i havnt got ya mail yet
but i tried openin' the thing up
i got it opensort'a safely....(thnk god)....removed the black cd tray cover on the tray thingie....saw the disc....
and then i put the black cover back on (without screws back
and i put a PS2DVD original.....and it spins n boots (naturally)
and then when i tried the same thing with PS2 DVD-Rs (and now even the PS2 CD-Rs too)
the disc spins.....spins.....and just about the screen is goin' to turn into (PlayStation 2) logo page...u noe black.... the disc will stop spinnin'.....and then it wont go into the PlayStation 2 logo page
so therefore naturally it went into the "please insert a ps2 or ps2 format disc....blah blah)

how come the burnt copies will stop spinnin' but originals wont?

and what makes a wire loose usually?
i dun ply it for very long....i only played 6 hours a day
and i never moved my ps2 physicaly around.....

anyway.....i have been tryin' all this mornin'.....really tired....... gott'a go now
laterz ya'll......

Dont ask me to explain how thats work.Its on the technical side.
Anyway the reason why the wire come loose easylly because of a dry joint and sometime they not even stick properly.It doesnt matter whather u move the console or not the heat and the vibration sometime will cause the wire to come off.

Thats way for your own sake next time when u need your console to be chip make sure u go to the pro.

try taking back to place that fitted it
most r fair if fitted not long ago should repair it for free

I think he did!!!!and the installer say the chip burn out and need a replacement.
