PS2 issues at power up....
 

I installed a Magic2 (on a V7) a long time ago. Its been working great. I played some Star Wars Battlefront on saturday nite. I went to go play again on Sunday morning and it wont show anything on the screen. It powers up, i get lights on the reset/eject buttons and those buttons work like normal, the cooling fans runs and i get disc activity. I just dont get no screen nor sound. I disassembled the PS2 to check for loose wires and everything is still attached. Any ideas?

:rolleyes: :cool: try Buying a new lead or try a rf lead or try tuninng you tv

I borrowed my neighbors PS2 and used my existing cables and it works fine.

Its hard to say without having it in hand, maybe it blew a fuse :confused:

any idea what fuse to check? Just weird that it worked fine the night before and try to start it up the next morning and it wont.

ok heres an update, i hope someone can ID the problem. It will boot original games. But if i try a dvd-r game i have to press the reset button for about a second then i will get the PS2 logo screen but it still wont boot the game. If i press the reset button longer i get no PS2 logo screen. Just a blue video input screen. I do hear the laser clciking alot so do i need to adjust it? any ideas?

I have never heard of a dvd-r game causing the ps2 screen not to show. If anything, it should be showing a rsod or something. Not nothing at all.

Could be a faulty install. You never know. Might have bridged a few tracks :p

I installed this years ago and worked fine since saturday. So how can it be a mis-install? :confused:

My V4R PS2 had a few bridged pins on the Video Decoder chip when someone installed a Messiah it it a few years back. It worked fine for a couple of years and then one morning, the decoder blew. It isn't an impossibility, but I suspect the chip is at play here - it's only a Magic 2 anyway...

If its the fuses it will be labeled with ps1 ps2 etc. Maybe the mod has had it. You could try changing it to a more reliable chip to. Check the bios chip as well!

it still boots originals not backups. So i cant really see any fuses blown then.
