    Hi guys! \o/

    I opened my ps2 slim to do a cleanup, and after that I locked it now only reads ps1 games.

    Specifications:
    PlayStation 2 Slim - SPCH 77006 - Ntsc - J
    Chip Matrix Infinity 1.93
    Note: All games works normaly before that, backups and originals.

    Internal Fan - Ok
    Lubrification - Ok
    Console Cover - Ok (The problem occurs with it open or closed)
    Flats - ??? (My biggest suspects)
    Lens - Clean

    Additional information:
    When it tries to read a DVD disc does not rotate immediately, the drive tries to spin a few times without success, unlike the PS1 CDs, turning normally and work perfectly.

    I don't think it's a complicated problem and with your help I can fix, thanks all.

    Yeah, i tested "Metal Gear Skater" in my PS2 (backup CD), and works perfectly.

    I did other tests, I replaced the mainboard and the two engines, but nothing changed.
    will the flat of the lens? or actually the lens is dead?
    why a lens would be dead only for DVDs?

    Messing with it is isn't going to help unless you know what you're doing.
