sounds like you need to have the lens adjusted. Basically lasers tend to lose some power after it is used for a while, and there\'s a mechanism inside the ps2 that is used to adjust it. There\'s a bunch of faqs on how to this out there, but if you\'ve got money, i\'d say take it to somewhere that\'d actually know what they\'re doing. I\'ve personally adjusted my lens a while back, and its working fine. Mine by the way is the first gen JAP model.
