Disc Read & Tray Problems

Hey everyone, Well today i got a PS2 in which my friend gave me... After opening the disc tray i noticed it just closes right back up after a few seconds it also will not read some of my games, I was hoping maybe someone can guide me into finding out what may be wrong, while looking at it i noticed the warranty sticker was removed and the front of the disc tray can easily be removed i'm starting to think it was modded or something, Everything else looks great on it and it looks brand new, Hopefully someone can help me find out what may be wrong with it

Thanks alot any ANY help would deeply be appreciated.

 

hi, your the first person that has exatly the same thing wrong as me! the front of the tray keeeps falling off and the tray closes almost instaly after i open it! i get DRE all the time and no games will play the includes ps1 ps2 adios cds and dvds. ive tried rotating the gear and cleaning the laser any help? also the disk spins for only 10 seconds then just stops it wont spin for any more! wtf?

no probs mate and this guid ive been throu ivbe been through alot of them. the discs spins and the laser is workn but it still doesnt seem to work?!

 

Yup someone told me to fix the disc open/close issue i had to by a eject cable ribbon or something, as for the DRE they said i need to take it apart and clean the laser, Hopefully it isn't too hard when i get to it, but right now i don't have a can of air or tools lol
