i think we've both happen to have the same problem. open up your DVD rom drive, look at the bottom of the lens housing. there's a yellowish-brownish ribbon cable directly at the bottom of the lens housing (please view the dvd-rom drive upside down), if it's slightly damaged, then you've got the exact same problem as i do.

as you, my ps1 games work (loads slowly though) Audio CD's work, and AR2 loads (slowly and noisily) but DVD's don't work at all (and noisy). Oh, and i also have a V4 ps2 :P.

Now if you have the same problem, well what a coincidence! :P

Hey, after taking a closer look, the cable that nearer to the side
is a bit torn.
The part that inside the metal catch, to the receving glass.
But why is it so?
Think must get a new laser len instead.

I'm not vouching for this site in anyway, just offering it because they have the replacement cable.

I'm also not saying you weren't careful, because you probably were, but these cables are VERY easy to tear if you're not careful. When you take the cd assembly apart, don't twist the cables or anything like that.
