Try in your local mall, I think a big chain store is Babbages...they can probably fix one...maybe a Radio Shack too...

If you bought it directly from The Sony Store, & you still have warrenty on it, then your able to get it fixed no questions asked. We had bought extended warrenty on ours. We got it from The Sony Store and they were sayin that there are people that have shot it with paintball guns, smashed them with baseball bats etc. It covers anything. The people who did that wanted to test that out, and they got a new one :huh *looks at lighter, then at PS2. Back at lighter..back at the PS2...:devil:*

Whats wrong with it. It might just need cleaned. Mine wouldn't play some games or dvds so I went online and did a search and there are alot of sites that helped. I also cleaned my nephews. No probs now.:D

Yea, i tried to take it apart and clean it out........so no more warranty (though i didnt really have one) it still isnt working to good, maybe i could try it again. It sounds like something is wrong with the gears. because it makes a winding sound.

If your getting disk read errors, here is the way to fix it.

Take off the cover, then take off the cover over the disc tray, you will see a little white gear with a piece of metal holding it in place. This is the adjustment for the lazer (focus). Just mark the gear w/a felt tip pen or something then move it a notch at a time till it works again.

i fixed mine like this early last year. just make a mark and move in in 45 degree intervals will it reads all types of disc's. also take a Q-Tip and wipe the laser and clean it. make sure its dry before putting it back together.

i know just how to fix it. go to the local wal mart and buy a new one,put the junk one back in the box and return it saying that it didn't work and get your money back. make sure you keep your receipt or they'll only give you a gift card in return.;) i know a few people that had done this and got away with it. remember..... the customer is always right:D
