Laser Problem With Cds (dvd Region X)
 

I need help from you guys.

My PS2 is a 30001 USA, with (I'm almost sure) a NEO 2.2. I swap discs with DVD region X. The thing is that DVDs work perfect, but I can't boot DVD region x. I get the annoying clicking sound. I am able to boot PS1 backups though, but not always. I really don't know which are my options. I am planning on buying a Messiah the minute it goes out for my v3 USA console, but meanwhile I want to fix this situation.

What do you think is the problem?
Thanks in advance

See my post "Understanding DVD/DVD-R Issues".

When I first got my DVD region X cd it booted every time I used it, but after almost half year of intensive use I had the same problem as you mentioned above. It was noted that my DVD region X cd had gone bad although I could not see any scratch marks on it. I had it replaced and now I am a happy gamer and it boots every time.
Check your DVD Region X cd, it might be scratched.

I agree, I have had the same problems with GS2's. Just because it isnt scratched doesnt mean it isnt damaged.

Warlock:

In fact I've tried my own DVD Rx in other PS2 consoles, but it works perfectly in them. So I know its not my disc, but the Ps2 itself. Anyway, thanks for the advice; I really appreciate your help, cuz here in Mexico City (where I live) its very difficult to find someone who ACTUALLY knows what they're doing
