Trouble with Magic 3

modman · 12-24-2002,12:27 AM

i'm having installing magic in v4 & v5 .Ihave install several in v7 no trouble at all .After the v4 install I have a green and blue led on but black display and the cd will not eject still having the same problem after the chip is removed.With the v5 i get no video and a hmm noise when it is powered up I can remove the chip and the ps2 works fine .

Thanks for any tips, ideals or just pray for me

Are you 100% sure they are magic3 for all versions? It could be a clone chip for example that doesnt support anything but V7...Just a thought...Merry Xmas.

u can try unscrewing the screw at the direct bottom of the cd tray, its the front middle one.

CheezX for this problem

After the v4 install I have a green and blue led on but black display and the cd will not eject still having the same problem after the chip is removed.

yea, i had this same problem, when the tray wont come out, i either lessened the screw or removed it altogether. I'm thinking that maybe the screw is squeezing the drive to hard or sumthing....

also, another thing I found was if u read some of the magic3 posts on the 1st page, there's someone also who is having the same problem. People are telling him that there is a bridge(as in 1 part is touching another part) on the bios chip. The bios chip is those lil bronze-ish rectangular points that are the hardest to solder. Maybe u should check if they're bridged or not.

merry xmas everyone
