Good chance it will. You had a better chance of getting a slim PS2. Because the fat PS2 laser are $30+. While the slim PS2 laser are $10+.

Honestly, I'd avoid eBay for the console itself, a lot of people sell broken, partially-functional consoles there. Your odds of getting a working PS2 second hand from a friend or pawn shop are much higher imo. As far as the laser and PS2 parts, I can't speak to that.

i tried to adjust the screw on the lazer and the wheel thingy and no go (((((

Probably just a busted console man. You could try replacing the laser, the problem is the PS2 may just be shot period. I personally would never recommend anyone buy a console off eBay. At least three people have told me they sell busted consoles on eBay. It's your call, if it were me, I'd cut my losses get a used PS2 second hand from a pawn shop, test it out, and mod it if all works.
