Slowly Dying

[devilchild]

This is gonna be kinda long... But please bare with me.. Cos i need help.

About a year and a half ago I got my playstation 2 chipped with a Neo 2.. I think its that anyways... Definately an old version neo chip anyways... Now My Playstation 2 is struggling to play Original Dvds. It plays "predator special Edition" Fine... But It doesn't Play Spiderman or any of my other movies. Which i found wierd. My games run fine... Both Dvd games and CD games.. Although The playstation is being a little noisey...(is that normal) Its not making a HELL of a lot of noise... Just the odd sound... Like dreamcast used to make? Anyways... Back on topic =) Do you think my ps2 is starting to die? Because of the chip.. Iv been told it happens.. And now after a year and a half... Do you think its run its course?
If I get the chip removed... Will the damage get any worse? Obviously it wont FIX it... to remove it... Damage is probably done.. But removing it... Will that stop any more damage? Because im fine with it not running dvd movies.. Because i have a dvd player for that... I just don't want my original Ps2 games to stop running... Thanks for any help.

And sorry If what i've said is just one big Ramble. =)
