PS2 Laser replacement

We've been given a slim PS2 by a friend and although I have no interest in Playstations (I'm a Nintendo fan for over 25 years) I thought I could give it to my kids to keep them quiet.

Only problem is the Laser is dead.

I know they are not very expensive, but how easy are they to replace.

I'm pretty good at taking things apart and I'm a skilled engineer so it's not a case of not having the skills to do it, but is it worth it, or could I buy a working 2nd hand unit for the price of the laser and time to replace it?

    Pretty sure you can pick up a 2nd hand one for less than £20 nowadays. The lasers can be found on ebay for less than a tenner! check the ps2 version you have first tho!
    Useful is beautiful
