It's my birthday(18) so I'm gonna make this quick.

Alright so I went to youtube and typed in "fix playstation 2" and found that I was not alone on the dis read error thing. I'm not gonna list the person I used cuz I used many. One for the explaining, another for the pictures, and another that told me the supplies I need.

Rubbing alchohol / 4 Cutips(earswabs) / Big philips screwdriver / small screwdriver(the kind for eyeglasses) / ordinary non-butter knife / BONUS: Get the kind of drill where you can change the sizes of the inserts so that you can insert the eyeglasses screwdriver. *IT HELPS ALOT*

1.turn over the PS2
2.use the knife to take off the rubber and plastic bottems
3.use the screwdiver to take out screws *atleast TRY to remember which short and long screw went where.*
4.CAREFULLY turn it over again
5.CAREFULLY open it from the back and take heed of the silver cord. *if you break that then commit suicide cuz now u have to buy another*
6.use the drill or small screwdiver to take off the screws and open the case
7.once open. pour alchohol into the cap and dab a swab into it LIGHTLY.
8.press on the lens enough so that it goes down but not too deep
9.rotate the swab counter-clockwise for 30 seconds
10.after that down let it dry in the mean time put the swab on the disc spinner and rotate it with one finger until dust is gone *this make it spin faster*
11.when done take te dry side of the swab to tool stroke over the lens to remove any excess alchohol.
12.now you are basicaly done but don't put it back together yet. look around the console at all that dust on the fan and the side panels and etc. using only a swab with alchohol begin to dust everywhere but try to be careful about those silver bars and DON'T FORGET ABOUT THAT EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SILVER CORD!!!.
13.when you are satisfied with the cleanliness. CAREFULLY put put the disc tray back on with the screws then CAREFULLY put the top on from the front to the back.
14.flip it back over and screw the screws back into their respective spots then re-apply the rubber and plastic bottems. *PLEASE REMEBER: the rubber bottems are on the four corners*
