    i know someone that dropped his ps2 on the floor, the problem is is that it plays only PSX games, not PS2, what do i need to do to fix this? is this a problem with the height of the laser?
    thanks

    If your lucky its just one of the rails on the white cog that adjust that jumped up or moved,but I doubt it considering it plays psone but not ps2 and not the other way around.

    Open it up and just have a look at the cog and rail,if its not that check the wires for the chip(If he has a chip).

    It can be alot of things,what version is it?

    Yes it ccan be a dead laser,a laser has two laser diodes,no1 CD's and no2 is for DVD ,there both on the same laser lens that you see on your mechins,so yes it can be dead laser.
