hi, i have a problem with the lens of my PSX. There is somekind of discoloration on the lens. I have tried rubbing alchohol and 2 types of lens cleaning kits. I would grately appreciate some help on it.

[color=blue] Wow PJB is on the ball. I use rubbing alcohol and it works, but if it still wont work bring it back to your retailer and get a new one. If it came with the stain then you should bring it back.

thanks very much for your help. After I posted that message, I went to a site called psxworkshop.com and I did the troubleshooting there, and found out that you can get an Audio Lens Pickup piece from the Sony Store for about 10 - 15&#36. When I looked up close, I saw that it is the top lens part. There is nothing wrong with the mirror underneath it. So i think i will go and get a new Audio Lens pickup at the Sony Store and that should help. Thanks for your help.

i don't think the alcohal works on the lens but it works on the cd's

ive never had to clean my lens!!! * * *

Also, discoloration of the lens could mean that the laser has gone bad in which case you would need to either purchase a new system(recommended) or buy a new carriage and get it placed by a certified Sony technician unless you're very familiar with the carriage's of the Sony system and would feel like voiding the warranty to save you a few bucks. Well, i hope that you enjoy posting and have fun gaming. :thumbsup:
