I’m looking for some bad V1-4 lasers to do some experiments on. If anyone would like to donate please PM. Also if anyone knows where to get technical data on the laser IC chip used in these versions as well if the chip was manufactured in a vacuum or any special gas.

I’m the kind of person that doesn’t like to see anything go to waste, and I figure there’s a hell of a lot of older PS2’s out there going to waste, perfectly good except for one junk component. It’s a kick it the teeth for any PS2 owner to have to spend a fortune replacing Sony’s defective lasers with another. You could buy 2 complete stand alone DVD Players from Wallmart for the retail price of Sony’s replacement lasers, and I think that is ridiculous. That just goes to show you how much Sony values their customers, they don’t!

A question I ask myself time and time again, where are the third party lasers? I would think the demand is very great. Imagine a third party company release a Laser replacement that works better, reads all media including RW’s, just like your $40 wall mart players and at a reasonable price. The Playstation community would be in frenzy for such a replacement!

PS2 owners got the shaft from Sony. It’s time another company saved these machines.
