PlayStation 2 (Slim Versio) Console Problem, HELP!!!

[Dastardly Dylan]

Hey guys, I hope you can help me out

Well, yesterday I wanted to play PS2, cause I got FF7 in the mail which I was damned excited about, I found my slim PS2 in my room, hooked it up, and it didnt work! the PS2 turns on and all...but doesn't read the disc...im guessing its broken right? anyway to fix that? also, when I put in my memory card it didn't read it, so I took it out, put it back in, and then it was fine but thats not much of a big problem

Also, the power cord for my PS2 is weird cause it won't work sometimes! I gotta play with the wire until i have power for it..I think its the cord though not the system

Also, I can't close the lid on the PS2, it comes back up, and I can't close it! so I have to put something on top of it to close it, If I can send it to anyone, or if someone can help me, PLEASE let me know!!! im desperate!!
