Sony PS2 fat console grind noises with blue discs only

Recently bought a PS2 SCPH-39001 fat console at a yard sale. Came home, turned it on and it worked just fine on the regular silver back cd's. I then popped in a blue back disc and the drive started to maker loud noises and even grinding noises.

Then I get cannot read disc error. I also had an issue with a PS1 game, the same loud grinding noises happened for a black colored PS1 game. But I put in another PS1 with a black back and it worked just fine.

I went ahead and opened it up, cleaned it, cleaned the laser,made sure the rods were lubricated. Same exact issue. I then replaced the laser, same exact issue. So that would toss out the whole adjustment on the back of the laser because the same issue happens with different lasers?

Do you think the spindle needs to be replaced? Any suggestions. I saw a video about putting tape on the game disc, but I cannot accept a solution like that. I watched the laser move up and down and no issues, no loud noises, no grinding etc.

But when the CD starts spinning up, that is when the loud grinding noises happen and again, with just the blue disc, silver discs work perfectly fine. But also confused about the PS1 games, as I played 2 of them, both with black color backing. One worked just fine, the other same issue as the blue back.

This PS2 still had the warranty sticker intact, did not look like it was opened until I opened it. Any ideas? Im thinking the spindle motor needs to be replaced.

Look at the surface of the disc's in question. If after the grinding noise happens you can see little hair thin circular scratches appearing on the surface of the disc it's possible that the laser assembly caddy is misaligned. Which can cause the laser eye to physically hit and scrape the disc.

Laser resistance being wrong can sometimes cause the eye to "lift up" higher than normal and thus scrape the disc.

Does the scrape sound appear during "spin up", or when the laser begins seeking?

PS2 fats are finicky beasts. Especially certain models. Some of them require laser caddy height calibration at multiple angles. For example: if one adjustments is correct all but dvd movies will play, if another is out of alignment dvd movies will play but colored discs wont, or even cd roms will play but not dvd nor ps2 games. All of those adjustments have be dialed in "just right" for all of the various types and surface colors of discs to work.

Eventually over time, and use, those alignments drift out of focus.

Don't put tape on the discs. That's a terrible thing to do. It unbalances them and makes them heavier.

Look:

See where I've marked with green. That dial/cog adjusts the "foreground/background" tilt of the entire caddy. Some models only had that one single dial/cog.

See where I marked in red. Some models had separate dial/cogs, one for each of the two rails, independently. So not only adjusting "foreground/background" tilt but since they were separate it also had a diagonal angle impact.

Lastly see the set screw marked in blue. This adjusts the "levelness" of the laser itself.

Whether yours has a single dial or the dual dial set up in either case ALL of these factors (including laser pot resistance) all have to be calibrated "properly" in order for all of the various disc types and surface colors to play correctly.

Mark their default positions with something like a sharpie so you can easily return to neutral and start over if needed. Adjust and retest until all disc types function correctly.
