Hi. I have a problem with my modded PS2, where it is struggling to read backup discs.

The problem is, when I put a backup game in, it goes to the red "Please Insert a Playstation 2 game" screen every time. The times where it doesn't go to this screen it justs returns to the PS2 menu. I have only managed to get it to play a backup game once, and that took several resets.

What exactly is the problem, and how can I fix it. I don't actually know what modchip is in it, so it might be a chip that you have to turn on in some way. How would I turn it on.

Thanks

Mag,

You'll have to open it up and see what chip you have. You may have a chip that needs to be reflashed. It sounds like you are having DREs with backups. Does it do the same thing with original games? If so, your laser may be going.

If you are unsure about taking apart your PS2, Just use a notebook and document where each screw was removed from. This will ensure you get all of the screws in their respective locations.

Or you can find a reputable modder/repair specialist.

Let us know what chip you have and we can further assist you.
