Hiya, I posted here a while ago to find out why my ps2 keeps freezing dduring loading screens... Meanwhile I took it back to the place I got the Magic3 mod and they said "well maybe it's your dvd laser getting old" which is BS since its probably had less than 30hr played on it total and its never been used for DVDs. Anyway they said they adjusted the DVD and CD laser strength a bit which worried me. I asked them if this would diminish the life of the drive but they said it was just a fractional change, nothing to worry about.

So yeh, I assumed it had worked but the games kept freezing... the funny thing is it is never during a game, on in loading screens or location changes (eg. moving from one are to another in a game). This freezing occurs in originals as well as back ups and generally occurs about 30min to an hour after beginning a game.

I really doubt that it is a laser problem and the machine doesn't feel hot at all after freezing so I cant imagine it's overheating.

Any inputs appreciated, I'm taking the machine back to them tomorrow to get them to check it out again. I'm off to Japan in a months time so I want it working fine for my whole stay there.

Regards,

Marcus Ford.
