My Ps2 keeps freezing up on me I push the reset or eject button and nothing happens. The screen just stays locked in the same way and the music gets stuck on a loop and ocassionally the ps2 makes weird noises while doing this. Its driving me insane i've already taken it to be repaired once and that did nothing. They readjusted the laser arm and cleaned it and I'm no closer to playing games trouble free. Its a fat PS2 with a modbo modchip. Before the modchip I had no problems could it be the modchip messing it up?

Thanks In Advance

If you are in the USA then send it to Teammodders.com
Anyone who just cleans the laser and adjusts it, something anyone can easily do themselves, and calls themself a repair shop is a joke.
The mod chip being the problem is always possible. The Modbo is not a very good chip anyway. Was the chip installed by the same "repair" shop as the one who cleaned and adjusted the laser, which by the way has absolutly nothing to do with the problem you have. Cleaning and adjusting the laser is good for fixing about 2 things.
1. disc read errors
2. problems with disc playback like skipping.

Unfourtunetly I'm down under in Australia. The Chip was installed by the same people who I took it to, to be repaired. Any more help or advice on this would be great

I think all you have to do is get Laser replaced.

Only advice i can give you is try a real repair place that handles your area like http://www.cyber-mag.com/station/index.html

Bet you didn't think i would know an Aussie site did ya, LOL

Thanks For the Help I contacted the repair shop and they said they would fix the problem free of charge. I'll give them another go after all its free. If it doesnt fix it i'll take it to the other mob you reccommended.

Glad to hear they are at least standing behind their work. That is rare these days. Hopefully they can get you all fixed up and running again.
