    ok a frend of mine somehow compleatley fired there ps2's motherboard so I bought a new one off ebay to repair it for them

    now here is the problem
    when you put in a disk at first it will make 3 clicking sounds wile spinning a little then it stops THEN after a little wile it starts spinning and then IT WILL! boot the disk

    so what is causeing this odd behavior and how do I fix it?

    as a note this is a compleatley unmodded console

    If system is V1-4 dead laser or almost (need new laser/diode) or need cog ajustment if drive has shifted.

    if V5-8 laser culd be starting to die(need new laser/diode) or needs cog ajustment

    V9-11 if it has no romeo mod or has gone for a long time without mod DVD diode culd be damaged(need new laser/diode) or yet agen cog adjustment.

    V12 with no fix .. same as v9-11

    can we get some more info?

    it terns out that the person i bought it from off ebay lied about the laser type the board used and I was foolish enoth to take him at good fath till I checked up on it yesterday

    a quick flash with ps2lenschanger took care off all my problems
