Hello everyone, I'm new here. Was looking for a solution to my PS2 problem when my friend suggest that I post my issue here.

My PS2 is the slim version, about 4-5 years old. It doesn't have any problem before this but until last month.

a) My friend was playing FFX International version when the game suddenly stuck just before the CG scene (the scene after you beat Sanctuary Keeper before entering Zanarkand). Map's gone, can't open menu, can't talk to other characters, can't do anything except walking around. I thought it was the disc problem so I bought another new disc, same version and it solved the problem. However, few days later, same problem occured again and this time at another CG scene (the airship scene after beating Yunalesca).

b) When I load Persona 3 FES the first time, I can watch the opening movie but after that, the console no longer load it... the screen goes blank. I have to press X multiple times to go into the main menu.

c) It plays Persona 4 smoothly for few days, then suddenly cannot load the disc at all. No disc error/red screen appeared though.

I tried to load DVD/CD disc and it worked, so I think it might not be the lens problem? Anyone know what's wrong with it? I'm thinking to bring it to the shop for diagnose...

You guys mean there have been cases related to P4?
