PS2 won't read PS1 games anymore, reads everything else fine.

[dEaF TO LiGhT]

Recently, my PS2 stopped reading PS1 games. It reads everything else fine. Every time it tries to load a PS1 game, it starts buzzing really loudly and doesn't make it to the PlayStation splash screen. I tried cleaning the lens, and it read PS1 games again, but a few hours later the problem came back. So today I tried adjusting the white cog, and I kept doing it until it finally read a PS1 game. It worked, but then about 10 minutes later when I tested it again, the same problem occured. What is the cause of this problem and how can I fix it? Thanks!

Open it up and the white thing that holds the disk put electrical tape on the side that touch the disk for better grip that fix mine

the sound its doing its the disk slipping the tape will fix it

you dont need to cover it compleatly just 2 small pices will do

what white thing are you talking about

in the dvd drive

the bit that sandwedges the disc and the cog

if it slips its makes a noise (the general loading noise it this)

putting the tape on it helps to stop it slipping

I see. But since my PS2 is open I can see if it catches or not. When I close the disc tray with a PS2 game, the white thing does catch on to the disc. I see it snap into place. Would this still be the problem?

have you only tried ps1 or have you tried cd based ps2 (blue bottom disc) if it wont read them as well, then it could be the cd side of the laser
