Since I've done a repair on my old PS2 before, I can tell from
experience, DRE (Disc Read Errors) were a couple of things depending on the
model of the PS2. The older ones got it after a few years, and if I remember
correctly, it had something to do with either the alignment of, or a
scratched laser diode on the part that 'reads' the disc. If you're
technically inclined enough, you can usually use the compressed air, or a
clean lint free cloth after taking apart the PS2 to try to clean the diode.
If there's a scratch, you may have to replace the entire diode assembly (and
which you'd want to consult Chaz on if it's something like this or harder.),
or as well, if there's a problem with the laser alignment, just like on a
computer dvd or cd drive, I'm not sure if they have a guide online for
realignment, or if you need special tools/etc for that.
Anyway, good luck, and lemme know how it turns out!
