Most of the PS2 sold here already came premodded, so there's no need for u to spend more for new mod chip.

i just took my ps2 to the shop and the guy said to repair the head will cost 380 and to fix the id thingy will be another 150! I dont know if i'm getting conned or what here. what do you guys think?

Please mentioned your PS2 model wether 3000 or 5000 series...
Last time i've send my Ps2 to tot31 for lens replacement and was charged for RM 300 not RM 380, pretty good job siap dgn tuning. Certail models have other problems other than the lens or modchip like the 5000 series. ( i think LBA chip..correct if i'm wrong! ).

Basically kalau mahal sangat..buy a new slim ps2 console and since probably some of the older stuffs like controller and memory card is usable..just buy only the console..cheaper!

I've got a refurbished NTSC/UC PS2 70012 and it has an MI 1.38 modchip which i believed is clone. It cant play some of the "ahem" dvd's which does not correspond to Region 1...for i belived that some of those are not region free.

Dear all,

I will be purchasing a 3-4 year old fat PS2 from a forumer, he says that it is playing CDs, DVD movies and DVD games fine.

Problem here is, he doesn't know what mod chip it uses and I don't wanna end up with a troublesome machine.

Does anyone have any poitners for me on what to check for the PS2?

Thanks.

If he sells for RM 200..by all means get it coz 4 years is lot long years for PS2 lens and if those lens dies after u bought, you've to forked out nearly RM 300 to have it replaced.

Backup copy? I am ssuimg you are saying all the 'ahem' games. Accordingto him, just put CD in then can play.

So any pointers or things I should keep an eye when inspecting the machine?
*
If for RM 200..just do a quick grab...if more asked nicely to test it out. Hook it up to the tv, test the cd tray, test the av out, the memory card and the controller port wether those still working or not. The utmost important thing is to test some game especially DVD 9 base game like GT4 or God Of War..does it hang or does the drive makes awful sound that could probably spells for a dying lens. Remember lens are the most problematic occurance happened on the PS2 and those fat PS2 lens cost RM 300 to replace.

Just wanna ask, I've noticed my PS2 seem to have problems loading games. I'm currently playing Star Ocean III and sometimes I need to reset 2-3 times for it to load (either shows black screen or the red screen with message- Please insert DVD game). It occurs randomly, but I'm worried if the laser's wearing off. Bought it late December 2004, but the previous owner kept watching DVD movies with the PS2 for 4 months or so..and I heard it's not advisable to watch movies with the PS2 right?

What is the price range to change a new laser? Not a heavy PS2 user, only play about 3 times a week, max 3 hours per play. Any advice would be much appreciated smile.gif

For older models 3000 to 5000 series cost ~ RM 300 and for the slim series around ~ RM 150...the lens for the older series though are refurbished/recon unit while for the slim series mostly are brand new.

Whoa, for older models it'll cost RM300 and they aren't even new? Mine's 50006 I think..I bought my PS2 for RM600, and if the laser's gonna cost half I might as well get another set?
*
Yeap..that's my point. Send my PS2 50006 for repair to tot31 for around RM 300 and sold it for RM 500...and bought myself a slim PS2.

Just to reconfirm.. when i boot tales of legendia DVD  it say please insert Ps or ps2 game with a  red screen behind. Something like that. So thats read disc error message? Scare scare to try yet.And is there anyone already tested it and succeed?
*
Try some other games..if it works probably u've got some older modchip..just remodded with a new chip. If those other games didnt worked, probably dead lens.
