I have a v. 70003 slim silver PStwo PAL machine moded with the Matrix infinity. It worked a treat up until today, when it started giving me grief with the topic error message. CD games work fine still, but DVD games and films won't.

This evening I made a little progress by turning on diagnostic mode, which successfully kicked the console into life. Using this I can get games from both the US and UK to work fine. However, I have to start diagnostic mode after each reset in order to get games to work.

Any ideas how I could get this to work better? Is my PS2 about to die an untimely death?

Any help much appreciated.
