When i switch on the PS2 the drive makes a little skid noise and then nothing..Disk doesent move at all..The only movemement is a small jerk of the lazer that moves a bout an inch...but i can see that it dosent turn at all..the boot will not proceed past this 1 skid regardless of what type of disk is tried...Mod chip is working normally(it seems)even let me reflash 2.2 to my DMS3...

I replaced the drive completely(Everthing but the ribbon cable that joins to the lazer) and still the problem is the same...

The ribbon cable that goes from the lazer to the connecter on the motherboard..when i was lifting the connector door to release the cable...the whole connector lifted off the MB..I managed to carefully push it back into place...it seems to be ok..could this have caused this..does it need to be soldered back
