GH-13 mobo, and it's done this with 3 400B lasers. After getting the mechanical as close to 0 as possible, It recognizes the PS1 or PS2 game, but if you load it it goes right back to the browser. Occasionally the PS1 game will load. I only did the elect adjustment on the first two. Any idea...

I bought a PS2 fat 50004 model (H chassis 3.00 DVD version). I'm plannig to restore it and now the question. What laser was factory-installed there? When I opened it, there it was khs-400c. Is this factory one? And second question. The DVD drive is making "grinding sounds". I belive there is...

Hey guys, my ps2 laser / disc drive makes weird cracking sounds while reading some games, other games read fine... Is this just a dying laser or is there another problem with the disc drive like the laser touching the disc? I uploaded a video of my console reading a disc for context Another...

I got no q tips atm so i need to use something else I got isopropyl alcohol however.

Hello everyone. I recently bought a PSOne laser unit to replace the one on my psx scph9002, but this unit I bought came without the resistor of flex cable's potentiometer, so the laser unit doesn't work. I was wondering if I could put the lens of the new laser unit on the old one, and if...

Hi all, decided to come to the experts... I have a ps2 slim, SCPH77004, it has a modbo modchip, unsure of the model but runs matrix infinity v1.93. Im having an issue with disc loading, in the sense that it would take multiple tries for the ps2 to read and recognise the discs (i.e. opening and...

I recently picked up a few faulty PS3 super slim that have an issue reading discs, I've checked that the drive and the laser is not the issue by replacing the full assembly so I'm at a bit of a dead end. I've checked the ribbon cables with a multimeter to look for any breaks or cuts and have...

I couldn't find any other parts that would ship to me, and even the one i found will cost me like almost 60€. Here's the one. It says that its for the CECH-2501A model, but how much would it differentiate from my console (CECH-2504A) And if it's not compatible, then could someone please help...

Hi, this is a little guide I made about the 4xxx BD drives, due the only good info available at psdevwiki.com is currently incomplete. https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Bluray_Drive Here you will see the whole three different models and their differences, which is good, and which is bad, and some...

Anyone noticed that distributors of PS2 repair parts on Aliexpress and Ebay have been selling complete trash lately? I don't know where they're getting them from but it ain't the other stuff they sold for years before. KHS-400C lasers with awful hand soldered flex pcbs covered in flux. They've...

So my Super slim PS3 is not reading games, it can read DVDs and CDs just fine, everytime i put a disc in the consoles, it tries to read about 3 times without success before it just stops trying, just replaced the laser, still the same issue, i tried resetting the system, rebuilding system files...

how bad is it regardless of the content wether is files, photos, video, game backup or whatever i am talking about lenses in general wheter its from a game console, pc, bd player or whatever.

Greetings! I recently picked up a PS2 39001 series to hopefully play some of my PS2 games I have. Sadly either the PS2 sits on 'reading disc...' for a very long time, or I get 'Disc Read Error'. Now, I've already disassembled this PS2 to clean the laser lens, top and bottom lens. As well as...

Hi all, I'm looking for a full (or most of) NVRAM restore via ELF because there's a long story below. A friend of mine gave me a non-working PS2 V9 (50004 PAL). I opened it up and there were traces of a removed mod-chip installation. The main problem was the RTC battery and the died laser (with...

I have a V3 PAL PS2 (the one with 10 screws on the bottom), and I've been noticing that the laser has been slow reading DVD games. Regardless of the amount of scratches, it always takes 3 attempts from cold boot with the disk already inserted to auto-load (I can hear the laser clicking, trying...
