Disc Read Error

Any quick fixes? NCAA isn't working but when I pop in Tony Hawk, it works fine. I have had problems before, but any quick fixes other than tape?...that's never worked for me. Thanks and please reply before I pull all of my hair out of my head and body. Thank you.

Re: Disc Read Error

the tape fix is just where you put 2 pieces of scotch tape about 1 inch in length just outside the hole in the center of the disc, so it looks like this: I0I

but anyone else have any ideas????

You say you have had past DRE problems? You may need a fix by Sony.

Re: Disc Read Error

I often get Disc read errors with certain games. I had to try about 20 resets to get it to load. It's gonna stay on for a while now.

Anyway, the best way to fix this is to take your PS2 apart and clean the lens with a QTip and rubbing alcohol. Dust/grime/smoke (if you're a smoker) accumulate on the lens. I've YET to have that method not work. It's risky however, you have to be careful not to screw something up. There are a few articles on the internet about how to do it. I would reccommend a few google searches or something. Or if you want me to go though it step by step let me know. I've done it about 10 times. The only problem I ever had was when I accidentally pulled the ribbon that goes to the Power/reset button out of the mainboard. And it was a pain to get it back in because it's so small and it's a tight area.

Good luck. This game is the [censored].

Re: Disc Read Error

yes, but i turn on my ps2 with NCAA in and get the error. Then without turning it off, I put in Tony Hawk and it works fine. I can repeat this process probably an infinite amount of times with NCAA never working. Shoot me now.

Re: Disc Read Error

Have you tried boiling the disc? That's worked for me before.
