If you mod your PS2 and it plays backups OK from the word go, it should remain trouble-free. However, as the PS2 laser is "on the edge" of being just powerful enough to read originals, moded PS2s sometimes have a bit of trouble reading certain backups. The way around this is to increase the power of the laser. It is THIS that can screw up your PS2 and burn out the laser.
If you don't do this power-increase, and put up with backups taking a bit longer to load than normal (due to something called spin-down) or often totally failing to load, this can seriously screw up the drive mechanism over time.
Answer is simple, use good media.

Its not actually the modchip that screws up your Playstation (unless the installation goes wrong), its playing the copied games.
The laser is designed to play normal DVD or normal CD games and if you start playing copied ones it has to adjust to the disk type. Youre making the laser work harder to read the copied games so eventually it gets nackered and it starts going funny.

Something that'll allow you to play import or copied games by stopping the signal from the CPU to stop phoney games playing.
Its also a new chip from McCain.
