Hi,
this is my first posting on this site (great forum by the way), so hopefully it's in
the right place......
I have a Matrix Infinity Modchip on my Fat PS2. Everything was fine until i tried installing 'uLaunch' from a CD.
Since then no discs have read.
SO - did the 'lens cleaning' thing, did the 'gear changing' did the 'screw alignment' thing. NOTHING.
So, got a new laser. STILL no good. Tested the laser in a different machine and it worked fine.
BUT it's not my modded machine!!!!
My gut tells me that 'ulaunch' BOOT did something strange to my PS. Am i crazy?
Please anyone - if you can help it would be great or guide me in the right direction.
THANKS!!!!!!
alright i had a similar problem. but first answer some q's so i can narrow down on how to help you.
1.Did you try adjusting the gear with the new lens?
2.does the ps even start up or does it do nothing?
3.How long has the mod chip been installed?
4. have you tried using any original games including CD, DVD DL-DVD, Blue DVD and ps1 games if any of those work than i can point you in a certain direction on how to fix it
5.Does the old laser work in a different machine? if you havent tried this you might want to. If the old laser works in a different machine then there is something with your motherboard on your ps2 last but not least check all the ribbons and make sure they are firmly connected and they dont have any tears
Thanks for the reply....
1. adjusted the lens gear
2. works fine, plays games off HDD (with memor32) just not CD drive
3. I bought this used so i'm guessing a couple of years for installation
4. Nothing works in the drive, period.
5. I've since narrowed it down to exactly that - the chip or motherboard.
I swapped the entire insides of the PS2 for another working one. Everything except the mother board and it all worked fine.
I think back and wonder could a power surge possibly have effected the chip? This is only a guess but there was a strange round circle marking on the final disc that worked with this console.
If so, would the chip be fried? Also if I removed the modchip would the PS2 just work as a normal one again?
Now i have a memor32 using an un-modded PS2, HD Loader and CD Swap Magic it still would be nice to have the modchip working for ease of use with homebrew stuff,and also not all of the games run in HD.
