I own a SCPH-39004 FAT PlayStation 2. It only reads one game (Gladiator), and for other games, shows a disk read error screen.
I tried to clean the lens, and adjust the lens height through two related screws. I also turned the lens potentiometeres clockwise a bit, but no luck.
I don't have oscilloscope, but a HIOKI 3256 multimeter.
How can I fix this problem?

Disk Read Errors are very common on older PS2s, especially the "fat" models. By the sounds of it, replacing the full optical block would probably be your best option for a guaranteed fix. There are many on eBay in the ~$20 range. In my opinion, this would be a much easier fix than diagnosing the laser/other components.
