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

    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.

    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
    EEEEEEWWWWW... girls gots cooties
