Hey guys, my ps2 has been giving problems recently. It's a 5XXXX series, 50002 if i'm not mistaken, dunno whats the importance of it anyway, yeah call me newb

I havent touched it for almost 2 months and i started gaming again now. Since i bought until 2 months ago it was working fine, except 8 out of 10 times it gives RSOD. But still can play, just have to tolerate resetting it over and over again.

In this recent 1 week, the first few days can play w/o problem, but suddenly the thing cannot read disc anymore.

I tried that 3 step method, testing CD and DVD movie, nothing happen. So it's correct to assume the lens is gone? But why? It was working the day before !!
I tried PS2 games also, cannot work. Any ideas wat happened? And where is the cheapest place to repair it?

Also, what causes RSOD? Lousy modchip? I bought my PS2 about 1.5 years ago in Singapore. Gee, maybe i kena con.

Wowoww thanks so much... Whats LA chip?

I just want a modchip that can play u-know-wat games. Whats the price range and cheapest model?

SELF DESTRUCT? OMG !

Adoi.. why oh why was my PS2 a 5k series. So how much would it cost to change the LA chip + labour? And also a decent modchip tat can play you-know-wat games?

How much would that be? Thanks man..

How much does the lens cost itself for a FAT PS2 5xxxx and where can i buy it to DIY? Also any guides to fix it?
