Hey i had a magic 3 in my ps2. It worked prefect for awhile but then i took the ps2 apart for some reason? and now the tray wont open! i ripped out the mod chip and i still have the same problem! when i start my ps2 the screen is just black and the eject light wont even come on!

Any ideas?

sounds like you blew a fuse
i had the exact same problem with a friends' machine (black screen, eject light not turning on)
i suggest you get a multimeter and check all the fuses.....they are supposed to read between 0-0.3 ohms (except for the fan one) anything else is a blown fuse.
you can find fuse diagrams here (http://www.ps2newz.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4430)

sorry, i don't know of places that sell those fuses
contact this guy: http://www.richspsxparts.com/psx2used.html he might have old mainboards laying around from where he can get you a fuse.

Liksang.com sell every kind of PS2 fuse imaginable. If you're in the UK, a Tandy/Radioshack store may be quite helpful...
