Laser going bad??

[shawn]

I have a V4 PS2, with out a mod chip. I bought it used for a 100 bucks a year ago. Original PS2 games work fine, but dvd-r movies, and audio cd's do not work. (I've never tried a psx game) When I put these in, it says "disc read error." It's even done it with working original PS2 games that will later work--but this is rare. So I'm assuming the laser is going. I would like to sell it on ebay and buy a nice, new, pre-modded V7, but I don't want it to break in the near future for ever I sell it to. So what do you guys think I should do? Just sell it as it, or get a new laser put it or somethin?
