umm no...this may fix 10% or so of the DRE on a PS2. The other 90% have to be fixed by calibrating the laser...turning 2 screws slowly on the motherboard...one for CD one for DVD...etc... |
This has fixed 2 of my PS2's and one of my friend's PS2's. That is 3 out of the 3 that I have tried it on. Man, what are the chances of that? Like 1 out of 1000 right? Obviously I must just be the luckiest guy on earth, right? |
Thats prety lucky actually. I modded well over 20 ps2's for my freinds in my college days as well as repaired(or tried to repair) atleast as many... Most of the PS2's DRE problems come from the fact that not enough voltage goes to the laser to read the disks. Most of the time CD disks don't work first but DVD's still work then later go DVD's as well. In any case, to fix that one must push more voltage to the laser by adjusting the voltage screws on the motherboard...but too much voltae will not work either so its a very delicate process of trun screw 25 degrees...test...turn again...test again... That was the DRE issue on a PS2...otherwise having a dirty laser can happen to any system out there...which is where that product helps and can be used on PS1, PS2, xbox, 360, any movie DVD player etc... |
I have seen my friend do this to his PS2 so I know what you are talking about. He messed with the position of the laser too. I really haven't seen any research done to give specific numbers on the subject, so I think it is difficult to make any bold percentage claims either way without some kind of hard numbers to back them up. |
::shrug:: Well, I had 3 PS2s replaced because of DRE. I would clean my lens, that was not the problem. I'd have to open up my PS2s and adjust the angle the tray would hold the disk to fix the problem. But after a while the problem would return, and eventually the angle adjustment didn't work anymore. I had read that the power was another cause of the problem, but I wasn't going to mess with the power. So thats when I'd replace my PS2s, when the disk adjustment wouldn't work anymore.
