There is a little pot that you can adjust located on the gold/brown ribbon cable that links the CD lens/motor unit to the playstation motherboard. It's on a little piece of white plastic. Open your playstation up and turn the pot a tiny bit (1/16 of a turn) clockwise and see if your problem clears up. You can try different adjustments but:

1. Make a note of where it started so that you can put it back there if you still can't get it to work

2. NEVER turn it more than 90 degrees because the pot will come off and you'll have a big problem.

3. Turn it gently, in small amounts and then test it before you move it again.
