Re: Slim can't read Not a problem- every bit of detail helps. 
That tapping is definitely not normal- the laser lens or the laser itself is just out of alignment enough that it can't read the disc. Using the system as it is now could very well scratch up the discs. This is probably why your friend gave it to you for free (some friend ).
It's possible you could realign the lens- there should be two small wheels in there used for this purpose. I don't recommend doing this unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing. If that clears things up you got yourself a very cheap PS2- if it doesn't work out you aren't out any cash at least. If it doesn't work out i would say find yourself a functioning PS2 on the cheap. |
