Topic	PS2 hardware is such garbage (Specifically the lasers)

Now the laser on this one seems to be dying because games are stuttering and laser seems to be trying really hard, making noises to read discs. If it's making a grinding noise at start up or when it's trying to read a disc, then it's likely the laser assembly slipping on the worm drive. This is a pretty easy fix if you're comfortable opening the system up. Usually all you need to do is adjust the laser assembly until it can engage the worm drive. Yellow posted... Might as well mod it to do backups tbh That's the great thing about fat PS2s, they're really easy to softmod. The hardest part is sourcing an IDE hard drive or an IDE to SATA adapter, but once you got the hardware, it's really simple to set up. <cite>ToastyPOP posted [p:971874970] in PS2 hardwa...
