Adjusting the disc mechanism >>>

11)If all three loaded successfully, congratulations you are finished.

12)If not, remove the tray cover, eject the disk and advance the wheel another 1/8 turn and repeat the process. It just a matter of finding an angle that will facilitate the operation of all three types of disks.

13)Once you have found the proper angle and the system is operating to its full potential, put it back together and start playing games again.

I also do not recommend placing the PS2 on its side once you have fixed it. Although Sony says, they recommend it in the owner manual, there have since been internal Sony documents retracting the statement and attributing many malfunctions to storing and operating the unit on its side. Keep it flat at all times!!

If your unit is still not working then you will have to adjust the laser voltage. This stage is the most deadly to the PS2 laser if not done correctly. If you are not confident in your repair abilities then please don’t proceed with this as you may end up making matters worse.
