Default Disc drive "Laser radiation when open"



"Eric Cire" wrote in message
...
I'm thinking of opening up my old Playstation 2 console as I get constant
"disc read error" and so been looking at this repair guide video and
noticed on top of the Ps2 DVD drive it says a warning "Laser radiation
when open" so my question is:

Is there any laser radiation risk when the console/drive is turned off and
unplugged?


Absolutely not.

Even with the drive plugged in and powered up, it's essentially a laser
pointer, just don't stare directly into it.
