More information required,

Was this an original or a backup?

Have you checked to see if the laser still tracks the disc?

Is this the only game your having trouble with?

This Is an original I haven't had a chance to make a backup of it all the other games don't load up either I don't know if the laser does anything it just goes to the memory card/cd player screen and the power goes on and everything

Right,

Try booting your PSX with the lid open and no disc inserted.

Firstly check to see where the laser is, is it half way along its track or right up to the end stop at the spindle end?

To the right of the laser assembly you will see a small round switch resessed into the case, hold this down with a pen and then switch on. If all is well you should see the laser move up and down a few times and if the laser is situated half way along the track then it should return to the centre.

Next try it with a disc in place and check again, this time the laser should see the disc and signal the motor to spin.

(There are 2 motors in the laser assembly, 1 to drive the laser up and down the track and 1 to spin the disk)

Let me know the outcome.

Hey sorry I haven't got in touch earlier LOL but yeah my laser is like stuck to the left and it won't move it's stoped at the spindle end ok whats happening when I push that little button in the corner the spindle spins but the eye of the laser moves up and down and it repeats this step once more then stops or you could say gives up unless you push it again but it doesn't move to the center or anything it just stays stuck to to the left against the spindle thing and also I don't use a performance game pad so I don't think that could be whats wrong I think it's just stuck
