(the lens coils are the electro-magnets that lifts or pulls the lens closer or further from the disk). This is when an internal controller on the PS2 motherboard freezes and causes the lens coils to melt. There are 2 ways that the lens can be damaged. If you have it done by a professional, then yes.

Last + or - 3500 hours on the DVD side and 15000 on CD. The more games you play or the more movies you watch the quicker the Laser will go. This is a difficult question to answer because every person uses his or her console differently. if someone offers to install a Matrix Infinity for R 400.00 - R 700.00 you can be 100% certain that it'll be a clone. Chips like the Mod-Bo, Myth & Infinity chip are all clones of the Matrix Infinity and are not half as reliable. Lately the Matrix Infinity has been the target of cheap rip-offs. Reason why we stopped doing the Messiah and the Magic mod-chips all together. The original of these 2 chips weren't bad chips at all, but since most people tend to go for theĬheaper option every one started purchasing the clones rather than the originals. Names in PS2 mod-chips affected by clones are the Magic and Messiah chips. The problem with some chips are that they do not switch offĪt all, and this type of interference can cause irreparable laser damage. If you have a decent Mod-Chip installed by a professional then NO, but keep in mind that unfortunately there are a lot of cheap cloned chips out there
