Oh, this happened to me before. Yeah, someone told me PS2s get Disc Read Errors. I thought "Ok, if I drop it and it survives, it won't get them any more". Unfortunately it just stopped reading discs entirely. It's entirely due to the fact that the laser has lost focus.
Take it into the kitchen. To begin with, remove any add-ons you might have for your Playstation 2, like the Network Adaptor. They'll just get in the way. Flip the Playstation 2 upside down and remove all the rubber feet and square tabs. Get the edge of the flathead screwdriver or a knife underneath them to pop them out. I've circled them on the picture below — 4 rubber feet and 6 square tabs. There's a few you can leave on, but they might get in your way later. Next, you'll need the Phillips head screwdriver for this part and you might want to mark where each one comes from. They're of two different lengths, so if you make a mistake putting them back there's only one other type of screw that might fit. Once the screws are all out, take the bottom cover off. Flip your Playstation 2 over again so it's right-side up. From back to front, peel up the cover and slide it forward, then lift it off. Be careful of the memory card, controller ports and the loading tray. Once you lift the cover free, you'll notice a ribbon connecting the power and open/close buttons to the chassis. Lay the cover down as best you can without putting any tension on this ribbon. The last piece to remove is the black lid over the loading tray. There's four very tiny plastic screws holding it in. They're circled in red in the picture above. This is where you'll need the jeweler's screwdriver. Remove all the screws and lift the lid off. Voila! Now we have access to all the guts! Carefully but surely, apply a thin layer of thermal paste over the white disc as shown here:  I recommend a small (smallest you can find, actually) sponge. After doing so, leave it for about an hour in open air. Put the console back together and plug all the cables in, try a game, see if it works. You shouldn't have any further problems. Spoiler:
Most amazing jew boots
