About LinkBacksI just tried my first install of a modchip. I put a DMS3 into my V4. The points all look ok to me, but obviously something is wrong, because now my PS2 won't boot at all. I hit the power button and it turns green and the eject button turns blue and i hear the fan spin, but nothing else happens. The TV doesn't receive any type of signal. It doesn't boot when I hold eject for one second either. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

12-30-2003,10:07 PMHave you checked dms3's help forum's ?
wire's d and e are suspect to interference from the boards circuits
ground wrapping is explained in detail over at www.dms3.com
il give you a quick run down but dont have any pictures to show you like the dms forums have.
you wrap a single core wire round d and another one round e
and connect each one of the new wire's to the nearest ground point at board side and mod side this cut's out the interference.
a oicture speak's a thousand word's it's not an easy thing to explain.

i dont want to do that, but i'll try if i must. all of my wires are already glued down and everything. such a pain to take it all apart again after all that hard work!

12-31-2003,01:45 AMif your careful and have not glued over any components just peel it offif you have glue over any small surface mount caps i advise you just to cut the glue back and leave it as it is.

got it... i think i'm going to just undo all of my soldering, make sure the ps2 works without the chip, then hand it over to a professional to do the dirty work. It just took me way to long to do it myself, so at this point i'd be happy just to have a normal, unmodded ps2!
