Have you tried countless times pressing the eject button, the tray ejects and stays open for less than 3 secs? Then closes on its own? I've got a fix for you people! The problem is that the ps2 isn't sensing that the door is open, and shuts itself. When I got mine, the prievious owner was stupid enough to put a version 1 tray in a version 4 system. There was many problems, but the one that stumped me the most was when the drawer would open, but would close after 3 secs. If you have ever dropped your ps2, or someone bumped into it when the tray was open, this most likely happens. There is a little button inside the ps2 near the bottom right of the disc drawer that when eject is pushed, the drawer comes out and pushes that button, telling the system to stop spinning the gear, the drawer is out. Well, the piece of plastic that is supposed to push this down is either broken or missing. Here's how to fix it: 1. Take the top off of your disc drive. 2. Remove the tray completely. Take it all the way off. 3. Look for the switch on the bottom right hand corner of the drive. 4. Draw a straight line from the switch to the center of the plastic. 5. Turn on your ps2 and push the eject button while the tray is out. When the gear is spinning, push the little button down and hold it. If this doesn't stop it from trying to open, your problem is a lot more complicated. Turn off the ps2 with the master switch. 6. Fit the tray in the eject postion, and trace the line right onto the disc tray. 7. Remove the disc tray carefully. Turn it over and trace the line all the way until you see the gears. 8. Is a piece of plastic that pushes the switch down missing/broken? The plastic may look like part of the guide lines for guiding the door out. You'll have to check your system to see where the switch should be. 9. If it's broken then take a thin piece of plastic that matches the hight and width of the broken, or missing piece and super glue it to the place where the line you drew was at. Let it dry and test it again by putting it back CAREFULLY and checking to make sure that the plastic is pushing in the button. If not reverse process & try again. If it is, then you can turn the system on and try ejecting it once the system takes in the drawer. It should stay out now! Just make sure to make sure that the drawer can open and close easily with the lid on as well. 10. Screw the lid back on and put the system back together. (note: I am using a 30001 series 4, 8 screw system.) Hope this helps! (btw, if you need a diagram, I can e-mail it to u.)
