Regarding your no solder mod. These mods control the eject motor, and as such do it at a different speed to the original PS2 controller. As a result of the higher speed, the cogs that are on the motor spindle that push the tray out wear down a lot faster. The following result is obvious. Take note that this wear is normal for any PS2 - it just occurs a lot faster when this mod is installed.

Hope this helps.
