Who fixes PS2's?

[MurphysLaw88GT]

I have a PS2 that has a "Disc Read Error" Message when a disc is inserted. I would like it fixed. Does anybody do this on the cheep?

[hrsp]

i know theres a member who has his own store i'm sure he can hook you up>? cant remember his name

[u_say_go]

does it make a clicking or like a "whirrrrr" sound when you insert the disc? I had that problem and was able to easily fix it. if that's the case, drop me a pm and i'll let ya know what i did to fix it

wow, I'm struggling to find anything in that babble that even closely resembles a complete sentence, let alone a complete thought. Freshman english FTW :headbang

Yeah. I had to read that 39183 times to make any sense out of that. Then I realized 1 would have been enough. I can't believe that post count... Are they all that bad?

[u_say_go]

this is what I did to fix my son's....
*take case apart
*with disc tray facing away from you, remove cover from disc tray
*slide disc tray out (open)
*on the left side you'll see a small white tab that slides on a threaded screwdrive
*that assembly is attached to two silver rails, remove screws closest to you and lift rails
*gently bend white tab down
*reassemble, plug, play

i had to do this 4-5 times before I got enough pressure on that tab. that was 3 weeks ago and havent had a problem since.

Here's a step by step process. Worked on my PS2 that had the same problem.
