How to Clean a Playstation 2 Lens

Have you ever had problems with your Playstation 2 reading disks?

1. Unplug every cord that is plugged into the console (power cord, tv plug-ins, controllers, internet, memory card), as well as switch the power switch into the "off" position.
2. Flip your Playstation 2 over carefully. There will be 4 soft square shaped pads; remove these from the console. If they are hard to remove, just use the screw driver to help.
3. Repeat this process to the 4 hard pads beneath. On the part that has vents, there will be 2 of these hard pads; make sure to remove these.
4. In the back of the Playstation, remove the warranty voiding tape.
5. If you have an internet adapter, remove now before doing anything more. Carefully remove the top cover of the Playstation. Make sure not to rip the silver paper looking stuff connecting the top as well as bottom parts. This supplies the power for the on/off buttons.
6. Carefully remove the cover to the cd/dvd drive of the playstation.
7. If there is alot of dust/dirt on the surface of the whichle thing, just swab with a dry/very lightly damp cotton swab. Swab the lens only with a dry swab. When finished, make sure to make everything dry.
8. Take the screws from the cd/dvd drive as well as return it to its proper place.
9. Return the main cover, screws, then pads to their original places.
