I bought a PS2 of ebay about 3 months ago and I planned on putting in a mod chip. So about 2 week ago I ordered a Magic 5 50k for my PS2 V9. By the way I got my mod chip from modchipstore.com and I shipped within 4 days.
Anyways I tried installing the mod and I was unsuccessful, so I decided to cut my losses with the mod and just remove the solder and wires. When my PS2 was reassembled, without the mod, it won't boot up. I know the power source is good because the red stand by mood light will come on and the tray will eject, but the disk isn't spinning. I've listened closly to where I put the disk in a for a brief sec. and it sounds like it's trying to spin but it won't.
If I could get any feedback from anyone, especially fly_low i would appreciate it.
Should I send it in to get it repaired?

Check make sure that there are no bridges where you soldered your connections.

ok i'll try what you guys said,
but is there any possibility that static affected anything on the motherboard? Would replacing the motherboard with a refurbished one be smart>>??
i'll get back to you quickly

when you say "check all the wires" what exactly do you mean?
Also the reason I am in such a rush is because my modchip warrenty time is running out and if I end up needing to buy a new PS2 it is unlikely I will find the same version so I will probally need to exchange my Magic 5 50k.
Bye the way, my cousin has a "disk read error" PS2.
Is there any way I could swap parts with him to test to see what's wrong with my PS2 or would the whole "not the right version" thing take place.
I know there is either something wrong with my motherboard, the Disk reader or the connection wires between them.
Also, what determines the version of something?
I thought is was just the motherboaded and every thing else was pretty compatible.
Thx

I had the same problem with my ps2 but mine is a v5 and the chip is a Magis v so I don't know if the mother board is the same.My problem was that i had solder the wires in the back where they wher sopposed to be and I had not notice but one of the copper squares i solder to had lifted and broke.The wirer going there was the letter (D). I fixed that copper square and its fine now. but I still have one more problem to figure out know I don't have picture or sound but you can here the ps2 load and everything.
