dvd-scratch
 

i have a 30004-r with messiah2pro.when i use dvd backup games ps2 damages dvd's(lots of scratches).some of my friends told me maybe lens cant focus and touches dvd.do i need to change the lens?

UMMMMMMMMMMMMM.............. This a wierd one!!!#


If you have a version 3 or 4 then possibly. The version 3 and 4 have bad lasers fitted that really have to struggle to read dvd-r. If u had your chip professionally fitted and u have V.3 or 4 then yr laser might have been adjusted but have never heard of a laser trying to focus so much that it touches dvd-r!!

Have heard that PS2 scratches dvd's though. U can get a tray insert that stops tray scratching your dvd's.

Examine tray with a magnifying glass and then stick one of the above inserts in anyway just to be safe, then pick a gash DVD and run it to see if it still scratches.

For the laser to scratch the height and Azimuth settings would really have to be at the max out settings and even then its slim.

Try tray insert first and if yr laser is hitting dvd's ythen time for a new laser + professional fitting to ensure it nowhere near dvd's.

Good luck, let us know what was happening!!!!

Sorry, have just read yr thread again and I see u have a 30004R, That means either a version 4 or 5. Check 2 C if u have extra screw in Expansion port which denotes a version 5!!

LASER PARALLAX AJUSTMENT (THE WHITE COG)

this adjusts the the rails the laser runs on,if rails are not parallel the laser could move alot closer to the disc to try and focus

search the forun charlie has written a guide how to do it somewere

i have a v.5 ps2.

thaks to everyone i solved the problem with laser adjustment.
