I really need help! I have a ps2 version SCPH 50001N (I bleieve its v10 or 11) came with network adapter and I recently tried installing a basic solid black colored flip top with swap magic ver 3.3 I think from customps2.com I had trouble unscrewing the 2 tiny screws on the cd tray so i simply pulled the tray out. Then I yanked the screws out after the tray was gone because i dont think i need to rescrew them. I then put the flip top on with the original ps2's white disc installed in the flip top's.
I noticed that the flip top didnt open completely when pressing the button. It gets stuck everytime and I have to open it all the way manually. I then put the ver. 3.3 dvd in powered it on with the reset button. Then, the ps2 makes this horrible, loud spinning noise throughout the loading process. When prompted, I then put in a backup of raw vs. smackdown (loud spinning noise all the way), it loads then just gets stuck at the same place with the disc spinning nuts. I then tried putting in an original game with the flip top and it makes the same horrible noise and gets stuck at the same loading screen. I then tried leaving the flip top open, and putting the white disc directly on the disc, it works but then the horrible noise picks up when both the backup and an original gets to the typical screen and locks up while the crackling spin noise continues.
I got frustrated and scared so I put back the orignal cd tray (no tiny screws this time) and hoped that it didnt damage the unit. I then put an original game back in and it works perfectly, no more noise. Did I buy a bad flip top? I already ordered a new one at ps2fliptop.net since it has a pre-install white disc, a better spring hold (i hope) and pre-install memory doors. I hope this would fix things. I want to know: 1. Did I damage my ps2 at all, it seems to work fine now. and 2. What happened to the flip top? What was that horrible loud spinning noise) Did I buy a bad one? The magic swap discs seem to work fine however. I am anxious and hope the new flip top will work fine. Please I need any advice and help available
