There are 2 different lasers in the reader one for each type of disk. One can go out with the other still working. They can be replaced with some eas. Just look up a tutorial of lazer replacement in the PS2 if you are thinking about doing it yourself. As a side note there are several different versions of the lazer. You may need to pop it open to see which one you need to order.

A large majority of cell phone repair stores/computer repair stores will also repair game consoles.
