it sounds like the dvd drive. most computer fairs have traders that do repair`s, other than that it`s a case of opening the yellow pages.
sorry i can`t help more, if you post you`re general location i`ll see if i can find someone for the job.

Tends to happen with most PS2`s eventually. Think its to do with the laser; you will need to probably need to get it reset. It happened to mine, and I used to reset it myself by taking the lid off of the drive and pushing it back into place. I`d have to do it every time I played a game, so its not a great solution. And eventually it just completely went. Best off just finding someone to repair it. Search on google.co.uk, you`re bound to find someone. :D
Oh my God, Bear is driving! How can that be?

I don`t know how much it costs to get a ps2 repaired but it can`t be much cheaper than buying new one.
I`d imagine there`ll be some good deals on the big box form soon. Seeing as the ultra-thin versin is out on friday and that`s onyl £95 from amazon.

( please get an adult to do this not recommended for children) never attempt this on your own if it`s a disk read error this is what you need to do try playing all three types of disk ie dvd, game and music if you get disk read error. this is what you have to do
firstly remove the lid and the top of the disk drive in the back of the drive you will see a white gear (cicular cog at back bottom under drive behin laser eye mark on it with a felt pen you turn it slightly take a bit of patience as its a bit footery and then try putting a disk in put the drive lid over ther drive and laser eye whilst doing this as you may get a bad headache from the radiation from the laser eye if you dont. each time you expose the drive turn of the unit whilst turning the cog but leave the cover of at this time as you will need to repeat this serveral time before anything will play
