    mk... well my PS2 has up and decided to do that traditional "disk read error" stuff that PS2 is known for (the earlier versions... i got mine the first hour it came out).

    I opened it up, blew out all the parts, made sure it was all clean and now it will read PS2 disks, but not DVDs... which is what I have been using it for mainly lately as I am almost always on the computer.

    Any ideas as to how I can get it to read DVDs again?

    if you note in my origional post i said i opened it up and blew it out, etc.

    it voids the warranty (i know, stupid me, but i did it reguardless).

    Right now it looks like taking it to a local game store and seeing if they can fix it, getting a new PS2 or swapping my VCR for a VCR/DVD combo...

    where is that...

    "thingy" technically isnt a good term to use here...

    ive opened the entire case twice now including stripping it down to the main board, so be a little more specific...

    bump before bed, is there anyway i can fix this spending a minimal amount of money? i basically only have enough to finish paying off probation/court fees so the cheaper the better...
