Manufacturer description

This ps2 works but has issues. It is being sold as parts/not working. First issue is that it scratches cds while playing. It looks like the ribbon is scratching the cds. I tried to tape it down but that isn’t working. Sometimes the laser doesn’t go all the way down and makes a noise and won’t play disc. I have to manually push the laser down all the way and restart the machine then it will start working. The fan starts to make loud noise after awhile of playing. If you know how to fix this you will have a functional ps2.
