[SIZE=2]Most likely the CD drive in the system is starting to go-mine did the same thing after 5 years of faithful service.

Your options are these:

1. Find a replacement laser unit and have it replaced.If you can't find one locally at a game store it is fairly easy to find online.

2. Buy a PSOne (considering the cost of the laser unit and the charges to have someone install it this may wind up being the cheaper option)

3. Upgrade to a PS2.Considering the lack of games coming for the ol' PSX you may want to consider making the jump-you wouldn't even have to get rid of your games as they will work in the PS2.

Before you fork out a wad of money, try cleaning the lasers lens as mentioned in a few other threads. Also ask yourself, "Are my disks scratched". ???

I nearly sent my PSX off to be fixed and on closer inspection found that the primary problem was/is scratched cd's. As per similar thread, I'm of the opinion that when the PSX gets a little long in the tooth, it may experience problems with reading CD's with scratches that were never an issue before.

I have had mixed results with repairing scratched discs with a 50/50 success ratio ???

Both of them are right especially Digger. *For the CD to be read the laser must bounce off the CD to read the information. *If a scratch is detected youll hear the Playstation making the "loading" noise over and over again. *ITs trying to find the next set of coding. *Try not to scratch your games and keep the system dust free, must problems occur because of bad maintenance on our part. *Buy a can of air, this is also good with your PC to clean out the dust. *This cools the CPU and has better response.
