My PS2 is having a hard time reading discs. In the browser the message "reading disc" pops up but then after a second or two it disappears. Anyone know how to fix it?

I don't get why people who are having hardware problems come on a website to get help instead of actually contacting the hardware maker who can actually help them (WOW what a concept)!

Maybe because someone here might know how to fix it without having to call a bunch of overpaid R-Tards?

Go buy a DVD lens cleaner, it helped my PS2. I bought mine for 10 bucks at Fry's, but also heard that EB and Gamestop sells something similiar for $5.

I had the same problem recently. Put your PS2 verticaly. It worked for me and my friends. I know it sounds stupid but it works. Try it!

Yeah he would want to by a $600 console when he can get it repaired or just get a new one for less than $150.

My friend started to have this problem with his PS2. We used this article and fixed it and it works better than ever:
