ps2 very noisy when playing backup

[ihaveanosebleed]

I also noticed the same thing. Verbatims also make a lot of
noise. My DVD rip of GTA3 is the WORST, constant noise, I
don't dare play it!!! It seems to depend on the game itself
and how much it accesses the drive but games like GTA3 are
freaking ridiculous!! That has got to be hard on the laser!!

Also BLUE originals are pretty loud, Crash Wrath of Cortex
had me thinking my PS2 was messed up.

PS2 DVD games are much quieter. I donno about DVD-R's

I got bigger problems than noisy backups, my NEO Key kept
getting worse and worse, not booting CD's. Last time I
tried 45 friggin' minutes and I can't get a backup to
boot, not even a PS1!!

I think I need to replace my capacitor. Anyone know
about the "clicking" you are supposed to get if you don't
have a cap? When a backup fails, it always clicks -
even without the NEO key cuz I tried just to see if it
sounds different. I also tried to add the resistor, that
didn't work at all! When a backup fails it sounds the same
to me with or without a cap, or NEO Mod at all.
