Help.... my ps2 backup don't work only original work...=(

**break** · 08-27-2003,05:20 PM

ok... i peek at my ps2 and accidently pulled 2 wire out.. so i solder back in (thx to a lot of people for the help).... but now the problem is that i can't play backup game... only original game work =(.....

so anyone know whats the problem??
my chip are magic 3... and ps2 version 5

anyone know which point of wire i need to fix?? or any method available for troubleshooting? i keep on solderin like 10 time and same result......

=(.

do you have a multimeter? if so, you can easily test each point. just make sure there is 0 resistivity for each wire.

test ps1 backups...if they work you can eliminate a few wires...hold rst down for 3 sec. while on standbye, if you didn't already know...

Are you sure you soldered the wires back the right way around??

Anyone know how to use a multimeter? like the setting etc... thankz

resistivity is measured in ohms. set it to test for that.

maybe I need to add this to my help page...

Set it to ohms or on some meters there is even a continuity range which has a nice little beep when connection exists (zero ohms)

Pretty much:
(1) choose one of these ranges. (0-200 ohm, continuity, or just ohms if it auto ranges)

(2) Touch the two probes together to confirm the meter works - you should get very close to zero ohms + a beep if the meter supports beeps... (most probes will show between 0 and 0.5 ohms when the probes are touched directly)

(3) then holding one probe at one end of a wire and the other probe at the other end - you can measure the resistance of the link. (it does not matter which probe is used on which end for resistance)

(4) depending on the wire used you should not see more than say 0.2 ohms increase over the reading shown when the probes are touched directly together.

(5) if a 1 with no decimal places is shown - this means that the resistance exceeds the scale you have it on and that there is a problem with the connection. same applies if you have a value greater than a couple of ohms more than when touching the probes together.

if this is the case - check the solder joint - if that is ok - suspect that the cable is internally damaged and replace.
