I have to agree with bighap--I know from experience. Ever find a little rubber band looking thing, like what they used to put on braces? If so, you already screwed up the front end of the drive trays stabilization scheme, and eventually will start getting misreads. The box has to be opened to re-install those grommets.

Almost no excuse for not modding the box--especially if you were willing to fork out $40 for a GS2 to swap with a knife/credit card. The no solder mods can be bought for $10 to $20 (depening on version of PS2) plus shipping. The Magic 2's are about $90/$100 plus shipping in US (Some may be getting cheaper since they're getting more distributors). And they don't require a GS2--they "cold-boot" just about anything!!!!

Save your box--mod it. If you screw it up with the knife, you think the warranty won't be voided????
