Hello,

My PS2 wasn't in use for more than 7 months, its a ver V10 or V11 SCPH-50004, It has never before given any problems. It was working fine when I last played it. Playsation is MODED but it dont know which chip it is(is there a way to tell??). Normally I wouldn't go through with this trouble and have it repaired but the guy who does the repairs is out of town and will come back after two months. I dont trust other repair guys so now I can either wait for the guy to come back(by the time he comes back vecations will be over :( ) or try to fix it my self.

Now for the problem:

All the Disc tried are either Backups or Bootleged.

It ain't booting; When I put a DVD game in and restart it indetifys it and goes to black screen with out any trouble but the playstation logo doesn't come. After a few sec's it either goes to Red screen directly, insert PSX cd or PS2 CD / DVD, or it first goes to browser saying reading disc and then to red screen.

If I put the dics in at browser it itentifys the dics ( disc logo comes) if I select it, goes to black screen, after a few secs it goes to red screen.

> It plays Audio CDs / CD-r's without any problem.

> I tired PSX CD still no good.

> DVD moives are indetified, when playing it says unable to play dics.

I have run out of ideas. I tired to clean the lens that just made it to read a bit better. No change to the problem. I dont have experience with solder iron so I can't mess with the mod chip.

Any ideas and suggestions are welcomed... :)


I look forward to your help and support. God Help us.



Tenrai.

Try cleaning your laser or adjusting it, if that doesn't work then you'll need to replace it...

Thanks for the reply, so in your opinion the mod chip may be fine?
I'll try adjusting it as I have already cleaned it.

Modchip should be fine... try an original disc and see if it can read it?

Here's a guide on how to adjust your laser: http://www.ps2parts.com/laser_adjustment.html
