Question about PS2 model numbers

[sirplayalot]

Hey guys. I got a question about the PS2 model numbers. If i have a PS2 that has a model number SCHP-30001 R and bought a ps2 with a model number SCHP-30001 (no r) and swithced the mainboards (mine is broken ) would it make a difference in the system?

Thx in advance

Why would you even switch boards if you bought a new one?

Oh sorry. Forgot to add that the one im thinking of buying has a broken laser. But nothing is wrong with mainboard

Why not use the new system you bought instead?

why dont you take your working laser and replace that instead of trying to replace the whole board

If you just "bought" one and its broke, won't the store exchange it for you?

 

[sirplayalot]

all diff model numbers take different parts. i have a SCHP-30001 R V5 PS2. i just want to know if i buy anything other that will all the parts..co-op or work with eachother?..i dont want to buy a different PS2 and have the parts not work if they are different model numbers..

IIRC the R means it has the firmware for the remote control so you don't need to put the drivers on the mem card.
