Don't know if this will help anyone. Most of you will already know this, but I have been struggling with a V5 ps2 playing PS2 backups that work in other versions of PS2. Once I have installed the chip, I was testing them without having the top case on, guess what! put the top case on and hey presto, no problem reading disk. must just be not quite dark enough for good reflectivity on DVD-R. It maybe that some of us (not the guys that have done it regular) are testing them this way.
