ps2 v12 doesn't read discs

ps2mor · 02-26-2006,01:23 AM

I recently purchased a ps2 v12 and I want to install a modchip in it. However, I decided to install the neofix xiii first (it came with the chip). The problem is the ps2 doesn't read discs anymore, it just says "there is no data" even though the disc is in the tray. It worked before I installed the neofix, so that is the obvious problem. But it appears that I soldered all the points correctly, so I don't know why it isn't working. I doubt it is the laser itself, since I completely removed the laser assembly before installing the neofix. If anyone can offer any help that would be greatly appreciated.

lots of people say all the neo fixes are crap. try removing it and see if it works

I'm having the same problem with my v13. But i never installed a neo fix, just a dms4 lite.

Jenko, is there another way to fix the laser problem (the factory defect that the version 12's have) without purchasing anything else? I already spent $60 on the modchip and neofix, and I don't want the laser to burn out. Alcopaulic, I haven't even got as far as you yet

, but I'll be using a dms4 pro. Good luck...sorry I can't offer any help as I am a n00b to the ps2.

Laser blows the moment you plug in .. if laser has funny smell its tost or if the lens looks like a shaterd glass.
You can install summon fix $2 in parts from rat shack. make sure all cables are conected to laser and drive.. I have replacement lasers for slim if you need.. use img for refernce of summone fix

use conect to t1 &t2 f1&f2 use 4.7k for V12.0 &12.1 only!!
560.ohm risistor if v12.0
2k risistor if v12.1
no fix need if v12.2

Check the solder point that is on the other side of mobo.
If this point is bridged, the laser wont spin at all.
