hello all.theres something wrong with my ps2.the console is switching on but lights on the button that controls the opening of the tray is not coming on and i cant open/close it.its strange cos if i press it then the console comes on but the tray wont operate and the laser wont read the disc.
also i was fixing a different wire and i moved the laser up the two silver poles and dont remember the position it was in.will this affect the reading of the discs?any help would be great,cheers,greg.

Is the console modded ?

Have you disloged the silver rails ?

what do you mean you moved it up ??

So the red / green light comes on, but the blue one doesnt, and the tray wont eject

How did u get a disc in for it to read then .....

[QUOTE=yahooadam]Is the console modded ?
no not modded but would like to know where to get it done

Have you disloged the silver rails ?
no silver rail still ok

what do you mean you moved it up ??
i moved it up and down/along the silver rails

So the red / green light comes on, but the blue one doesnt, and the tray wont eject
yeah thats it the light for the reset button comes on but the light for the eject button isnt on and wont operate it but there must be power going to it cos when i press the eject button,the console starts from stand by as it normally would but tray doesnt come out

How did u get a disc in for it to read then
i have the lid off the console so i can put the disc in

any help would be great man,cheers,greg

**yahooadam** · 08-27-2005,03:25 AM

is the laser still shining, and does the disc spin atall

i think you have blown a chip ....

Or you may have disloged a cable while fidling with your ps2 which is stopping the tray from ejecting, does it sound like its trying to eject ?

have you tried pulling the tray out and seeing if it will return ?

**greggo** · 08-30-2005,02:50 PM

no there is no sound coming out as if its trying to open.dont think i dislodged the cables either.tied to pull the tray out too.if u know anything that would help itd be great.cheers adam

Sounds like the ribbon cable to the reset/eject buttons to me...
