Hey folks,
I have a PS2 I modded some time ago with removed Macrovision, which is the only reason I keep it around. I just love watching movies in pure RGB, and as far as I know there is no other cost effective solution for this with US players.
So when the lens was dying I did a laser swap a few wees ago. It worked fine for a while but wouldn't read my copied DVDs, so I adjusted the pots on that laser. After that nothing will read, even with 2 new lasers I have tried. I'm wondering if the motherboard/controller got damaged or something. Or is it really that common that the lasers off Ebay don't work? I tried a KHS-400B and KHS-400C from different sellers.
Any ideas much appreciated. Video outputs and everything fine, so I'm uber confused. The laser swap is really straight forward, it just isn't taking it. Almost considering buying a whole new system and doing the mod again...but that's no fun.
