how fix my PS2? does the alcohol putting on cd work like Raven said? I just want to play GTA:SA SOOOO BAD!!! LOOT.
loot, here is what you need to do:
Take apart your PS2 (carefully remembering how to re-esemble afterward).
Expose the lens.
Take a cotton swab (q-tip) and soak it in isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
Swab the lense, GENTLY with it, in a circular motion, from outside to in, than out again.
Use another swab, and gently swab the lense dry.
Re-esemble the PS2. It will work.
This was a widespread problem with first-gen ps2’s. I had this problem back when I had my PS2, and fixed it this way, for the same reason as you, to play GTA:SA.
I eventually sold my PS2, after I bought a PS3….and now play SA on my PC.
