Refusing to read disks

My ps2 slim has become excessively selective in reading disks. Even a brand new or little used disk will refuse to be read. It will only read certain disks, new OR worn. Is this old age on the laser or the motherboard?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

sniffswind from your description it does sound like a wore laser. You can try and clean it with some high grade isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab. Ultimately so, it sounds like it is in need of a replacement

First thing I thought of was cleaning everything, as I'm used to really crappy used disks and an oddly dust prone household. Replacing might be a problem, because finding the stock for the old consoles is nearly impossible where I'm at.
