warlock..every time the chip "forced" the tray open, you could hear (across the room even) the laser firing away looking for a disc. right until you put a disc in and the tray is closed again.

We get many many ....many people sending in the EBgames refurbished PS2's, they normally work very well. The only concern I would have would be it you end up with a v1-v4.

Actually, the one in question is from ebay, which is why I'm more skeptical.

lol, It depends on which boot disc you are using. Some older GS2's, 1.93 thru 2.15 i think, would stop the disc from spining so it wouldnt have this problem. I have seen the tray eject so hard it would jam it open sometimes even slinging the front tray clip off lol.

I've also bought refurbs from eBay and I mooded it with an Infinity. I then sold this to my friend, and it hasn't had one single problem. Just because it's eBay, doesn't mean it's dodgy. If you take your time to look at the sellers reputation and whether he's sold any in the past, you'll be fine...
