DIY playstation 2 repair

In detail: do-it-yourself playstation 2 repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Maybe someone has come across such a defect, the set-top box reads CDs, but does not read DVDs, or rather: it reads DVDs but only for 5 minutes, and then the lens starts to jump, and the laser head moves (Cannot focus), I take out the DVD and insert the CD ( Game, Audio) works all the time, this defect manifests itself only when reading DVD discs, then turn it off, let it cool for about 20 minutes, then reads a DVD for about a minute and then stops again, but a regular CD reads without problems, without problems.

The laser was cleaned, blown out, disassembled, assembled, the same thing, maybe someone can advise something.

I can't understand what's the matter, as if something is heating up.

laser grunted

already met a dozen of such devices
repair is unprofitable

if there is no such attachment on disassembly

So the head is all the same? But why then does she behave like that, she works for a minute or three, reads a DVD, and then once and that's all, and reads a regular CD. Let it cool down for about 20 minutes, and again reads the DVD, for a minute, so I thought that maybe this is not a head, what do you recommend?

overheating of the matrix, however

look at la chip
there should be thermal paste

and what kind of thermal paste ??
to cool the matrix?
you can link more specifically

Help who can.
PS2 reads the SD well, but does not read DVDs at all, the laser was cleaning, the current on the DVD was regulated from mines. to max., the height of the head was adjusted on the slide and on the drive itself, the result is the same. Help, plz, who can, who can - help.

101st time I repeat - you need to change your head
dead matrix

Boom change your head

PS2 SCHP-50008 set-top box.
The problem is this.
I bought a new HDD. I bought a Network Adapter. I connected it, inserted it into Sonya, it hummed immediately and died down. I pulled it out, connected it to a USB-2-IDE cable, connected it to a PC - silence, and the cable's power supply suddenly became wildly hot. I took the HDD back to the store, it was stuck in a test bench, and smoke went off. Short circuit on nutrition.
Sonya herself works, loads disks, no problems. The Network Adapter also survived - I checked it on another Sonya with a friend. But she never saw the HDD anymore.
They refused to repair it, they did not even disassemble it, they say that if it is on, the whole processor of the HDD controller is on, and that I was lucky that the set-top box itself is working.
Maybe someone will give good advice, or even better - tell an intelligent master?
The place of events is Petersburg.

So, after turning on the computer / laptop, we have the inscription "BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart". Typically, this error occurs after experimenting with hard disk partitions. The solution to the problem will be considered on the example of Windows 7. To eliminate this error, you must insert the disc with your operating system and boot from it. Next, select the language and other parameters, click ...

The solution to the question of what to do if PS2 does not read discs can be divided into two parts:

Check out the discs themselves first - these are Sony's favorite activities.
The second is to check the Playstation mechanisms themselves, this is for those who are not afraid to take risks and know how to hold a screwdriver in their hands, although science, frankly, is elementary.

These suggestions, in principle, are correct: why shoot sparrows from cannons, what to get into mechanics, if everything is much simpler, you are using just unusable discs.

We check the condition of the disc itself - it should be free of greasy spots and no visible scratches. If there are any scratches, then we will check the disc on another console, just in case, but, in general, it is better to throw it away immediately. If there are no scratches, wipe the entire surface of the disc with special CD / DVD napkins and try to read the disc again.
If the disc cannot be read, we try to replace it with another (third, fourth), guaranteed to be tested on another Sony PlayStation console. If everything is in order with those, then you need to "throw away" the disc, the problem is in it.

You can try to read the disc on another console, if there are disagreements, then the fate of the disc is a foregone conclusion - as Billy said in "Treasure Island", he will end badly. If the disc is readable on another console, then there is a reason to make plans to repair your PS2.

If all these manipulations with disks did not work, then, according to Sonya, there is nothing to do, you need to carry the product to the service center. Perhaps this is correct. In any case, keep in mind that Sony does not officially supply spare parts for its consoles and that everything you find on the market is "Chinese" or taken from other consoles.

The reason for the lack of console response after the disc has been inserted into the drive may be that it simply does not spin. To clarify this situation:

We carry out a visual inspection of the attachment drive - and there can be no question of any foreign objects, dust or hair.

Examine the train - no fractures or cracks, although, given its flexibility, it is not clear how they might appear

We control the rotation of the disk not only horizontally, but also vertically - due to displacements in the rotation of the disk, the quality of information reading by the laser decreases dramatically, it begins to change the focus of the lens too often and inaccurately

Do not rush, however, with far-reaching conclusions about replacing the engine and laser, perhaps you have replaced the chip on the console and you just need to reboot it. But really often the cardinal solution to problems is to replace the engine and laser.

If a decision is made to replace the engine and there is a "Chinese" new applicant, then we do this:

Unscrew the 6 screws securing the back cover. Five of them are under the feet and one under the identification sticker.
We remove the cover - very carefully, it is still held on to the latches on both sides, from the side of the connectors and to the right (the connectors are away from you). Here it will be important not to rush to get a feel for the nature of the lid fixing.
We check the rotation of the disk by holding the sensor contacts - they are located diagonally, along the edges of the structure.
We take out the engine cable.
We unscrew the three screws of its fastening (pay attention, the fourth is "not about us", it fixes the control board and the engine).
We install the new engine in place. We tighten the screws.
We insert the train very carefully. You may have to "suffer" with the length of the train, which means that you need to slightly collect it in an accordion and fix it (with scotch tape is best).
Reinstall the cover - very carefully again with latches and connectors.
We tighten 6 screws.
Engine replaced.

Laser change consists in performing the following operations:

Remove the cover again.
We unscrew the screw fixing the worm gear foot.
Unscrew the two screws securing the structure of the laser guide rod.
We remove the guide rod, lubricate it if necessary.
Disconnect the ribbon cable from the laser head.
We install a new laser in place.
We assemble the structure to the cover, in the reverse order.
But now it is very important, which many people forget. For everything to work, you need to unsolder the jumpers that protect the laser from static electricity while working with it during installation ("protection from stray hands"). The jumpers are easily accessible, but they are located in an inconspicuous place - on the side, from the side of the main control board of the product, closer to the ribbon cable.
When the jumpers are unsoldered, you can complete the assembly and start checking the replacement.

All these operations are not so much important as they are useful, so as not to forget where you have screwdrivers and a soldering iron at home. But we always keep in mind that with a lack of time and skills, it is always better to contact service centers with such repairs.

If you encounter one of these problems, call our service center. We will repair your Sony Play Station 2.Problems with a DVD drive are leading the breakdown charts. The drive mechanism has its own service life, which depends on the intensity of use of the attachment.Mechanical damage, the use of low-quality disks - whatever disables the drive, we will solve the problem by replacing the reading head or the entire drive.The appearance of problems with the image, as a rule, is associated with an incorrect connection of the set-top box to the TV, malfunctioning cords or connectors. Troubleshooting in these cases takes a minimum of time.

However, if the console is seriously damaged, the electronic components (GPU or motherboard) need to be repaired or replaced. All these works are successfully carried out in our service center.The next common nuisance is the failure of the power supply, in which case the console simply stops turning on.Thunderstorms, swollen capacitors, power outages or liquid ingress are the main causes of a power supply failure, while the console itself remains functional. We will repair both the internal and the external power supply (depending on the model). If repair is impossible, we will select a replacement.Worse, when the console starts flashing alternately red or green "Power" indicator, without turning on at the same time. This is where the need to repair the PS2 itself arises.The console started to freeze? Some of the reasons are:

The console freezing during prolonged use may be caused by overheating. Look carefully at the location, move away from heaters, ensure maximum ventilation.

Overheating is also possible due to the ingress of dust, various small particles. A preventive cleaning of the console can help you avoid these troubles.

Freezing the console can also cause problems with the hard drive. In this case, its replacement is required.

The hang may be caused by a failed firmware update.

PlayStation 3 CECH-4208C, 500 GBI made my own fatty. She buzzed and disks, as it were, but did not load.Poshol bought a set of screwdrivers, unwound it. When I was taking off the disk drive, I barely took it off, there were such small screws — I had to grind the smallest screwdriver to get it into the screw holes.I took out the DVD-disc, then I took out the tray of the set-top box - and I can see the drive in all its glory.In general, the buzzing was because the drive — with a threaded bolt that moves the laser head — could not move it correctly — because the head thread was bypassed — as a result, it buzzed more, trying to move the laser head to the desired track of the DVD disc.
In general, I squeezed the leg and worked it out a little by hand — and it began to work normally.
Began reading CDs because of this.
With the help of the Swap Magic of the CD version, I was able to install FreeMcBoot on the card.I was very careful — and leaned or constantly turned off the attachment with the button — so that the laser would not hit my eyes. By the way, it is so interesting to watch how the laser in the form of a dot moves and reads the desired track.What is most interesting is that in Swap Magic discs — the head first goes to the beginning of the disc — apparently determines the license, and then goes to the very edge of the disc — apparently so that there is a maximum TOC.
And then, as Swap Magic is loaded, the disk stops and you can make a substitution.But she either identified DVD disks or wrote - Disk Read Error. The game, licensed by GTA San Andreas, was sometimes launched by PS2, but with brakes (it took a very long time to load and the sound was interrupted). Swap Magic did not read DVD,I thought to myself, I need to read DVD-disks, but how will I put Linux if all Linux are on DVD.In general, how did I set up reading DVD-Disks?Sonya has two white gears in the back of the drive, which can be scrolled around the axis, and if you scroll them, the rear of the drive rises.Scrolled first one, sequentially twisting and checking for DVD reading, and then the second.
And what was my surprise when the prefix began to read DVD normally.
In general, apparently there was a defocusing of the laser with the tracks of the DVD disc. In general, thank God I set everything up.The only thing is that the tray comes out, then no — well, it gets stuck. I took off the front part of the tray - so that it was possible to unlock the tray with the help of the Slide Tool on occasion, although in principle, I put the Flip Top cover on my fatty - so I can replace the disks - just by opening the cover from the top of the console.I assembled a set-top box with a Flip top Cover, inserted a hard disk and a Network Adapter.By the way, I bought 4 new memory cards in the net on a cheap basis - so that's enough for both Freebut and Linux Kit.I tried to throw the game on the internal disk - in general, a 4 gig game is thrown from a DVD-disk for about half an hour (640-800 kilobytes per second), and if the same game is thrown over the network, then a whole hour is a bit long. And you don't want to remove the hard disk from the set-top box, so as not to damage the network adapter.

I started playing the game God of War 2 completely in Russian with Russian voice acting — the game is super — why haven't I played it before?

The game console does not read discs, the console does not load discs, the disc in the game console does not rotate - these are perhaps the most common answers of the owners to the question of the master or the receiver "what are you complaining about?"

There are many reasons why the game console will not load discs. One of the reasons is the failure of the laser head. One of the most common defects that one had to deal with when repairing Sony Playstation2 slim game consoles is a fused optical lens (see photo # 1 - a normal lens, photo # 2 - a laser head with a lens defect.) The lens is made of organic glass.

The appearance of the defect can be explained by overheating of the focusing and tracking coils due to the flow of the maximum permissible current in them. This can occur when using low-quality CDs, discs with scratches and other damage to the working surface, discs originally recorded on cheap “blank” discs with a weak reflective surface.

The servo system of the laser head, initially when reading data from a CD, is turned on at full power (maximum laser diode current), then evaluating the quality of the working surface of the disk, it reduces the power to the level necessary for the normal functioning of the servo system.Accordingly, when using defective discs, the servo system of the game console always works at maximum, as a result, the maximum permissible currents flow through the focusing and tracking coils, causing them to heat up. Not infrequently, when using low-quality discs, the game console “freezes”, the operation of the laser head becomes without a control head (if the console “freezes”, it is not recommended to keep it in this state for a long time, do a “reset” or turn off the power.) Since, as mentioned above , the optical lens is made of plexiglass, we get the result as in photo # 2.

It follows from the above that to extend the life of the laser head in the game console, you should use high-quality discs.

Photo # 2 Laser head with lens defect

ATTENTION. As with any source of high-intensity radiation, direct exposure to the laser beam can cause eye damage.

For users of game consoles, the hazardous exposure to the laser beam is completely eliminated even when the disc receiver is open.

For game consoles repairmen, during the repair process, they have to work with the laser diode powered on, eliminating the blockages. It should be noted here that it is one thing for professional craftsmen who know and observe safety precautions, another thing is the user who decided to save money and repair the set-top box with his own hands, and here it should also be noted that the laser head is a complex optical-mechanical device, easily accessible, easy damageable, one of the most expensive knots in a game console.

If the game console stops reading discs, then one of the possible malfunctions may be an engine malfunction. 80% of engine failure is reduced to mechanical damage. This video shows some of them and shows how you can repair the PS2 game console yourself.

Also lasers on PS1 and PSOne are sold like hotcakes :) I will spread it on new consoles. Thanks for your comment!

PS1 and PSOne are one and the same.

They would send it back, we exchange the defective ones.

ok, I'll look at you later, you need a motor.

we will be glad to see you, delivery is free for the first comment!

Andrey, then I will delete 1 comment and others)))) sorry)))

Thank you, I will order soon, if payment to the SB card is possible)))

There is no need to delete, on the contrary, they give us the opportunity to understand what we strive for and where our mistakes are.

Thank you! Thanks to you, I did everything and figured it out myself, the set-top box now works like a clock, you also need to upload a video on the chips, I'm sure people will be grateful!

Thank you for the video. I want to clarify this point - the length of the cable is apparently different for different PS2 slim models. I have a model 90008, which one I don’t know to take.
