??? You mean the firmware?

Have you tried cleaning/adjusting the laser?

Here's a link to the lastest flash: http://www.dms3.com/dms3/files/chips/DMS3_Flash_Upgrades/dms_upgr...

Make sure your firmware is up to date. Try cleaning the laser with a Q-tip and rubbing Alcohol.

Yeah I don't really know too much about DMS3, not sure if it runs off ToxicOS or the DMS flash to load backups. Sounds like the type of thing that could a loose solder point, hard to explain why it reads everything but DVD backup games. Try cleaning the laser with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol and double check your wiring.

the guy that installed it said it was my lens and that i should buy one from ebay and he'll install it for free, does that sound right?

A bit premature for that, did you try cleaning your laser yet?

Can you link me to the install guide you used? Do you have a US NTSC based system? Have you verified the connection of your wires?
