Try tweaking the laser.

seaneyb2003 is an unknown quantity at this point
go on www.divineo.co.uk and get a replacement laser. Or it will prob be cheaper 2 go to game and get a preowned console.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies

@bighap, what do you mean by tweaking it? Is there anything I can do to the current laser to enable it to read backups properly?

@seaneyb2003, yeah £20 for a laser unit there.. Probably £10 for a modded PSX w/ games on eBay hehe...

I Googled some info on tweaking lasers to read certain other discs (like CDR/RW) but I can't say I'm too happy doing it. Unless there is any other way other than taking the console apart and strengthening the lasers beam I don't want to go down that route

I guess I got unlucky and got a not-so-great-for-backups version of a Playstation.
