Thanks so much bro , me and my cousin been wanting to play our ps2 , when we were little it stopped working but we didn’t have TH-cam nor the knowledge to fix it , we found it again today and did this to fix it and it worked!
You have got to be kidding my g! This simple method worked ! I bought a PS2 scar face and 50 cent bulletproof play for the memories and the console was dead!! You a real g !
Thanks, my good man! I have 2 PS2, and the reason I bought a sencond unit was because the first one was not working, after a few years later, the second one also stop working. Shooting two cans with one bullet!
My problem actually was the front sensory, so I broke a piece of my ps2 for nothing, all I had to do was put a couple of tiny squares of tape on the tab that goes into the front sensor. Thanks for the insight on the sensors though.
Thank you so much! I'm not handy at all and was able to do it. Bought a ps2 lot and the ps2 had this problem and was about to sell it for parts! LIFE SAVER
I have model 9001 so my internals look way different. My circuit board is on top and I can’t see yours at all. What sensor is that so I can try the duck tape method?
I have a SCPH 90001 and I just installed a brand new laser and spindle motor and it still won't spin the damn disc! The laser goes down and fires red but the disc won't spin.
I would suggest at this point to make sure you fully took off the anti static ball on the side of the new laser. If so and it still doesn't work then you may just need to try another new laser. Sometimes that is the case.
@@guidezoid1646 I desoldered the laser. I ordered a new laser ribbon flex cable since I read online that a guy had a similar situation with no spin after a brand new motor and laser and he said replacing the ribbon fixed it for him.
Yeah I gotchya, but I fixed many ps2 slims and sometimes the lasers still don't spin the disc even if it light up red. It could just be a defect in that particular laser. They are all cheaply made in China. You should at least try another new laser before giving up on it.
Would you say mine is the sensor it worked fine when I first got it then didn’t play for awhile and my disc won’t spin at all now I tried most of the methods on TH-cam.
Now idk if u still answer questions for this but for me my ps2 slim recently only stops spinning the disc after a second, then at a constant stop and spin. Does it still work? I only ask because my ps2 slim doesnt say no data
For anyone wondering since most people have no clue, a lot of ps2 slims don’t have the back sensor so if your like me and have been looking for one for the past 2 days don’t waste your time
mine have trouble that said ' read disk ' for 2 sec or 3 and that's it no data and the laser don't move at all i try a method with the back sensor and behind but the disk don't spin i open the console , clean the lens , remove the laser adjust the 2 crew behind one for dvd another for cd but nothing happen again .....
Mine spins (make some weird noises sometimes), but it's not working. It's no longer recognizing the original PS2 memory card tgat came with it.What can I do?
same. I think you might have to replace the entire power button itself, it might be the sensor that went out. the front sensor for me keeps turning off my console when i click it. Idk why
Hellos my ps2 slim reads other discs fine even thw badly scratched one but when I put this brand new game with no scratches completely flawless it doesnt load it what would you suggest
My memory cards didn't work either after trying to use my PS2 Slim line that I had stored in my closet for years but I just took a Q-Tip and wet it with 90% rubbing alcohol, then I used it to clean the contacts on the memory cards and the contacts on the PS2 also (unplug power from PS2 first) Then I pushed the memory card in and out a few times and It worked perfectly! The alcohol evaporates easily. Just do not drench the Q-Tip too much. You will see the dirt on the Q-Tip after cleaning. Just make sure you allow the alcohol to fully evaporate before powering up again. Five minutes to be safe. IT WORKS! USB ports as well. And ethernet contacts.
@@guidezoid1646 thx bro i didnt get my slim working cause i dropped it but luckly i got a ps3 thats comparable with these games 💪🇨🇦 i got it spinning so your thing did work but it wont read i broke somthing elce i think but i made head way ima take it a part
I wasn't so 😒lucky🤷♂️ it's probably some other issue, that I am having wrong with my silver slim ps2 Console, & the disc wasn't trunning after I tried this method did the exact same thing mine's been already down for 3 days, it's probably some other 🎮technical👨💻 issue that I am have with my PS2 slim console. But U are right sometimes this does help✌️...
@@guidezoid1646 I was able to fix it , think some stuff was just dirty in the ribbon cable, at first I only pressed the sensor in the back but when I pressed both it made a noise but dint go through , after I cleaned it started spinning
Hi, may I know what is the proper safe way to change another game disc without worrying to damage the laser head❓ Is it correct that I press Reset button first then press Eject to exchange a game disc❓
It sounds like it is the laser. I have a video on how to change the laser here th-cam.com/video/4ssc2iA6R2s/w-d-xo.html It also has links in the description for what you will need to change it.
So, I put mine together and for some reason the top half didn't seem to fully fit back down onto the bottom half--it looks lined up, and when I press down it stays but when I let go it's just a little bit separated. Is that normal? Is that why it was having the issue in the first place?
If this doesn't make it work it is either that you need to put in a new laser (have a video on how to do) or you just need to replace the spindle (the piece with the ribbon tape that turns the disc)
Worked like a charm! The unit I have has been broken for over a year until I did this. Thankyou very much!
Nice glad it worked
You're a god, I don't even know how long my ps2 was in the basement but I did this and it worked wondefully
Cool glad it worked
You are great man after I fix it I showed my son he broken it😭😭😭
So can I fix that
Thank you in advance

Thank you brotha, I was ready to sell 2 of my ps2 slims for parts!
Cool, glad it worked for ya
Life saver!!! worked like magic!! just played persona 4 after 5 years of having the ps2 on the closet! thanks dude

Omfg !!! That was so simple and easy thanks bro !!!!!!!!!! You earned a new sub !
Thank you SO MUCH I thought my childhood Ps2 was done for, thankfully it's such an easy fix!
Imma tried this tomorrow mine only read the blue disc but not the dvd ones thanks dude man tape does fixes everything
My laser is moving but not the disc after I taped everything
Same

If you trued the method in this video and it still doesn't spin, it could be that you need to replace the spindle.
Any tips on one that starts and stops? I opened mine and held down those 2 points and starts up slows to stop and starts up again then stops.
It's probably the laser, you will likely need a new one.
So I did this, but the disk still wasn't spinning... what could the issue be? Just a dead motor?
yea mine still won’t spin. the sensor starts to read it now which is GOOD but still no spinning.
It means that you may need a new laser or spindle. I have another video on how to change the laser

@@guidezoid1646 yeah i did your advice on the video and it works good. I should've specified that it does it with a blue disc and that was my problem

My ps2 read a big hole discs not read the small hole discs if you understand to me because im not good at english
mine have trouble
that said ' read disk ' for 2 sec or 3 and that's it no data

i open the console , clean the lens , remove the laser adjust the 2 crew behind one for dvd another for cd but nothing happen again

I wonder what it is with mine, the disc still isn't spinning, which is weird.
You may need a new laser. I have another video on how to replace the laser.
Bro my ps2 is not reading any disc and not spinning the disc, what to do bro please 🙏 tell me.
And that might not be the issue for long term it's better to replace the ribbon and laser for a really long term fix
I opened both my slim ps2. There is no reset button likes yours. What now?
Mine spins (make some weird noises sometimes), but it's not working. It's no longer recognizing the original PS2 memory card tgat came with it.What can I do?

I did it some days ago and it did work but now it doesnt work. What do I do???
What are you supposed to do when your memory card says this but you have data in it
You may want to check if any of the little prongs in the memory card slot are bent. It would stop the memory card from being read.
My memory cards didn't work either after trying to use my PS2 Slim line that I had stored in my closet for years but I just took a Q-Tip and wet it with 90% rubbing alcohol, then I used it to clean the contacts on the memory cards and the contacts on the PS2 also (unplug power from PS2 first) Then I pushed the memory card in and out a few times and It worked perfectly!

I bet you dont hear enough but..I love you lol (it worked for me, this time at least)
When i press the 2 buttons to make it spin it doesn't please help.
It may mean that you need a new laser.
I will be making a video pretty soon on how to replace the laser.

I bought a New Sealed Ps2 in november and it randomly stopped spinning discs today. I'll open her up and see if this works.
Can anyone please reply? What if I’m having a hard time removing the top after the screws are off? It’s like it’s stuck on something?
Hi. You should probably just start with the corners and works your way around the sides. They could be pretty hard to open sometimes
is this work for scph 90004?
I will try this so my dad's ps2 will work again because it was so full of dust
My dvds dont spin, only my ps2 disk
Can it run Dvd disc?
Yes it can
@@guidezoid1646 but first tried official ps2 game disc it working but Dvd disc doesnt work why?pirated game doesnt work

My ps2 read gta but nba 2k not reading, what should i do?
Ok I am going to try it and will let you know. Ty....did not work for me. Great video just the same.

sadly didnt fix it for me..
What exactly is it doing when you try to play a game? Because if this didn't work it could just be it needs a new laser
@@guidezoid1646 Disc wont spin at all. PS2 powers up just fine and seems normal otherwise.
