Is my ps2 dying or is it already dead?

Cheers for the advice, wot u said about the macrovision might b right, cos the macrovision was still on it, I didn't install it myself it was one of my dads mates, proper electrician guy one of those people that can fix nearly ne thing wit a circuit board, I am throwing it up to him 2morro to take a look at it and hopefully it will b fixable. The only reason I got all these damned chips in it is cos my dad does them and the games, purely regretting it now.

2 questions if it is the laser will a version 4 really work and will it b just a replacment small lens? (off lik-sang)
