hey, i've read all the dre faqs and what not (including the one on another thread here), i followed all the instructions, but after i put everything back 2gether, i find that the laser won't even read the disc (i've cleaned the laser many times b4, and have had no problem those times). the disc won't spin, the disc spins like a cm, the laser works, because it "tries" to read the disc (flashes red), the disc spins a cm, and stops. on the browser screen it sez "reading disc" for second then goes away, i've been trying this with the cover off any everything to see if there is a physical problem, so far i have seen none. can anyone tihnk of anything? btw, i have a scph-30001, and i have never installed anything other then what was already in there.

this is driving me off the wall:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :mad: :mad: :banghead: :banghead: :mad: :mad: :banghead: :mad:

edit: i have turned the white gear that "fixes" dre's, and am not sure where the original slot was, but have tried EVERY SLOT AND THE DISC STILL ISN'T SPINNING:confused: :confused: :banghead: :banghead: :mad: :mad:
 
You can try calling Sony's tech support. If you explain to them the problem, they might be able to fix your PS2 for free. Or, see if a local electronics shop can fix it. Other than that, you can't do much about it besides buying a new one.
 
mine had the exact same problem. found that one corner of the cable that connects the laser carrage to the motherboard had folded over on itself. (the one that goes througn the hole in the center of the motherboard) straightened it and now it works fine.
