Swap Magic DVD problem?

I just recently got a new PS2. 90001 model. I got an imported game to it. In order to play it, I ordered Swap Magic 3.6 with the flip top.

So, I opened PS2 in order to replace the lid, and I didn't check the disks first (even though I really should have...) I tried to be careful, but I'm kind of a novice at this sort of things.
I put everything together to the best of my abilities. I wanted to start playing, however... CD disk loads fine, without any problems. DVD, on the other hand does not run. It gets past "Playstation 2" logo, but after that the disk is just spinning, and the screen is black.

Is the problem with just the DVD disk? Or with the box itself? And is there any way to fix it?

Thanks,
Ida.

The SM DVD sometimes does need to be returned and exchanged for a newer one.

They will ask that you try it in a friends PS2 if you can, or you could try loading the SM CD first, then swap for the DVD and see if it works then.

But even if it worked that way, I would send it back and ask for an exhange.

Do Original DVD play fine in your new system?

I don't exactly sure what you mean by original DVD... If you mean other games, then this imported one is the only one I have, and it is in the wrong format. If you mean movies that are on DVD disks... I checked them, they do play fine.

But thanks! I wrote to that company asking if I could exchange just the disk. It could be problematic, however, if they would ask for everything back, since the flip top had to go through modifications in order to fit in...

ok, they usually will just take the SM DVD back and exchange it without sending everything else back.

Anou...

For some reason I decided to test the disk again, and for a couple of times it did work. Now it doesn't again. Why?

Mine did that too when I returned it. I remember wandering if it was my PS2, but all my other PS2 DVD games worked fine.
Its hard to say exactly why, if its not pressed tightly enough against the spindle, part of the disk itself may not have burned perfectly.

Who knows for sure.
