Sony Playstation 2 Repair Manual page 20

NOTE: Here is a picture of the one I just did with
the sheet magnets in place. It's up to you at this
point if you want to continue. This may be all that
is needed to fix your problem. Put the cover back
on and try it out. If it doesn't work you will need to
take the cover back off and then continue with the
next step, or you can continue now. The choice is
yours.
I. Next you will clean the laser lens. To gain access to
the lens, you need to remove the lens cover. The lens
cover is the piece that holds the place where you just
attached the magnets. To remove the lens cover,
simply take out the 2-4 screws located on the side with
the Jewelry screwdriver. Place the screws aside, and
lift the lens cover. NOTE:The lower left corner has a
latch tab that needs to be pulled slightly left before
you can lift it up. See photo.
You should now see the lens, a small circular glass
piece located in the back of the disc tray.
J. Spray the area around the lens with the compressed
air.
K. Dip a Q-Tip in the rubbing alcohol. Make sure that
you don't fill it so much that it is dripping. Take the Q-
Tip and carefully yet firmly rub the lens in a circular
motion for 30 seconds. Then, using a dry Q-Tip, dry
off the lens in the same circular motions. The lens
should now be clean.
