Very cool video! I'm all up for more PS2 content! I have just bought a PS2 off eBay with a broken disc drive. I will try cleaning to see if it does help but I might not bother replacing it if it ends up not working.
It's a SCPH-30001 just like the one in your video. If a thorough cleaning don't bring the laser back, I'll just leave it be. I have assembled Jeff Chen's easyHDD and I'll use it with Grimdoomer's exFAT version of OPL!
I just bought a PS2 FAT with a unknown modchip with a seller who said that the lens wasnt running games, but after figuring out how to disable the modchip, i checked a list to see if it had any specific method to run games which apparently was common in the first modchips, with that I found out that to read the games I have to put the game in the drawer, press the reset until it turns off and then tapping reset once and then it runs the game in just couple seconds. But unfortunetily i cant open the dvd drive to clean the lens and check the rubber because of a stripped screw lol.
@joojdobixo aw man, so you can't repair or clean due to a darn screw? Maybe there are methods to removing a stripped screw so you can open it and take a look inside.
@Tommie-mp1jl Depends on the issue. If it's really scratched up, I would seek a service or location that sells used games and DVDs. Typically they have a CD/DVD buffer machine.

You may not have to! What type of PS2 is it? My next video will cover some easy to do mods!

@jonathanmichaud6800 That's exactly what I had in mind. Great minds my friend, great minds.

The reader disc came play
@@Tommie-mp1jl If I understand correctly, does your DVD drive no longer work?
Can you fix a PlayStation 2 video game?
