I have just installed a modbo 4 mod chip and the ps2 wont turn on now. when I first installed it, the unit powered up fine and the LED's came on but when a disc was installed it said "disk read error".
I took the unit apart again and carefully cleaned up the terminal conectors on the disk unit and now the LED's wont come on at the front and the cooling fan runs flat out and does nothing else.
Any Ideas?

Make sure the ribbon cables are all plugged in correctly and right way round, including the one that goes to the power button, what did you clean the terminals with, I think one of the connections to/from the chip may have broken are causing a short circuit, so double check all the wiring.

I rechecked all the wiring and resoldered any sus connections. That fixed that problem. Now the playstaton turns on as per normal with the LED's lighting up and the disc drive ejects and retracts normally but no video or oudio output to the tv. the screen just flashes once when the ps2 is turned on initally. I cleaned the ribbons with contact cleaner and a cotton wool bud.
