Hey everyone. My PS2 is quite old but has always been very reliable (it's one of the big old ones, not a slimline btw). Unfortunately it no longer wants to load games. It can register that there's a PS2 disc inside as I'm taken to the browser/configuration screen after the start-up screen, but when I select the disc it attempts to load, and just takes me back to the browser screen again. Sometimes it gets as far as the "PlayStation2" screen, and then it won't go any further. I've tried several games, the furthest I got was with FFX which reached the Squaresoft screen. FF12 *sometimes* makes it to the menu FMV and then freezes, and that's after about 5-10 times of resetting because it won't load at all. I have cleaned the lens and left it on for hours to "warm up" but this still hasn't fixed the problem. Can anyone give me some advice? I'm dying to play my games again and I hate PS emulators.
Oh yes and this is the first time I've tried to use it in 3 months, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I also live in a humid climate, someone said that can affect the machine if it is not used often enough. Don't know how true it is.
