The discs won't spin in my old PS2 slimline, like sometimes they do sometimes they won't and sometimes it just stops spinning during a game. Any ideas on how to fix it or what the problem is

Thanks

Try taking a dry cloth and cleaning the dust in your PS2,Or try using a Lens Cleaner Cd.

That happened to my PS2 once.. except I still had the warranty from the store. Do you still have yours?

If not, try calling Sony's phone hotline or whatever.

I'd try calling the hotline whenever they're open then.

No prob. My ps2 had a disc read error that was apparently quite common in slim PS2's.

If you really wanna fix it.. try this site..

could u gimme a hand here? i hav resident evil 4 on the ps2, n mine is a slim model, and when i insert the game, it opens the menu, but then it freezes on load time to actual gameplay, but i tried on a bud's ps2 (big one) and it worked fine... the disk is kinda scratched up, but it works on my bud's thick, could this be cuz the slim model is + sensitive to scratched in the disk?
