PS2 Reads CDs but not DVDs?
My PS2 reads CDs fine, but produces a disc read error when trying to read a DVD. All CDs work fine (PS1 games, audio CDs, and some PS2 games released on CD), however all DVDs (DVD videos, and PS2 games released on DVD) produce a disk read error. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks if you can help!

I have heard of this solution before and I tried it but there's a chance the lens is "too old" and it might need to be changed.
If ifixit.com can post the guide to that, it would help?
ps. When my problem comes up, before the "Disc Read Error" message shows up, I usually hear the disc spinning followed by some dull click-click-click sound a few times repeating. Is that similar to your situation?

Yes, before getting any error there is a clicking coming from the DVD drive. The disc is definitely spinning while this is happening too. Hopefully there is a fix that doesn't require a replacement lens...

It's the lens. The lasers get worn/degrade over the years and fail. Luckily there are replacement ones and It's easy as pie to replace(No soldering). You do need the FreeMcBoot program and PS2lenschanger to reflash the EEPROM. Make sure the replacement is the same version (KHS-400A,B or C) as the one that failed. If you need a Video, check out Long Island Gaming on YT. He has a great video on replacing the laser.
