There is a chance that when a wire came loose that it may have caused a problem elsewhere on the board. Either by contact, or simply missing a link from the messiah.
Other than that all i can suggest is to admit defeat and sell your v3 ps2. I recently upgraded from a version 4(Chipped from day 1) to version 7 and even though the v4 booted everything perfectly, i personally have noticed faster loading times and quieter disc action.
Speak to charlie_ps2 or dust2dust from this forum reg buying machine premodded with messiah 2. No cowboys here, just people helping us with the things we love....cheap games!
