HELP me please it is not even my ps2!!! please help me! i am stuck here and i have to give it back to its owner by the end of the week! as i said at first after i removed the mochip it would indicate that it has power but wouldnt give me anything in the TV! now it is not responding and here is what i think happened:
arent there some small brown things that have two connections! i dont know what they are called but they look like this:
ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting

it wont do aa thing but i get an annoying redlight coming out of the digital ooutput socked! heeeelp! was there a specific way for removing a modchip?

LMAO. You guys are so funny.

The red light is actually the digital audio OUTPUT stream from the PS2 and it CANNOT be turned off. By selecting "Optical output off" on the console options cause the PS2 to stop sending data to the port, but does not turn the red light off.

It's just that you never noticed it before. The black lid on the front of the connector is there to block that light if there's no cable connected as it could be annoying in a dark room while you're watching a movie. Also, it's there to protect the connection from gathering dust.

If you knocked that door out then you could pop some paper in it or some sticker to block the light out. I honestly only use that output to get the audio from my PS2. The sound is so much better...

If your console is working fine, leave that red light alone (or better get something that can use optical audio and use it, you will like the better sound) lol

Can you make HIGH RESOLUTION pictures of where the modchip was connected ?

Anything bigger than 1024x768 will do.

The purpose is see if there's short circuits or cut traces.
