first install ..... need some help

[AciDBoy]

ok jsut finished installing my first MI i think its an orange dot and its flashed with 1.75, had to re do the wires twice to get it to work right.
went into a v4R

ok before i installed it the dvd worked fine now it dosent work at all, it will try to spin twice then give up.

everytime i boot the ps2 i have to configure it each time.

theres no boot up sound, and after i leave the ps2 running for a while i get some strange C64 sounds out of it

any help to fix these problems would help... and yes i have used the search button

it sounds like an install problem, either a loose connection, a wrong connection or a shorted connection, recheck all these and if no go find a camera and take a pic and post here, we may see the problem straight away
cheers

going to shorten the wires to points A,B,I would this help correct the problem?

[gameplaya376]

resolder those points ( A,B,I ) , that does sound like they are the problem .

ok p was loose which i think is what was causing the dvd not to work correct me if im wrong, all the points onj the chip are showing continuity to the board but i keep having to redo the system configuration everytime i reboot the ps2

[gameplaya376]

undo A,B,I and resolder them . make sure all solder points are good . and the ps2 battery is pluged in .

[AciDBoy]

no its plugged in so im thinking its dead

EDIT: just tested my battery and its fine, the config was saving fine before chip was installed

[AciDBoy]

o resoldered A,B,I and still nothing so im giving up on installing this chip desoldering it off the board and finding a local miami, FL installer
