Ok, over the past few days my PS2 has been playing up, it keeps saying "Please insert a Playstation or Playstation2 format disc", but, I have put in an original PS2 disc...
If I take the disc out, open & shut the lid about 15 times very quickly then pop the disc back in & reset, it works most of the time, but it's a pain in the rear as the last time I tried to get it to work it took 1/2 an hour to actually decide to load GTA: San Andreas!!!
I'd rather not have to replace anything inside, but instead get another SlimPS2 unit (the big black oldies seem to struggle with GTA:SA), but not a PS3 just yet (too damned expensive!!!), and of course, it's out of warranty...
So, any ideas?
