This may seem odd, but this happened to my friend and all he did was hit the back of his PS2 and it works!

swap magic doesn't ruin your PS2
that is a load of bull pucky
i have used it on my V7 since the old 2.0 version (years)
and it still loads everything fine. Except for any of those blue bottom disc, but it never did read those well.

All back up's stress out the laser a little more than originals
will. But if you use top quality media then you should be fine.
it is those people who use cheap crappy media who have the
most problems

i figure they just need an excuse
they most likely used cheap media and it stressed
out their laser.

OMG! did he just say the words Memorex AND DVD+R in one sentance? LOL

If you want to talk about facts, here's a few :
A. Memorex DVD's are crap, they f*ck up your ps2's laser
B. In general, DVD+R kill your laser faster
C. Cocky people who think they know everything usually don't receive any help from other members

Hopefully, these handy facts where of some use to you :D

Well, as for the single dot on the main menu..All you have to do is go into the clock from the browser, and keep trying to reset the clock and exit out of clock options..does this until the dots start spinning in the clock options and your be fine..everytime i install a chip the dot always stop spinning until i do the clock trick..doesnt affect game play.but you want your clock set right..
