comsoft slimfix v4

[phanatic1]

hello, I am attempting to install the comsoft slimline fix in my ps2, and once i got it installed, put it all back together and tried to boot it up (with no disc in it) the led on on the slimfix blinks twice and the system just shuts off. i even tried removing the laser assembly and i still get the same thing, but i started to desolder points on it and power it on after each one, and when i desolder the "J" point it works fine, it blinks twice and then it starts normally, but when i reconnect it, it will just do the same thing again. anyone know whats causing this?

make sure 'K' point is connected properly, otherwise the ps2 will shut it's self down(also check the track by L2 is properly cut)

thanks for the reply Predz, but its still a no-go, anyone else have any ideas? maybe get another laser fix and forget about this one altogether?

well if point k is disconnected the ps2 fix will blink twice and shut your ps2 down,thats how i used to check mine when i 1st started using them
but if K is fine then i'm not sure what else it would be sorry

it turns out you were right, i double checked the diagram and i was soldering to the point below where i was supposed to, I couldnt get the solder to stick to that point, so i just soldered it to the leg of the chip, which looks like thats where it was going anyways.

one more question, is the led supposed to blink like that when it's on?

Thanks a lot Predz, you just saved me smashing my ps2 against the wall.

glad it's working for you now, yes led will constantky blink whilst ps2 is on

Thanks for the info - just installed my first comsoft v4 fix (was using subzero before, no probems with it but this was quicker to source), was expecting a constant blue light not a flashing one.
