DVD movies WILL play
 

I must update what I said before. DVD movies will play in my system, I must have fixed something when i opened it up today. However "fixing" that still leaves me in the same boat as danshaki. I have checked the connection of the buttons ribbon cable on both ends, everything is in order. Reset button still doesn't work. I tried holding the reset button while powering on my brothers PS2, it reacts the same way as mine so I suspect it is the same case as the other one, (disabling the messiah 2 because it is constantly being held)

However I would still like suggestions on how to fix it or what could be wrong.

Thanks

I would check your reset/eject cable first. there is a good cahnce that one end or the other is not inserted properly or a screw or something snagged and cut a wire in it.

Fixed
 

It was not my ribbon cable as I said I had already tested it. Things were fine, something was screwy with the mod chip. I desoldered the RST cable and booted up the PS2, it worked fine for PS2 games and backups but obviously could not be switched into DVD or PS1 mode. I resoldered the RST wire making sure to do a good job and it seemed to do the trick. It now works for all formats. except DVD-R since I have no way of testing that. I am sure it will work though since PS2 CD-Rs work fine.

I do still have a color problem on PS1 games. I am hoping someone else posted something about that in here, maybe it has to do with the color fix point.
