I have a playstation 2 slim version and i use swap disk to boot dvd-r games (dvd+r rarely works) and i didnt want to mod it out cause of the laser blowout issues. Anyways once it gets warmed up after an hr or so it stops reading dvd-rs all together, after it cools off it will read them again, but while it is hot it will read regular ps2 games, any suggestions would be helpful.

All I can suggest is play the system in an open area so it gets good ventilation. If it only does it with burned games I would say the problem resides in the mod chip.

yeah i would say it was the mod chip but i use the swap disc on it. i will read the swap magic disc on it but has very hard time reading dvd + or - r's after it gets warm

Oh I misunderstood. It is really hard to say what the problem could be without me looking at the system. It could be a motherboard or laser eye issue, maybe even both. Sorry I could not be much help.

what type symptoms was associated with laser burnout during the ealry stages of the slim ps2 modding?
