Hmmm, I've got a PS2 with a lens that has bubbles and scratches in it.

blimey, what do you do to it? set it on fire then put it out by
scraping it with a nailfile??!! ;-)

it was "broken" when I got it. The scratches I can see from somebody
previously getting in there and fooling around. Which they did. But the
bubbles they've got me stumped. If I manage to get a picture of the lens
I'll post it.

I've seen bubbled lenses from owners trying cleaning fluids, and also from
focus or tracking drive faults, which have heated up the focus or tracking
motor coils, resulting in a melted lens. It's worth trying a lens from a
different laser ( assuming that there are no drive issues that have melted
or seized the lens suspension ). I have never cross-swapped between DVD and
CD lenses, but in principle, I don't see why there should be any fundamental
difference. For any chance of success though, note carefully what I said
about making sure that every last trace of glue is removed from the lens
mount, and the replacement lens lip, before fitting it. It is essential that
the lens is //absolutely flat// in the mount.
