Fix my PS2 please

[krazyq]

hey guys, i have a ps2...wel its my cousins ps2. The laser for it is really weak, whenever he opens it up and cleans it, it will end up workin but not for too long. So is their anyone you guys know around my area that could fix it for a reasonable price.
I live in Brooklyn Park, MN.

He doesnt have money to buy a new system, so fixing the laser or whatever the problem is will do.

Thanks

In many cases, actually buying a new PS2 is cheaper than having one repared.

you could just buy a new laser online for like 25$ I'd fix ur ps2 but i don't live near you

hmm.
do you think you can provide me with a link?
or should I go on ebay and look there?

also when you clean it do you adjust it aswell?

 

[krazyq]

what do you mean by adjust it?
my cousin told me he just wipes the lens and air dusts everything?
What is their to adjust...
I use to have a ps2 lik 3 years ago...so I barely remember what the inside looks like.

works out cheaper if you buy 2nd hand from Ebay etc ? or even a market

Thanks for the info though and for the video of you skipping...thats cool.
And for that heater that was behind you...I LOVE THOSE compared to what we have. When i was in london for vacation i use to just sit against those things....warm and toasty.
