing... stop being cheep and pay the fee you tightwadyou know...some luck is also good. my sisters friend busted his ps2 and the drive refused to open. somehow it completely dislodged itself from the motor that pushes the tray out. so i figured id give it a shot.
so i popped it open, open the disc drive. basically completely disassembled it and then put it back together. i also had to set it in the right position because the ps2 tray pulls the disc in and when it gets to a certain point, the laser raises up to read it (unlike pc drives, which just pull the disc back on top of the laser).
Now i have never openned up a disc drive before in my life and have only limited experience of working with pc hardware (installing RAM, HDs, and CD burners), but somehow it worked. so as long as you dont touch anything that looks fragile or imprtant, i think youll be ok.
