Ok, I need a serious answer here:
About a year ago, my modded PS2 (w/ Messiah 2) began to boot backups much less frequently, and when they did boot, video and audio were sometimes choppy. The problem worsened until I could get NOTHING to boot except a few burned PSOne games and a DVDRip of DoDonPachi Daioujyou. I have quite a large library, and tested almost 100 games. No dice. At the time, I thought it was basically a brick. I bought a new modded PS2, and thought no more of it.
Recently, I had to sell my new PS2 in an emergency financial situation, so my thoughts went back to the "broken" PS2. To anyone who knows a little about the console--might this just be a laser problem, and would buying a new laser assembly + replacing it fix the problem if so? If that is the case, how difficult/complex of a job would it be to replace it? I'd really like to get it up and running again; buying another modded PS2 really isn't financially feasible for me right now.
