Why won’t my PS2 read the disc?
It could be a problem with its wiring (the motors ribbon cable sometimes is the problem, so inspect that) or it has simply died. If not a motor problem. It could also be that the laser can’t read the disk/detect there is one, the motor won’t spool up/spin. The laser is what tells the motor to pin, go a set speed etc.

Why won’t my CD player play burned cds?
Very often audio CD’s burned at slower speeds will work in audio players while disks burned at higher speeds won’t. It’s been said that the laser encoding is somehow “clearer” when burning at slower speeds and this helps audio players, which often have a problem with home-burned CD’s, to cope with the disks.
What to do if CD is not playing?

What to do if PS2 CD is not working?
If the disc is clean, the issue likely is with the PS2. Spray a few shots of compressed air into the opening of the PlayStation2. This removes any dust that may be clinging to the lens of the machine. When dust builds up on the lens, it prevents the system from reading the game properly and causes it not to load.
