....I ran into problems. I disassemble the thing no problem and open the DVD drive to expose the underneath but to my horror i found that im missing the little white turning gear to adjust the angle of the lense.

Could it be that my modem PS2 adjusts the angle some other way or is the gear simply gone (i bought the PS2 2nd hand)?


Cheers.
 
Its a big chunky one. I dont get the disc read error message but games will load to the main menu and just freeze. Happens with every game. The Tweak3D guide was the one i used aswell so im definately missing the white cog, im not being blind or anything :)
 
I'm not surprised you're having problems if the gear isn't there...

Where did you buy it? GAME do a 90 day guarantee on all preowned stuff including hardware, so if I were you I'd go and swap it for another console ;)
 
I bought it off ebay :(

[Edit] Thought id post a pic of my PS2 just in case its of any use to anyone.
