My neighbor has a V5 with the no-solder/swap magic discs setup. This PS2 will not boot any dvd-r games anymore. It will boot original games though. When doing the swap method with the discs it seems that the PS2 takes forever to open/close the tray to exchange discs. What i also found out is that it will play dvd-r movies with out any problems. I posted a thread a while back on this and was suggested that it might be the lazer going out. But could it be the no-solder chip since it boots dvd-r movies? It would seem that if it boots the dvd-r movie it should boot the dvd-r game.
