09-19-2003,06:18 AM
no, i didn't install a mod, i simply took one out ages before leaving some solder on each point (no shorts)...
and now i just got my ps2 working, when when i press reset, eject light doesn't turn on, and when i turn on with the eject button, same thing, black screen for the ps2.. and i can never eject the tray, no laser mechanism...
any ideas?
all PS fuses OK.
how can i check out the BA chip? more details please...
i've checked for shorts with a multimeter... haven't spotted any...
but the main thing is i get a freakin black screen!
like I was telling you this morning, in that pic, look @ the top right of the BA58 chip, that is pin 2, count down on the left in 2s, so 2, 4, 6, and 8 until you are @ pin 8 (4th pin down on the right).
Put one end of your multimeter on PIN8 of the BA58, and put one end on GND/GROUND (orange area around the board). If you get a constant reading/continuity result, then your BA58 is dead, just for the hell of it, do the exact same check on BA66 (lower left of the board)
i highly doubt that's the problem if i'm getting no eject light, but i'll check..
and charlie, can you point me to where i'm supposed to look in the FAQs section? because i can't find anything on the BA chip..
