Playstation 2 laser assembly available from electronic suppliers?
Not the PSX. :-) The playstation 2 does not read any CDs (that means
any CD like DVDs, game CDs, etc. My friend of his son dropped Playstation 2. Rest of mechine works (responds to gamepad controller, see menus audio etc except machine spins the cd all day and do nothing, keeps trying. The transverse stepper works because watched leadscrew spin laser assembly in and out. By the way, if somebody says PS2 instead of playstation 2, I assume this person is talking about the old PS/2 produced by IBM and I happen to have few. Have to repair it if I can source a new laser assembly. Thanks & cheers, Wizard |

You'll have to take off the top cover of the drive, of course. To the left of this gear is a sheetmetal spring with a notch on the center of the tip. If this notch is underneath the gear instead of resting within the gear's teeth, then the tilt adjustment is out of whack. Reposition the notch on the gear's teeth, then adjust the gear until the notch is in between two circular marker points on the gear itself. Reassemble and test. - Reinhart |

Well hidden! Have to move the tray out to see it. By jove, you're
right! This fixed it. The wheel was 2 notches from that 2 circular marks. I think this should be the original position. Working great, Thanks! You're welcome. Glad to have been able to help. Enjoy! - Reinhart |
