Version 5 - Duo Install - Dodgy Laser = Problem ;)

Ok heres the dilema i just installed a DUO into a version 5 Ps2

Didnt test the drive but low and behold the lazer is knackered

Turn it on no reading , 2 minutes boots whats in the drive

PS2 Cdr - Please Insert Playstation 2 Disk
DVD Movie Region 2 - Works

But since the lazer is so knackered i think the CDr error message is just cause it cant read the disk? maybe . since the chip doesnt unlock MacroVision and Regions in stuck on testing

help? ive got a dvdwriter but no ps2 DVDr Games at all , And no orginals :crazy:

Try checking to see if you put the CDVD ribbon cable in properly. Or check if the SCEX point is done correctly (point S). I've had similar problems which were easily solved.

btw, is the drive spinning up? is it making a clicking noise?

I just asked the guy and he said its always been like that he just waited for stuff to boot

Its a V5 Sayno Laser so its crap really , its there any discs that i could burn to DVDr to test if its working . Something that i could download off the internet and emulator or something
