late v 4 or v5.. wont spin disk with magic v

**Trick_d** · 01-18-2005,10:57 PM

Whats up everyone?!
Just got my hands on a late v4 or v5 and fitted a magic v chip in it.

I went to the magic offical website and the diagram I got for a v5 and it match exacly.

So I soldered it in (5th ps2 mod Ive done) pressed reset and it booted but to a black screen. Took it apart and 2 ribbon cables werent attached. So I plugged them in and booted it up.

Presto! sony logo and all that comes up.

So I put in an original copy of GTA III and the disk spins abit (like 1 turns worth) then stops all together.

I tried it with the chip shut off with same results...
Took it apart and everything was fine so I tried it again.
This time I let it sit and after about 1-1 1/2 mins it starts spinning normally and boots. It does this in all 3 modes.

With a working backup dvd-r and cd-r it takes the same amount of time but it just spins and spins. When you go into the Browser it just says 'reading disk...'

All the back ups are on different types of media but work on my other ps2 and on my friends

Do you guys have an ideas???

Ps2 Worked fine before says buddy (known the guy for awhile so I dont see any reason to lie) Ribbons seem to be all in working order since it does eventually load an original dvd game.

Dont have another laser and not sure what tracks Im suppose to check.

Atleast I have some help now

Remove the chip. Try to get it working like it did before. I think you screwed the installation.

Take a magnifying glass and take a closer look at point p-m. Make sure there are no bridging inbetween the pins. I've had this problem before. It is usually because of bridging of the bios pins. So check that... I recommend you send your PS2 to someone who has experience with modding PS2s if you could get it to work again. But if you feel that you could do it, give it another try.

Well I have been modding ps2's for awhile.. this is the only problem that I have ever had that I couldnt figure out on my own..

Ill check the points.. thnx
