Strange post-mod problem (after removing modchip)

legopowa · 09-23-2004,12:33 AM

Hello, this is a weird problem where the box will load system setup upon boot, (where the time and region can be set), then go to browser, and after a reset, it will go to a black screen. Unplugging the power cord and plugging it back again still results in a boot to black screen, but after a few hours of wait, it will boot to that system setup menu again. Is the bios chip burned possibly?

Model V7 Playstation 2

I've scrubbed the leads and board with a toothbrush and inspected them closely with a magnifying glass, they appear un-bridged. There is still a black screen on boot. Before this there was a blown PS7 fuse, could that have been the problem?
