Yes you can but the best solution is to use isopropyl alcohol (can get at any pharmacy stores) with a cotton bud. Don't rub it too hard on the lens.

all supplier playstation2 slim has already have the diode fix. no matter where you purchase. (that because they know of the lens problem burn )

what is a Diode Fix/Laser fix. or blah blah fix

I take a quote from psxtune



all ps2 slim will have a similiar diod fix pcb. (mostly is all green pcb 8 diod)

anyone know wat is the problem with my ps2...?

i can't play resident evil 4 (ahem version) for some reason...
everything's fine until i pressed start game... go to loading screen...
and stuck there...

changed different disc and different label (u know.. ahem stuff)
and still cant play... but the ps2 at the shop can play it...

i guess it's bcoz my ps2 cant read the disc...

if its my ps2 lens prob, then y other games can run smoothly... and no problems...

----------
the same thing happen when i play ff10 recently. everytime when i go to fight dark valefor.. then it stuck at the broken screen...

but i can still beat the game (ff10) and do other stuff... weird, huh?
last time i play also no this type of problem...

i guess it's the disc prob.. maybe scratched or something like that...

I have a minor problem with my ps2, I noticed that the volume output is no longer as loud as it used to be. Meaning I have to turn up the TV set volume much higher than usual lately...is this a sign of problem surfacing?
It could my mind (or ears) playing tricks on mind since I only noticed it recently with my new games and didn't go back to testing my older games to see if the volume output is the same.
This is the only annoyance so far as the games seems to run just fine.

Should I clean my lens? My unit is the old "fat version" bought sometime ago back in 2001. Any help is appreciated, cheers guys!

i try to play ps1 game onto my ps2
but ps2 cannot read la
it say please insert ps1 or ps2 format game or
sometin like tat
by the way my ps2 is ntsc/j and the ps1 cd is ntsc u/c

i got problem with my ps2..they always said 'plz insert formated ps cd'.and i decided to do some tuning.after referring some website and everything,the ask me to adjust it at 'white gear'..

but the problem is i cannot find any 'white gear' at my machine?..puas sudah ku mencari..but still cannot find..

btw..my maching problem is..

1)everytime i insert ps2 cd..they take time to read then msg 'disk error' will appear in browser
2)already try to put song cd.still same problem happend.
3)already clean it using dvd lens cleaner , same problem happend
4)cannot find 'white gear' in my console..(it this mean i already kena tipu with tokey kedai ??....[my machine:ntsc/uc&3xxxxx]

A: Symptom of a dying lens/laer.


A: 70%-80% your lens is dead


A: 100% sure your lens gone.

Can't find white gear??. Have you open up your machine. There is a guide here and please do a search for it.

hm.. this is a wierd one indeed. just resident evil 4 can't play ? others seems ok ? there is one case that one modchip will not boot this game "Resident Evil Code Veronica"

maybe you need to change modchip ? or just some lens tuning perhaps.

i had already check at here :

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=180428

and some at other forum :

http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/ps2.ars/


still cannot find this thing..




peninglah....camner ek??..

soo worried...

Optimus, what is the model of your PS2. If you have 5k series, there will be 2 white wheels on the right and left side.

yes, all other games ok.
my ps2 can boot the game... but stuck at the loading screen when starting a new game.

heh, im not gonna change modchip or lens tuning (not gud at these stuff).
takut tak pasal pasal the whole ps2 got problem later...

have to give up playing this game i think...

Thank then!

Ok my DVD player just burned out a few weeks ago. So i decide to play DVD on my PS2. I remembred the shop keeper teling me i must hold the power button when starting or something. Somewhow i got it into VD moed and able to play some DVDs. So yesterday i tried to play back a PS2 game and they have the Error of "please insert a ps2 format blah blah screen"

Movie DVD still works fine. Any idea how to return to the "game" mode after viewing your DVD ? i remember long time ago the shopkeeper said must do something one like press the power button 2x or something like that lo. But seems i forgoten cause i never really use it for DVD movie viewing.

BTW im using Messiah chip.

what the heck is dead beef sydrome?
i heard its one of negative aspect that only remain in PsTwo Slim only....

but rumours said nowadays, more reliable modchips (2 i/c) has been installed in the console as to encounter this dead beef sydrome...

in other words... PsTwo Slim is now much better than the fat ones because there's no users encounter disk read error just like we already face in SCPH 39001 and 5series. hey is this rumours true? biar betol....

i bet it is true kot? top-loading feed kan? much better than tray-loading feed.....

so which kedai can provide me a durable and reliable PsTwo Slim?
I want to trade in my SCPH 5series, (console only~~!) .
I dont want to mess my room with plenty of game consoles....
takde ruang dah ne......
