Greetings:

I've got 2 SPCH-50001 playstations to repair.

Is there anything that can be done for laser problems for
these things ?
One of them will not read a disc at all ("disc error")
and the other will play games and CD's, but not DVD's.
I did the old lens cleaning and the clean/lube of sled rails,
sucked out all the dust, I know the spindle motor seems to be

turning fine too.

The electronics for the opto seems to be buried under shielding
and not easy to acess.

I could use a little advice,

Carl

The PS2's are notorious for laser problems. Usually the only thing that
helps is a replacement laser unit.

Jan;

Is it a difficult job to replace the laser in a PS/2 ?

Do you know what the part $ is round about ?
Thanks,
Carl
