How much damage...

Hey, Can i ask how much damage do you think a Neo chip will have done to my ps2 in 2 years?

I want to get a new one but can't afford a new ps2 to get it chipped.
Could i get this one rechipped and not have any problems?
And if i would have problems what would they be?

CD/DVD Drive break or something? If it is that could i get a new drive fitted and not have problems?

2 years? Most people's lasers would have already died in that time. You could mod what you have but very soon you will need a replacement laser, as you shouldn't have much life left. You can get one from www.modchip-sbox.com. I personally would sell your ps2 as is with a few games and just buy a new ps2.

Nope, any chips aside from neo's are harmless.

No mate they won't, unless you get another crappy Neo chip!

If you want to get your console chipped, get a no swap chip like a Messiah 2 or the new DMS3 chip, which I hear is very good. Whatever you do, AVOID Magic chips like the plague as they have difficulty with some very popular titles, e.g.: GTA: Vice City etc... and clone versions of Messiah chips etc... as they are not as good a quality and will ruin your pleasure. So you can't go wrong with an authentic Messiah 2 or DMS3 chip.

Hope this helps...

For what it's worth...

I got a PS2 ... a year and a half ago, close to two years now.

It's a version 4 - GT3 edition.

Immediately installed a Neo2.5+DVD in it.

Have used it ... not extensively but moderately ... in that time.

Recently switched the Neo for an Apple.

All games, including DVD+R copies, run flawlessly.

Luck of the draw, that's all it is.

P.S. Anyone who can hook me up cheaply with a laser for when this crappy V4 finally goes... pm me!
