erm, i'm usually just push the eject button and hit it back (the tray goes back) , then i "kick" the power button, finally the power switch at the back. (not slim version)

sekebedragon, it can be fix by changing the new dvd drive for ps2, or a gear inside? try send to shop, Djinn might know..

ps2 slim got driver? you mean? of course it has their own type dvd driver, just not with the tray? lol..
haiya, been saying many times about this, ps2 fat got hdd, but you need to buy it. it's separate device.
