PlayStation 2 Not Reading Discs? Here's a Cheap and Easy Laser Fix!

The Retro Station 27 min Published Apr 2025

About this video

PlayStation 2 disc read errors are tackled on two consoles by cleaning the lens on the laser, which the maker says was all these units needed.

Good to know: Never look into a powered laser. Any isopropyl used on the lens is flammable and needs ventilation.

Why watch it

The maker admits it was not much of a fix and sees it as a starting point for later PS2 repairs, so it covers a lens clean on two units, not a cure for every read fault.
