Strange Clicking noise in ps2......

oops scratch that

I thought I had a v4 b/c of the serial being U5.... I didn't check the SCPH. My SCPH is 39001. This means that my ps2 is a v7 right? If so, should I change the laser since this laser is supposed to be pretty good? I don't really want to buy a whole new system cuz of the modchip and also the mod that I had done to it (Blinking PS2 light ).

Warlock: Thanks for the link. I was considering sending my ps2 to newagepsx (they installed my mod and chip), but now I can consider sending it to the other guy. What do you think?

edit----

Now I figured out my ps2 will work when I leave the cover off . Otherwise if I put it on the ps2 won't read the discs...... Also every so often I need to tinker with the laser cover thing (Black cover that says Sony on the laser). Also I play with the screw next to it that lifts the laser up and down. In what way would changing the height affect the read, will raising it increase the laser's intensity or whatever and lowering it decreases? This is still a laser problem though right? Thanks!

I have another question that most likely is due to my laser, but I just want to be sure.

I recently got my copy of Naruto 2 (Damn happy!) I made a backup of it, and it works. However there are some issues where it skips every so often, but it's very subtle. I tried my original, and it does so as well, but in different spots. This is most likely a laser issue right? The skipping and also sometimes the lock ups. Just need to make sure it's not the game! Thanks!

That could be due to either a bad original, in which the bad parts were copied to your backup. Or your laser is having problems like mentioned above.




Tyler!
