just had a v7 chipped with a messiah 2 and I now have the following probs:
ps1 originals and backups boot ok no probs
music cds boot and play all tracks
dvd movies load and stutter on playbacks, only plays first 2-3 mins then freezes
dvdr same as above
ps2 originals boot up and load to various stages, harry potter loads 30%
grand turismo loads to boot screen, fifa2002 loads 70%
ps2 backs cd and dvd, red screen
3 chips and 5 installed tried.
suggestions on how to fix this please
I see you got banned on psxmods. Was the above what you got banned for? Or what?
As to your problem have you tried the laser azimuth adjustment? many v7s have needed this to get the laser positioned right.
yes thats why I got banned, my first post was a reply to somebody who had similar problems. I then listed ALL my problems in a new thread and the mods were under the impression I double posted.
I asked for their help and got banned. :-((
So maybe I`ll get get advice in here.
anyhow I haven`t ajusted the laser yet, that seems to be the next logical step. thanks
laser adjustment made no difference.
now seems that 2 wires for the dvd/cd controller where soldered to the wrong pads, this corrected it now boots all dvds cdr and dvdr but the games and movies refuse to play, I now have a constant ticking coming from the ps.
suggestions please
I assume the ticking is from the disk.
You may have more than one problem. Fore xample the ribbon cable may not be properly seated or clamped or they may have been nicked.
or there are solder bridges or further mis-wires. In such circumstances expert hands-on is usually required.
Also I'm not sure what the symptoms are. You say it boots all the media (games?) but refuses t play them. What does that mean uin detail? In these circumstances detail or hands on is essential.
sorry heres the info,
it boots ps2 games plays the start sequences then when it loads the game itself the ps stops.
with dvd movies again it plays to the menu screen then stops.
so far the only thing to load is cdr `us open 2002` tennis its possible to play the first three sets then it locks up.
the clicking noise appears to be on the sound rather than the ps drive
hope this helps
still progressing.
i`ve now got paris racing cdr working too, it loads the options, then after between 5-10 minutes of racing it locks up the graphics but the sound continues. devil may cry boots cdr boots ok but still doesn`t get to the game play.
dvd movies still breakup on title screen then lock up.
