Known as the ''PS2'', it is a sixth-generation video game console first released by Sony in Japan in March 2000. The United States saw it later in 2000 with the SCPH-30000. Repair of this device requires only common tools, but can get tricky.

PS2 Slim making a grinding noise

So my PS2 is making the exact same noise as in this video:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z2gR3gKFr...

and according to this video it's the Worm thing. Now I have not taken my PS2 apart to check that worm thing, but it is making the exact same noise and only does it when a disc is inserted just like in the video so I assume it's the exact same problem.

Do I have to buy the replacement part and have someone replace it for me? Does Sony still do repairs on PS2? Or is there a home fix I can do?

I just got Okami for ps2 so really eager to get my ps2 up and running again.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If you think you can do the repair yourself i would recommend you to do it. The reapair isnt that hard and shouldnt take that long and i also dont believe that sony does still do work on the Play Station 2's anymore

If the laser moves up but it doesn’t spin while making a grinding noise it’s because the 2nd contact isn’t touching. https://youtu.be/7a2JV6q134k
