M2 PRO Went BAD! -Help

Jaded God · 05-23-2003,08:25 AM

Well after a ton of hours I finished putting in the Messiah 2 Pro from foundmy.com

Everything looks ok on the board, my power and gnd wires are kinda scruffy but are connected... The power line to the chip is a real cold joint I can tell but it seems to be connected.

Yet, After all that work and putting the damn ps2 together it takes me to the Browser/Configuration screen with the swirlee things in the background. I have a dvd original in it and it doesnt load.

I try to go to the browser screen and it only shows my memory card. No disc to select at all!

So I am now wondering what could be wrong and how I can fix this... I spent so much time getting burned, cut, and grueling over this mod job.

The eject button also seems to have to be pushed harder than usual, maybe the ribbon cable is stuck or something??? Any idea of this too?

Thanks guy I hope someone can help

I am itching to get back to Kingdom Hearts.

laser doesn't seem to be connected. does it ussually take a while for the try to come out? when u insert a cd does it say no data? Have u checked for bridged connections?

Ok well we fixed that problem the top orange connector wasnt connected to the mobo.... But now psx backups give me the RSOD "Red screen of death"

I have tried resoldering the nasty gnd connections and covering all the bare wire on the chip with electrical tape incase it was shorting on the metal chasis of the ps2... Yet no avail, no success

I am tired with fooling with it and any minute I think I am going to smash it!

Loy maybe I could send it to you? You could figure it out...?? I want someone to do it to tell me what i did wrong and I also want it done right.

have you tried psx mode when booting psx backups?

Yes I have tried holding in reset until the blue eject light comes on *psx booting mode*... No avail.

If someone could send me a ps2 DVD copy I could test and see if my ps2 will play it... I dont have a dvd burner yet...

I am going to get a blue bottom ps2 cd-rom game and burn it to cd-r and test to see if it will play that too... That would rule that it might be my SCEX wire for the psx backups.
