I just installed my flip top onto my fat v7 PS2, and suddenly, whenever I put a game into the PS2, whether it loads or not, makes awful grinding and crunching noises. I thought it was something with the laser, so I realigned the laser, and tested it out without the flip top with a DVD, and 2 different format PS2 games, and it worked all the time. It even worked 3 times out of 4 with the Swap Magic. So I put the flip top back on, and now it will hardly make anything, and still it makes those awful crunch noises. I'm about ready to swtich to a modchip, but before I do does anyone have any advice, or similar experiences?
you know the little white circular part thats in the middle of your fliptop's cover? If it doesn't press down on the CD's like it is supposed to or if it doesn't even spin then when your PS2 tries to read discs, the discs move around in there they will rattle and it wont load. So, you might want to check on your flip top cover.
