PS2 PlayStation 2 Slim Discs Not Spinning

In this video I fix a PS2 Slim which doesn't spin disc's, this is usually caused by the switch at the back of the console that detects when the lid is closed.

So I sat there having this issue thinking I would have to waste money fixing it. I had a new controller and game. But u said put tape and it was fixed. I've been playing for 3 months with no issue so THANK YOU!!!

In my ps2 slim on the screen it is written that There is no data and underneath that it's written reading disc

I’m not too experienced with this kind of stuff but I opened my ps2 slim Scph-70012 because it was only reading compact discs and not dvd rom games like gta vice city, so I adjusted the laser thingy on the bottom to see if that would work which spawned another problem, the discs don’t spin. :(

Just watched this video and fixed my ps2, I was going to bin it but this video helped and it's running great, thankyou.

The scph-90k models have their spinning sensor built into the laser, the laser tries to read of it sees data the disc starts spinning
This also means if the disc have a scratch the laser won't detect the data so the disc won't spin which gives lower possibilities of successfully loading a disc on 90k models

Awesome video! Thanks for putting this out there. Do you know where to buy a replacement switch? Mine looks pretty damaged and I don’t think it works anymore. I need to check continuity.

My ps2 slim had the laser shaft off the guide hole and fur in it so i aligned the shaft and clean it up and it works good now

Hi, I’ve tested the two switch method and the laser head moves down scans for a second, moves up and down (the lens), and then turns off the laser. The motor does not spin

Thank you so much for this video. I literally just did what you did to my PS2 slim and it works great now. Unfortunately I do need to get something more stronger to keep the latches inside the PS2 from un latching. At least right now the tape I have on it is working lol

My ps2 would run ps2 games only but I just bought a dvd-r to do the free mcboot thing but the problem is the dvd won't run correctly it start spinning for seconds then stops I tried several DVDs and ps2 games and it was working but not the dvd-r how can I fix it? I only want this dvd to run so I can install free mcboot

Hi
I have a problem with drive not spinning at all. I tried to push these 2 swithces by hand and laser want to read the disc but drive doesn't spin at all. It say Reading disc for a second on the screen before it dissapears
Do you have any solution to that?

Hello,

My ps2 slim (scph-70004) has problems.
The discs start spinning but then stop.
Sometimes they don't start spinning at all, instead
sometimes the disc spins well and I can play with it.
I noticed that the ribbon cable that connects to the lens has lifted and is scratching the discs.
Do you think that by changing this ribbon cable, the spinning problem will also be solved?

I have had three ps2 slims with the same problem i turn the ps2 on and the ps2 wants to start spinning but then stops and it only spins the disc a fraction and then you just hear it ticking what could this issue be? It is worth noting that all thoes ps2s have been worked on for playing burnt discs with the sensors

Mine still doesn’t spin. Does that mean it’s the laser or the actual spindle. I get a flash from the laser without a disc

Hi, my PS2 Slim cd drive spins both ways, is there a fix for this problem? I'm looking for a new motor anyways, but I can't find which one it is, I don't see a type number like which on the laser is written as; PVR-802W. It could be the flexcable of the motor, but it's soldered on the board and that's why I have to look for a whole new motor

[strudsens]

in the beginning i clicked both the sensor buttons to try and get my disk drive to move but it won’t move and it shut off the console every time. any solution?

[dragonknight]

Can you do tutorial to cleaning the laser..i dont know how to cleaning the laser

[razz]

will this work with the other ps2 slim models? i don't know what mine is, but imagine the disk latch is facing towards you. so the motherboard is on the left, and the drive is on the right, the vents are on the right side with the drive, and there is a circular depression between the motherboard and drive. thank you
