The trick is going in tiny little increments and test test and test until you find the right position.
It's really easy.

@Tasuki
im sure its the laser.
if all yer discs look like this thats the problem
im sure they dont look like that lol.
i used to keep all my cds in a cd wallet.
but now...
the sealed cds are still sealed (for now)
and the loose cds that i feel dont belong in their original case because they dont look new are stored in slim cases that i specifically bought for that reason.
i keep all my cd games vertically due to rumors stating storing them horizontally after so many years in their cases can warp the discs.
but then again...yer talking to someone with severe ocd that has import cd games and/or overpriced cd games.

There's a tiny little + screw-like thing in the motherboard, that is used to calibrate the strenght of the laser.
Go too far up and it will damage your games, go too low and it won't even try to read them.
That component is called a Variable Resistance. You can use a Multimeter that is set to Ω (Ohm) to check the resistance. The lower the Ω reading, the more powerful the laser is. Setting it to 200 Ω should do the trick. Going lower than 130 Ω is not a wise move.
