heeeelllpppp!!!!!! i'be allmost killed my ps2

[niabi]

well on a DMS3 installation gone bad i half killed my ps2, when i turned it on i got a black screen, so i decided to give on the dms3 and take it off.

After i took it off, i tried the PS2 and it turned on as usual but the initial settings screen showed up, I said ok the baterry was off maybe its suppose to do so, so i went in there and set everything up, went into explorer and said no DATA not even my mem card was recognised, disc didn't even spin, i went into the Version screen and it showed me a wierd version number on my console, shit now i am screwed.

So i went and open my ps2 again found out i have completely removed the little orange cilinder where point X is supposed to be soldered, so i resoldered back again very carefully, turned my ps2 on again and bingo version identified as 35001 wich is what i got, game boots BUT only for 10 - 15 seconds then they hang and i got to reset the system but when i do i get the initial config sceen and disc won't spin again again

anyways, anyone know what might be wrong??? i am getting very frustrated by all this and starting to think of getting a new system but i really don't have the $ to do so atm.


please help

and sorry for the long post.

The NVRAM data is being read wron g by the PS2, probably due to solder splaters or broken tracks in the mobo.
Funny enough, I was talking with someone yesterday at #PS2-Emulation about this very topic.
And the problems of corrupted NVRAM data are just the ones you tell here .... Since it worked after you messed a bit in it, then it's definitely a motherboard damage problem.

You would like to take a look on the NVRAM chip. it's in the middle of the board at the same side as the EE and GS chip.

An V3/V4/V5/V6 NVRAM chip has this written on it :

(c) 2000 SCEI
C807U-2A69

If it's V1/V2 :
(c) 2000 SCEI
C807U-1V33

and keep noticed that the chip is not only a NVRAM, it does also control the power supply, the reset/eject button and also the fan and monitor the Emotion Engine chip temperature.

thanks for the reply i am going to take a look at this chip, is it a posibility i could have damaged ? or if i find some sort of bridge there is still a posibility to fix it?

again thanks for the reply going to check it right now
