Yeah, i've had my ps2 for awile now and, a few days ago i took it apart. Everything worked fine until a few days later (this moring) i went to play gtavc only to find it freezes at about 95% loaded. It was the dvd-rom skipping. So i opened it up and reattached the wires, and now it woun't load any cd.
Another problem: is about the connector from the eye to the ps2 mobo: is the slot on the mobo suppose to have the top clip off of it (the little brown piece of platic)?
Today since summer is soo boing, i sat down and tried to fix my ps2 agian. I have noticed that the cable from the eye to the mainboard had some scratches on 1 end. Also, after playing around with this cable for 3 hours, i could boot some games (ps1) and an audio cd. But if the eye read to the outer ridge of the cd, it would start clicking and not read it. Also, it couldn't read dvd's (movies and games, gave me a disk error). When i went back to monkey around in it later, then something else happened: it wouldn't load anything. I would put a cd in it and it would not even spin a revoultion and if i entered the browser, the "Reading Disk..." would blink twice and dissappear. Anyone know what the heck is wrong with my ps2?
Anyone???
If the top clip is off, then the cable isn't making proper contact and the symptoms you describe would occur. It has to be a pressure clip - gkue, tape etc are no good.
Thanks for you help chalie_ps2. But none the less, it still doesn't work. I dissassembeled the whole thing and reinstalled the cable and made sure it was on right. It will boot some ps1 games now but after the ps1 logo fades, i hear a clipping sound and nothing else happens. If i eject, it takes a while to eject the cd when the clipping starts. Anyone have any more idea?
Can you buy replacement eye-to-mainboard cable?
Upon closer inspection of the mobo end of the cable, some of the wire tips are gone. They do not have the little points. Could that be what is causing my problems? And does anyone have any extra they could give to me or sell for really cheap (the dvd to mainboard orange cable for a v7 ps2)?
I had similar drive issues when games would not read or react at all. It would only recognize the type of disc but then hang. My problem finally was that two of the leads on the motherboard end of the cable were bent. I could luckily salvage mine and bent them back with a razor blade, then clamped them back into alignment. That fixed my drive issues. So I'm gonna guess that since you have complete wire leads missing, that there is the culprit. Seems to me like you'll definetly need a new cable if entire peices are missing.Quote:

I don't have any extra or any to sell, but I've seen everyone posting this site, looks pretty good.
