No, He’ll definitely want to torture the DVD laser, not the CD laser. Will it try to play a DVD-R DVD movie at all? Anyway, get it so full of fingerprints that FMV’s skip like crazy and let it go… I love to torture stations myself!!

It's been running for a day so far without issue, so I hope I have a good laser.

I did try a DVD-R (crappy princo media) movie a couple of days after I got the unit and and it read it no probs.

Data discs tend to give the PS2's a harder time.

Don't do too much at it

Day 2 and still good. I might just run it for one more day and then call it quits. For the last day, I'm going to use one of my DVD-R movies on repeat. Do something different.

If it survives, it should prove that my laser is pretty good. If I am going to have problems, it should die within this soak test period. Am I right?

Does the Matrix Infinity actually cause more pressure on the laser, or is this only due to the media that is going to be used. I only use Ritek G04 media, which is supposed to be the best.

I want to make sure of everything before I make the jump and void the warranty. Actually, I wonder if there is a way to safely remove the seal and then reapply it...

I think the prob is peeps flashing the chip after fitting it to a v12, I've had no probs flashing in a v9 then refitting it to a v12.
