Suggestions Please!
Hey everyone,

I have a V1 PS2 with a NEO2.5 swap installed. I had it since May 2001. Sometimes it does not read very well my dvd-rs (does not boot). But all of my dvd-rs work but whenever the ps2 wants to. I am thinking of replacing the mod to a non-swap. Should I change my PS2 version too? I want the best choice so that I do not have to worry about my ps2 having reading problems forever! Any suggestions on what should I do?

Peace,
Nino

Changing your mod won't help your laser issues. V1s suck. You are best off buying a new premodded system.

i would say modchipan is too slow and there isnt a lot of mod chips avaliable. i would personaly get it done by www.norcalmods.com as they have had very good reviews.

if you are located in the us then u can go for norcalmods. modchip man takes 5-7 days to ship the premod just to make sure it has no faults then shipping is super fast! if u want a dms3 i wud still say go modchipman!

If it's having a hard time reading discs, sell it and move up... V4 lasers are usually crap - I guess I just landed lucky with my V4R

Is it true that V4 Ps2s have 50/50 chance of reading DVD-Rs when modded? Should i go ahead with my V4 and change my old swap mod with a no-swap?

your right i did have a warranty still. but isn't it cheaper to just buy the newer laser for the version one then to buy a whole new system.

I have a V4 not V1.

But let's say that I need to replace my laser for my V4 PS2, what laser should it be replaced with? What's the average price?
