V4nogap Magic 3.1 trouble

fracicone · 07-01-2003,12:49 AM

Hi there!
I have a V4 nogap PS2 and installed a Magic 3.1 red PCB chip.
Did the work with my brother in law; we never modded a console
before, but he is great at soldering since he is a professional
cell phone tecnician.
When y turn on the machine I get a black screen.
Power and reset leds are working, reset switch works, cooling fan spins up properly, the drive tray ejects and closes but if I put
a cd/dvd in it does not spin up!
Somebody could PLEASE help me with a suggestion?
We drowned the soldering points in hot glue so there should
be no grounding, and we did this after we thoroughly checked
every soldering point! Could it be insufficient +5v cable thickness?
Maybe reassembling the PS2 (v4 is by far the most complex)
we made some mistake???
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check the bios legs maybe you get bridged and check if there is no solder balls is there

I understand the BIOS is the rightmost chip where you solder
MNOP, right? The one which has a nogap in my v4 and a gap
on the other v4s?
