Ok, I tried cleaning the PS2 lens (got a jewelry screwdriver kit) listed here:

I also cleaned the inside of the system with a can of compressed air and then cleaned the laser. Ok, I put the disc cover back on and plugged it in to try it, and nothing. The disc won't load up, and the player won't spin now.
What did I do wrong?!
