This is the first one ive installed. Ive flashed the firmware, that went with out a hitch. The thing is it will play backup dvd movies, but not games. Any ideas

check again Your solders point etc , PS2 unit will play backup dvd movies without mod-chip too !

Thanks for the reply, tried a few diff games, some work some dont. It came up with the matrix sign while booting.

I thought the point of the homebrew was that it wouldn't allow you to play game backups? To do that, you need to flash the default infinity firmware on there.

Yes press and hold triangle+circle to get Infinity configuration Menu
and it show the firmware versions too.

I've v1.54 FW, and play all !

Not with the homebrew it doesn't. I just flashed it onto my chip to be sure. It doesn't do anything really, it's pretty useless!

@Oni29: Just boot it up using the 2 second power button trick with the v1.54 firmware CD in there. It'll upgrade the FW on the chip and you'll be happy.

upgraded the firmware. As i stated in the first post. Its just it plays some backups, some ge tread errors and some start to load but after the playstion 2 sign with the firmware 1.54 writing underneath, all i get is a blank screen

Prehaps the laser?
I'm out of my depth now so I'm going to have to shut up I'm afriad.

yes it now sounds really like a laser or media problem

Try to clean your laser with some compressed air,
Try to burn your backup on quality DVD-r (ritek or vebatim Dye)
Try to Adjust the COG (white wheel on the back of the tray)a little bit counterwise
Try to Adjust the Azimuth (the screw on the laser Arm)
Try to Give the laser a little bit more Juice on the left pot (not to much or you will kill it)

some handy tips to check of the problem is the COG or Azimuth
put the PS2 on his top and try to boot the game if it works 95% the problem is in the azimuth or COG

good luck MABCOM
