It might be your lazer's eye. Have you tried a Q-tip and Alcohol?

seems better but still not ok.

Hi, Your problem is common, please try using PS1 disc first.
If your PS2 can read PS1 disc but not PS2. Then probably you have a weak lazer. Since you have done lens cleaning white cog adjustment and pots adjustment.

Please also measure your PS2 lens coil resistance, typically its about 4-5 ohms.

If your PS2 can't read both PS1 and PS2 game disc, then probably a bad lens or LA driver.

where is the coil placed on board?

shouldn't be fried coils or LA on an unmodded, I think the "bad/scratched media" idea wasn't it... it was all modchips crash the controller... probably bad/dirty laser, might want to adjust pots if necessary
