Cleo,
I do not know if this is right but it sounds like something is wrong with your lens. I have a lot of experience with defective PlayStation 2's. The older model ones have a flaw that the lens would stop working for some reason and just stop reading games. The games would either not load up or I would get an error message that said "CD cannot be read". However, there was a way to get into the console to fix the lens. However I do not recommend it because once something like that is opened the warranty is null and void. Perhaps a professional would help or if you really miss your DVD player they sell them for like 30 bucks now. Just until you can get your good one fixed. I know I love my movies :0).

Stay strong,
Jessica
