What the HELL is in my PS2?

were did u get the ps2

I bought it used off some kid in Richmond. I still find it weird that the PS2 warranty sticker was still on there.

But my laser is still fine if it plays DVDs?

It looks to be a v3 PS2. Its hard to tell from the picture but it looks like its a 5 wire install. If so the EA swap method (Hold reset for 5 sec then release to eject tray) wont work. It should load PSX backups no swap but you will need A GS2 or AR2 to load the PS2 cd-r games. Dvd-r backups wont load with this setup.
As mentioned earlier Neo chips will destroy the laser. If it was mine i would take it out and get a Duo2se or something.

As forthe warranty sticker.. He may have lined it up again with the void portions that were stuck on the console after the initial removal.. It doesn't look absolutely perfect but if you weren't examining it close up you could miss it.. That or he just may have had access (or his mod installer) to warranty stickers.

or he could have used the old Hair Dryer trick...

also i would like to say i have a v4 machine with the neo2.2 using ar2 v1.93 and it is still going strong boots everything and plays all games , so i must be one of the lucky ones and also my friends that had it done from the same place at the same time so they must be lucky as well , but i do have anew machine with the messiah 2 pro as i got fed up with doing the swap disc , but my bro use's my old machine all the time and like i said still going strong like when i got it boots everytime , nothing replaced same old laser same old everything but get a no swap mod chip as it does get on ur nerves after a time.
