umm no...this may fix 10% or so of the DRE on a PS2. The other 90% have to be fixed by calibrating the laser...turning 2 screws slowly on the motherboard...one for CD one for DVD...etc...

This has fixed 2 of my PS2's and one of my friend's PS2's. That is 3 out of the 3 that I have tried it on. Man, what are the chances of that? Like 1 out of 1000 right? Obviously I must just be the luckiest guy on earth, right?


Thats prety lucky actually.

I modded well over 20 ps2's for my freinds in my college days as well as repaired(or tried to repair) atleast as many... Most of the PS2's DRE problems come from the fact that not enough voltage goes to the laser to read the disks. Most of the time CD disks don't work first but DVD's still work then later go DVD's as well. In any case, to fix that one must push more voltage to the laser by adjusting the voltage screws on the motherboard...but too much voltae will not work either so its a very delicate process of trun screw 25 degrees...test...turn again...test again...

That was the DRE issue on a PS2...otherwise having a dirty laser can happen to any system out there...which is where that product helps and can be used on PS1, PS2, xbox, 360, any movie DVD player etc...
