Neo 2.2 Capacitor And Resistor
Well, I know that neo 2.2 will burn the laser of my ps2. I have 3 questions:
1. If I use the neo only for playing psx backups, psx originals and ps2 originals, does the neo still burn my laser????? 2. Is there any way to prevent 100% the problem with the laser?? or to prevent at least 50% 3. I read somewhere that I can use a capacitor and a resistor to fix the problem, But I don't know the value of the capacitor and the value of the resistor; Can anybody tell me these values?? SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH, I'M NOT FROM USA

1. Yes the Neo will still harm your laser regardless of what backup games you play on it.... 2. No.... You cannot prevent the damage 100%..... You can slow down the damage... 3. Yes..... Installing the capacitor/resistor will SLOW down the damage it will do to your PS2 BUT it will not PREVENT it..... It will only slow it down.... I'm not 100% sure about the values, but I will do some looking and see what I can find about them... Edit: The value of everything I found on it is: 1uf capacitor

Only using the PS2 for CD copies and PSX/PS2 originals... will still wreck your laser, just a teensy bit slower.
Now, on the Neo2.5+DVD, the damage seems to happen MUCH slower if that's all you use it for (my laser is still in top-notch condition despite a year or more of moderate use for PSX copies and PS2 CD copies and DVD originals). But seriously - if you're willing to open the box up and solder in resistors and capacitors... just spend a few bucks and get a new chip, huh? - Gurm

fitted with capacitors and if u got a good laser u should be ok
but i still recomend a messiah i had v4 with neo2 plus capicotor ,1 year later i swapped it for messia1,1 1/2 years later ps2 still works dvdr will only read better brands ,thats a total of 2 1/2 years and the laser still ok ps others have killed there laser in a few months only 1uf capacitor is a must

Yes, definitely. The old maxim YMMV applies here:
Your Mileage May Vary. Basically you COULD stretch things out, but then again you might be unlucky, have a particularly crap laser, and burn it in a week. Who knows? If it were me, instead of spending $10 on parts and an hour fiddling with it, I'd spend $25 on a nice shiny new chip (Apple, for example) and an hour fiddling with it... since lasers are pricey. - Gurm
