Does my MI work?

[lllCo2lll]

Ok so I installed everything, all the points etc. regular games work and matrix logo shows up. so i tried to burn action replay max onto a cd-r that i was able to get online.

Now it burned and i plopped it in, it showed the DATEL sign but it consistently flickers like there is no tomorrow. I'm not sure if its a bad installation, a bad copy of action replay max or what.

Since it actually did boot up would a ps2 backup game work since the action replay max kind of works (besides the flickering?)

Now I tried to also burn the firmware upgrade, but when I plopped it in, it doesn't read the cd, and doesn't upgrade.

Woah edit........

I forced video output to NTSC and that fixed it. Well since the burned action replay max work will regular ps2 back up work? and how come I can't burn and use the firmware upgrade?

if you can't burn and upgrade that means you have a fake Matrix infinity chip usually or a bad install

well i know its not fake because I researched which sites to get, and i double checked the pictures,

So it must be a bad install, would i be able to be pointed at the right directions of which solder points need examined?

Ok weird I burned some Ps2 Backups and they all work flawlessly, yet I can't use the firmware upgrade? bleh I guess I won't need it yet since everything is working flawlessly.

Check your bios points, its M,N,O,P Q, R, V, U, T, W. Loose wire or wire in the wrong spot.

try burning the firmware update @ 1-4X... that might help. I burned FFXII at 8X and it got fuxx0r3d, so try burning it at the slowest speed possible by ur burner.
