Hi!

Is the PS2 modded by any chance?

Anyway, it’s probably the laser which need to be cleaned! Please try this first. If this didn’t fixed, then replace it!

Please let us know how it goes!

I've cleaned the laser, and it seems to work with CDs, but not DVDs. It recognizes the disc and displays what type of DVD it is, but cannot play/launch it.

And I'm using the model SCPH-77001

Alright, then the best thing to do is to replace the laser! The console isn’t modded, right??

I don't think so. I bought my console broken from a store.
