Is it a fuse fault>>>

[thesteve2]

i have a messiah2 mod in my v7ps2 and was workin fine except for dvd+r backups which keep skipping....was taken apart to clean the lens (just incase) and now it won't read any cd's other than audio and the controllers now do not work at all....Gggrrrr......i suspect a fuse.....any idea guys

More than likely not a fuse. Fuses rarely blow unless something shorts out. Why would you take the PS2 apart to clean the laser. Next time just buy a DVD cleaner disc. They are sold almost anyplace that sells DVD's. As far as the controllers, It is probably just a matter of the cable coming loose. Only reading audio cd's is a strange one, sorry no help there.

Could be because Audio CD's r relatively easy to read and have good reflectivity compared to other cd's.

Try as headly said getting an official Sony dvd head cleaner disc and give that a whirl.

Failing that could be a blown laser. They r very static sensitive and if u been stripping it and cleaning it could have blown it.

Good luck!!!!

ps2 Controllers not working definitely sounds like a case of ribbon cable not in properly ( as headly said).
