Oh that sucks. Unfortunately the PS2 slim is a scratch machine. I discovered it last year when I was watching X files on dvd. Completely messed up my discs and I nearly threw the thing out the window.

It's the ribbon attached to the laser. As the laser moves back and forth, the ribbon gets either slack or taut. Unfortunately when there is slack, the curved ribbon actually sits higher than the laser assembly and touches the disc which is spinning, hence the scratched rings around it.

I'm never going to use a PS2 slim again

I posted this in your other thread but I see it applies here too. Unfortunately ive discovered that it's rubbish hardware. I stopped using it when I discovered this fault and went back to using the phat ps2

See ya!

Oh wow, I has no idea. I only ever had the regular PS2 and it worked fine for many years.
