Which modchip are straineous on the lens?

[calt_76]

I heard Magic & Apple modchips will kill your lens faster. Is this true? Can charlie_ps2 help to list all modchips with direct-boot? This will help a lot. Thanks.

Also I just bought my new PS2 SCPH-39006 NTSC/J with direct boot. I doubt that my modchip is a Messiah 2 Pro. So how do I identify what modchip I have inside without opening my system and void the shop's warranty.

It boots all PS2 games (DVD5/9, CD) at the browser without pressing RESET. Boots DVD movies and PS games by putting the disc in the system first, turn off and hold RESET until it powers up to boot. Also, AR2 doesn't boot any games with/without codes for DVD medium. ARMAX does function but not reliably.

Please help. Thanks.
