PLAYSTATION PS2 My PlayStation 2 has been consistently struggling to read discs, and I’m starting to suspect there’s an underlying hardware issue — possibly with the laser, disc motor, or another internal component. I previously had the console looked at by someone who said everything was fine, but the problems have continued without any improvement. Here’s a breakdown of the issues I’ve been experiencing: Disc Reading Problems: The system has trouble reading many of my games. For example, The X-Files (PS1) – Disc 1 loads without issues, but Disc 2 won’t load at all, even after multiple attempts. Both discs work perfectly on my original PSOne. Games Failing to Load or Crashing: Titles like Crazy Taxi either don’t load at all or frequently display “Disc Read Error” messages. Other games sometimes crash during loading screens or during gameplay. Glitches During Playback (Games & Movies): Skips and stuttering during gameplay and DVD playback. Random freezing or scenes cutting out unexpectedly. Very slow loading times for both games and movies. Unusual Noises: The console often makes odd spinning or grinding sounds while attempting to read discs, which seems abnormal. Affects All Disc Types: These issues occur across the board — with PS1 games, PS2 games, and standard DVDs. Despite being told the system was fine, the persistent nature of these issues suggests a deeper hardware fault. Any insight into what could be causing this — whether it’s the laser alignment, a weakening disc motor, or another component — would be greatly appreciated. repair in KELTY
