Here you go Link. This article should help you. I had the same problems you are having and I used this method to gain back most of my PS2's functionality. Hope it works for you.

yep, follow jeepnut's link.

you'll clean out the system completely, and adjust the laser to the right level

Actually, forget it. Square did issue a warning PR announcement that some of their games would not work with the PS2. FF Anthologies especially, as well as the Greatest Hits version of FFT, and some others.

So it's half Square's fault, and half your laser's fault. Taking compressed air to it isn't a bad idea.

Except that my FFA was working just fine until recently. Plus, how can you explain the PS2 games and DVD problems? I'm checking out the link now. I'll show it to my stepdad...

Thanks ^_^

/me shrugs and walks away

It was worded very particularily.

"It has come to our attention that some games may experience malfunctions and/or not work on the Sony Playstation 2 Computer Entertainment System."

I don't doubt that it wouldn't work after a while.

I remember when my first PS2 stopped working. First it wouldn't read blue discs and PS1 discs. Then it stopped reading anything.

I broke down and bought a new one.

I hope mine wont stop working. I never unplug any of the cords, I never move it around, Its up on my dresser, and I dust it every week. Considering I only use it to wacth DVD's in my room when the lady friends are over, or if I want to watch a movie in my room.

Meh, it wouldnt be a big blow to me if it did satop working, I would just either buy a new one, or buy another DVD player.

I'd probably go with the DVD player.
