So why wont my ps2 read blue discs?
Many owners of the PS2 console do experience that when using blue disc games, they get 'disc rear error' message that appears on the browser screen. This also happens if you are trying to playing your old PS1 black disc games because they are also a 'Compact Disc'. But it doesn't happen to silver game discs, since they are DVD type of discs. The reason why this problem occurs is because blue and black games discs tend to slip inside the disc tray, due to a design flaw on the PlayStation 2 fat console. As for fixing this problem, you can place tape onto the top surfaces of the disc and it will make the disc to the clamp inside the disc drive mechanism much more secured. For most people, this tape trick has worked, so why not give it a try?
Instructions:
1) Using a pair of scissors, cut 4 pieces of tape of the roll, masking tape, parcel tape or insulation tape would be ideal to use.
2) Get either a black or blue game disc that you want to fix and place the shiny surface down, onto a clean and soft surface. The printed graphics on the disc should be facing up.
3) Now individually stick each piece of tape around the disc's center hole, like shown in the image below.
4) Go over the tape with your fingers because you want to ensure that the tape is firmly stuck onto the disc. You don't want any loose tape because when the disc is spinning inside the disc tray, the tape can come off and get trapped inside the disc mechanisms, causing more problems!
5) Once you have finished doing that, go ahead and reinsert the game disc you fixed into you PlayStation 2 console. Fingers-crossed it should work, if still doesn't read that game, then the laser is on its way out and needs replacing.
