I doubt that it is the CD\DVD controller as this is aon the backside and I cleaned it up real good with desoldering braid adter the unistall. Cleaned up all the points where the magic was connected very well. Only thing that I expected was the bios. After I romoved that damn bios clip I had noticed that i mashed solder all over the place. Did my best to clean it up but it is hard to see. I only have a 2x lens, have to wait for a friend to get home and bring his up. I checked out b and c they are good.

What does this mean?

nevermind. Got ti as soon as I posted. Thought you were talking about going back to the magic, sorry

:confused:

Yup I've given up on it. Only good thing about it is that I am negotiating selling the laser to Freakzilla. He has recently sent his PS2 to Bill who says that he needs a new laser. Good news is that mine happens to have about 30 hours on it. So I am going to see if we can work some thing out.
