PS2 Not reading discs

[absolute_relativity]

This trick works, I've done it to get DVD's to work on my ps2 and I've got a friend that bought an unused ps1 game that gave her the read error the first fucking time she tried to play it on hers, she said it worked. It gets burnt cd's to work on it as well if ya get bored. I didn't figure this out for myself, I found this in a gaming mag.... you take two strips of clear tape and lay them parallel across the top part of the disk (the part that it doesn't read just, in case you're easily confused) done correctly it will make an H with the middle bar the hole in the middle. You don't want to cover the hole, just get the tape close to it, should look like ( ||O|| ). And you're done. Basically if the disc doesn't get spinning fast enough your ps2 says next next time insert something other than Kraft Singles ©. The tape gives it more weight and that's enough to give it the rpms your ps2 needs to read it.

They also suggested the can-o-air and lense cleaners, which is not a bad idea considering you could fry your shit out if you don't blow out the dust every once in a while.
