Default ps2 won't play dvd

my ps2 will not play dvd's or ps2 games that come on a dvd rom disc
however it will play cd rom ps2 games, psx games and cd's so it basically can't read dvd
i was wondering what could be wrong with it and how hard would it be or how much would it run me up too fix it.
the warranty is up so i'll be fronting the cost out of my own pocket but cost really isn't an issue
btw i believe it might have something to do with when i left the ps2 running all night

You would be better off just buying a new system. The problem is in the laser of the PS2's disc drive.

There would have been some slight differences made to the disc drives as they upgraded the models. Thing is, Sony doesn't sell the parts out to people to do their own repairs. If you did happen to send in to them for repairs (which would be in the range of $60-80) the odds are good they would send out a refurbished unit and not the same system back. As for my recommendation on buying a new system, that doesn't mean you can't still hang on to the old one for the reasons you mention. All of your accessories from the original would still work with it as well.
