well I got one for free to the whole drive is broken but the board is fine..i think anyone want it?

sounds like a problem with the drive. Some games may still work. My neighbor's PS2 doesn't play the common DVD games, but it does still play CD-ROM games and PSX games.

take it apart spray out the dust with compressed air and re adjust the hight of the lense until it plays games thats what i heard on another site.

I'll take any broken PS2's. I repaired my friends which broke in the same way. It takes a LOT of time though. :/
