I had the same problem with my PS2. To fix the problem follow these steps.
1. Open PS2 from the bottom. You will need a small phillips screwdiver (eyeglass one).
2. Be carefull when pulling the top off, there is a wire thingymajigger connecting the top to the on/off switch. Don't twist it or pull on it.
3. Now take off the cover to the actual drive of the PS2.
4. I believe you should now be able to see the eye that reads the disk. If not take the remaining stuff out of the way.
5. Once the eye is available, take a Q-Tip and dip it in some alcohol (not beer) and clean off the eye.
6. Now put your PS2 back together (carefull not to mess that wire up).
7. Plug it in and try it.
I did this to mine about 6 months ago and haven't had another problem yet.
Good luck and be carefull.
Dubbs, you fuckin' rule!
My PS2 is working like a charm now! Games, movies, CD's, they all run clean.
Thanks a ton man!
