Hi
my son has a PS2, version 4, I think, (eight screws in the bottom). It
stopped loading and sometimes freezing, getting worse over a period of
weeks. I've done all the usual stuff - cleaning, increasing the magnet
strength, adjusting the angle of the laser (turning the little white
gogwheel) until I'm cross-eyed. I'm told I can't adjust the voltage on
this model. Now it's much better - every game loads superbly, quicker
than ever, the memory card loads up and the game starts.
Only thing now is that the games freeze, especially when changing
location, or going on "missions" and the message "Error reading disc"
shows after a couple of minutes play.
I'd be grateful if anyone knows of any other fix I might try - it
feels like it's so close to working it would be a shame to give up on
it
Kind regards
John UK
