Suggestions Please!

Hey everyone,

I have a V1 PS2 with a NEO2.5 swap installed. I had it since May 2001. Sometimes it does not read very well my dvd-rs (does not boot). But all of my dvd-rs work but whenever the ps2 wants to. I am thinking of replacing the mod to a non-swap. Should I change my PS2 version too? I want the best choice so that I do not have to worry about my ps2 having reading problems forever! Any suggestions on what should I do?

Peace,
Nino

Changing your mod won't help your laser issues. V1s suck. You are best off buying a new premodded system.

hey check out www.modchipman.com for a premod as the site has awesome service and everything about them is good. check it out as thats where i ordered my premod from and i have no probs!

yeah just sell it on ebay and get what u can out of it as a used ps2 u can get v7s on ebay for 130$ shiped if u ask the sellers :)

i would say modchipan is too slow and there isnt a lot of mod chips avaliable. i would personaly get it done by www.norcalmods.com as they have had very good reviews.

[eakinsme]

if you are located in the us then u can go for norcalmods. modchip man takes 5-7 days to ship the premod just to make sure it has no faults then shipping is super fast! if u want a dms3 i wud still say go modchipman!

no spedmetal is a good installer. he has had very good reviews

Sorry guys...

I have a V4 PS2. Not a V1 PS2. So what's the problem/what should i do?

Also any1 knows a great place that installs mods in Toronto?

Peace,

If it's having a hard time reading discs, sell it and move up... V4 lasers are usually crap - I guess I just landed lucky with my V4R :D

[naelnino]

Is it true that V4 Ps2s have 50/50 chance of reading DVD-Rs when modded? Should i go ahead with my V4 and change my old swap mod with a no-swap?

Well its probably not an exact percentage but I would use that for a refference.

At a price! sony dont do it for free unless it has waranty still.

[elloco]

your right i did have a warranty still. but isn't it cheaper to just buy the newer laser for the version one then to buy a whole new system.

[naelnino]

I have a V4 not V1.

But let's say that I need to replace my laser for my V4 PS2, what laser should it be replaced with? What's the average price?

go to this site http://www.the-console-corner.com/prod05.htm. but i don't think that you need it for a v4. i think the problem is with the version 1
