Accessing the Matrix Infinity bios (PS2)

[emefge]

Hi guys.

Ive tried to use the search function in this forum to see if i could find the solution for my problem, but with no result, i guess someone out there can help me with this:


I have a ps2 thats chipped with the matrix infinity firmware - and my kid somehow managed to access the 'bios' setup and my kid pressed start afterwards, saving the changes she had done.

After this, all the games arent played in full screen - the bottom 20-30% of the TV isnt maximised, i only can play at 70% of the TV screen.

How do i access the bios setup for the infinity on my PS2?
How do i reset it back so it plays on the full screen mode again?
(This is not a setup issue in the ps2's original setup as it is setup in full mode)

I appreciate any kind soul out there helping me out with this!
