hey all i have a v10 ps2 that will not boot any game or dvd.. it has NOT been modified at all..i cleaned the lens and the laser seems to be bright red light when i hit the restart button..i had an old 10 that burnt up the lba chip but when it died the laser wouldnt even light up.. what could this problem be?
thanks

ok i heave tried ... new laser, all new tray with motor and laser... could it be the la608 chip? how can i test this chip... i remeber back when the romeo mod came out that there where 2 pins that if they where grounded out it meant the chip was bad but i cant find that post.. can someone help me please
thanks

Hi Det1
With the motherboard completely removed,check the 6508 chip for continuity between the legs of the chip.Only pins 3 & 4 should show continuity,they actually go to ground, as do the big center legs of course.Anything other pins connected or grounded means your chip is shot.

ok pin 22 is grounded... would this mean the ic is bad?
thanks for the reply... snakeize

pin 8 to ground will tll you if it,s gon.

sorry,should of been more clear.Pin 22 is ground as well.

What you need to check,if you haven't allready, is if you have continuity between between adjacent legs,4 to 5 ,5 to 6,and so on.

Usually when the 6508 fails,legs are grounded or welded together.

BTW,will this thing still play cd's, or nothing at all?

ok pin 8 is the wide pin and is is grounded i thought both the wide pins were grounded anyway.... and no it will not play anything... you think the chip is bad?
thanks guys

This syndrome is very common here in Brazil with the use of crappy chips, although it does happen very rarely with unmodded stations too. The real cause is yet unknown.

The problem is in a resistor bank located in the back of the mobo close to the IOP. There are 3 resistor banks of 8X43ohms. One of them is ruined, problem is if you measure them from side to side they are ok, will read 43 ohms. You should check them side by side, they should give a very high value between resistors. Any low value or short, and you should replace that bank.

Hope it helps
