The other day I posted a link to instructions on how to get your PS2 to work if you were getting disk read errors. I'd been meaning to give it a try for a while and finally took the plunge this afternoon. The directions were just about perfect (though the inside of my PS2 was a little different), and after about an hour of fiddling I got things working again. I tested out all the various kinds of discs and they all could be read. The big important one was DVDs since my DVD player died and some friends are coming over to watch stuff this weekend.
