What kills the laser ain't the m2Pro chip. It's cheap crappy media that people use for their back-ups.

Although cheaper cdr's an dvd-r's read okay they will strain yr ps2 laser by working it harder and seriously reducing the life span of it.

I learned this the hard way by running my version 5 into retirement using gash bulk unbranded cdr's.

Now use Verbatim Datalife Plus cdr and Traxdata 4X dvd-r an they work perfect.
