    Default PS2 Slim Wont Spin

    Hi all..

    A few weeks ago my sons PS2 stopped reading discs, the lens would move but the disc didn't spin.

    Well I replace the whole len assembly (Len, motor etc) and again the disc wont spin..

    What else could be the problem

    The PS2 powers on like nothing is wrong, it just won't read...
    Its a modded PS2 Slim BTW..

    Thanks..

    I knew that was going to be said, you beat me too it..lol..

    They are all plugged in, and triple checked..

    The laser moves and I get reading disc, but its not spinning...

    This is what it was doing with the old laser assembly..

    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    Well I just tested the new assembly on my mates PS2 Slim..

    Works perfectly...


    It seems this one has the little gremlin problem...

    I've been reading around and it seems to be quiet common even after replacing the laser assembly, and no one can work it out..

    Looks like the kids are going to be stuck with the DS's for Xmas...

    replace the optical block (laser) ribbon cable - constant movement causes open circuit and/or high resistance in some of the tracks

    Code:
    Are both of the door senor switches working ??
    The laser would not move if either switch is open.

    Are you replacing a PVR802 with a PVR802? I beleive it will rplace a KHM430 but not a SPU3170.
