Ps2 tray not coming out smooth

Question

I got a ps2 from a friend for $20.00. I noticed the tray wasn't ejecting very smoothly. It almost feels like its struggling to come out towards the inch of the ejection. It seems to go into the ps2 smoothly. Its not really a huge deal, but I want to make sure Its not hurting it or something. Is there a way to fix this without opening the ps2?

Answer 1

Probably something got stuck in there.

The PS2's tray is a very simple mechanism. There should be no problem, i think theres something in there.

Answer 2

Just buy pressurized air can and blow out the dust.
