The memory card slot 1 does not work

The memory card slot 1 does not work My Playstation 2 memory card slot 1 does not work properly. I have inserted many different memory cards to see if it was that, however, each of them is not recognised by any of my games. I have looked everywhere to see if anyone could repair it for me and no one seems interested.

I can put the memory card in slot 1 and it will not work

"Does slot 2 work though?

If it's both slots and if both controller ports aren't working, then it's probably the ribbon cable.

If one slot is only working [and likewise, if one or both controller ports are working], then it might be the contact pins not seating properly."

"Hey guys i have a simular issue.

cad slots were not working on my old PS2 i had - never did actually, so i got a new card, didn't work.

i've literally just got another ps2 and i'm having the same issue - no memory showing.

so i've tried different memory cards and different PS2 but it's not working. i really want to play my old games again but i can't if i can't save my work.

does anyone have any other ideas? cheers"

Try to Clean the pins with metal polish, noobs use isopropyl alcohol while it works sometimes you gotta keep in mind these are metal contacts (gold most of the time) the combination of metal polish and grain or Ethel Alcohol are the best way to clean the pins. Similar logic applies to cleaning pins on Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis Cartridges

I have a playstation 2 and for some reason when I load the game using the memory I cannot retrieve the saved data. I have a problem with slot 1 so I try to load on slot 2 but the message comes up no memory card in slot 1. All my sons saved games are on the memory card which we can'talk load. Do you have any ideas?
