Does the Ps2 have 2 lasers?
 

Does it contain 2 lasers? 1 for regular cds and 1 specifically for dvds?

Oh i just wondered hehe.

No harm in asking..... That is what the forum is for...... To find out things you don't already know.......:cool:

Re: Does the Ps2 have 2 lasers?
 

It contains 2 laser diodes, one for CD and one for DVD. These diodes emit the light that goes through the single lens at the specific frequencies.

So yes, there are two lasers in the PS2. Sorry Zedy.

So it's possible for your cd diode to go kaput and have ur dvds still working? Drat! Maybe thats what happend to my ps2 not sure though.

Anyone know of a place that sells v5 laser replacements?

well, the diode should *should* be the same one used by most all cd readers ;), i would hope.

It's the size of a grain of sand. You can't replace it just like that without specialised equipment and the laser diode in your hand (if you can see it).

Another word if u want to replace it U CAN.
Charlie can it be done by bypass the laser diode with another laser diode using the chipping technique?




Dont blow me out ,Its just a suggestion!!

It can't be done by the ordinary person. A replacement laser unto can be bought and fitted.

Ok.
Seem it can't be replace the best option is to replace the dvd drive itself.I think its a lot cheaper than get the laser diode fix

Thanks Charlie....
