Hello,
I am trying to resurrect an old PS2 I used to play as a kid. Looking around, I thought it was simply a laser issue, so I bought a new laser on Amazon and installed it. (Yes, I removed the solder blob). After doing so, it seems the issue has not changed. I am very close to giving up and emulating.
When I turn it on, the laser moves under the disk, clicks twice (I can see the laser through the disk), and stays there. On the screen, it just goes to the "Browse/System Config." screen...
No Disk Spin, No Error, NEW Laser Moves and Clicks.
