you've burnt out your laser! you can try to reset it by open up your ps2, theres a small screw which adjusts the lasers height. mabey if you move it closer to the disk it will read better bu tmy guess is its toally gone. you can buy a new one for £40 or about $50-60 there pretty easy to fit

Laser is probably dying, I don't think leaving the PS2 on for 2 days is what cause it though.

No dev related comments at all.. Moved to off-topic.
And for the record, my PS2 went through over a week of constant usage, with less than 2 hours a day of rest with no problems.

What PS2 do you have? Certain earlier slimline / ps-two models could overheat their laser chips.
