hi guys, 1st of all this thread is pretty helpful, and after reading most of it, i found that my ps2 have some similar problems. but just to be sure i'll ask to be safe.

currently, my almost 2 year old ps2(fat) is giving headache. so far almost all new ahem games i buy no prob when loading, but recently i decided to play some older games to kill time, and found out most of it very hard to load. need to keep on reset many times only it will work. note that the dvds, although about a year old, were hardly or not scratched at all, and yet it takes multiple tries to load the game.

new games that i just bought recently 95% works at 1st attempt. and my very 1st game, ffx, the disc so old(3-4years old, this is my 2nd ps2), can load on 1st attempt. so damn weird.

anyway, the main question is, around how much do i need to fork out to fix it? i think my prob is similar to kyran's prob, but just wanna make sure anyway, must careful. thx.
