PS2 Gone Kaput already??

[seaneyb2003]

check the laser could be worn out from hardcore gaming

[skykid]

How can this be? I have only had it for less than a month....

Do backed up CD-R or DVD-R mash up the laser that fast?

I can't open the thing because it has been sealed with stickers from the person that fitted the chip.

if you use crappy media it will, what kind of media are you using?

For the DVD games i use Ritek RiDisc G04 Dye DVD-R or Sometimes Ritek RiData...these work fine, and smooth.

But, when using the CD-R it doesn't feel right, it sounds like the laser makes a high pitch squeal when reading, but it worked with all but the last copy and the Laser Cleaner, which is supposed to act as a playstation disc.

The media i have been using are these Philips CD R80 52x and thats all i know about them...oh and they have a light colour on the reading surface so they arn't dark like verbatim's.

Ok so if it is the media which is the best and where can i get it from in the UK?

Also should i get the laser swapped under warrenty anyway if it happens to be crappy media, as it may have done some damage?

I have seen this media as it maybe the problem

What do you think?

Back media is pretty crap. Get some light blue dyed discs and you'll be fine

Hi lufcfan,

i already have some light blue cd-r's from Phillips but they make my PS2 laser make a dodgy noise whilst reading, so what CD-R's do you use?

And what about them Dark Verbatim's? Or TraxData? and there's these Ritek RiData CD-R's.

Please Help!!!
