Hi, I've read the entire sticky swapmagic thread and this specific problem hasn't turned up

I have a slim ps2, version 14 I think (scph-75003)

I just received swapmagic 3.6 in the post along with the tools

I installed the tools with no problems and the laser moves to the centre while the lid is open etc, so no problem there then

The issue is that when I insert either of the discs, it boots up to the initial swapmagic title screen (this one:
)

but that is as far as it gets, it never makes it to the next screen where you get the menu (load program, video mode etc)



When I put the sm disc in I can hear it spin up normally until it loads up that screen, at which point it ceases to spin.

I thought it could be a faulty disc, but it does the same on both discs, and gets to exactly the same point before it stops spinning.

I have also checked to see if I have pressed it down onto the spindle
properly, and I have

does anyone have an idea as to the cause of this problem, it certainly has me stumped!
