Hmmm, I've got a PS2 with a lens that has bubbles and scratches in
it.

blimey, what do you do to it? set it on fire then put it out by
scraping it with a nailfile??!! ;-)

it was "broken" when I got it. The scratches I can see from somebody
previously getting in there and fooling around. Which they did. But
the bubbles they've got me stumped. If I manage to get a picture of
the lens I'll post it.

I've seen bubbled lenses from owners trying cleaning fluids, and also
from focus or tracking drive faults, which have heated up the focus
or tracking motor coils, resulting in a melted lens. It's worth
trying a lens from a different laser ( assuming that there are no
drive issues that have melted or seized the lens suspension ). I have
never cross-swapped between DVD and CD lenses, but in principle, I
don't see why there should be any fundamental difference. For any
chance of success though, note carefully what I said about making
sure that every last trace of glue is removed from the lens mount,
and the replacement lens lip, before fitting it. It is essential that
the lens is //absolutely flat// in the mount.

I don't think a CD lens would EVEN work on a DVD, or vice versa. The inner
curvature of the two is different, yes? DVD's have smaller pit size.
