Does anyone know why my PS2 only shows the Browser / Configuration screen when I place any game, dvd in.?

Question

My PS2 recently started displaying the Browser / Configuration screen when I placed a DVD in the tray. The disc does not spin, I have waited 30 minutes just to see if it was having difficulty reading the newer DVD's. No luck, still showing the Browser / Configuration screen. Please HELP!!!

Answer 1

The laser is not reading your disks, thats why it just sits there. Try using a lens cleaner, for dvds or cds. If that doesnt work, your ps2 is busted.

Answer 2

Might be that the disc is a little corrupted. Happens to me on occasion.



The fix (for me) is to just hit reset a few times. Never bother waiting more than a few seconds. If it's going to work it shouldn't take 30 mins...

Answer 3

well you cant do that but most games should have a "load game" option and its usually in the pause menu of a game or the start menu
