I checked the install. Everything appears to be in order.
This has got to be a dvd laser calibration issue. I don't see why it wouldn't be working. I'm just so tired of disassembling / reassembling my damn ps2. I feel like taking the chip out completely, selling my v.4 cheap, buying a v.7 and having it chipped professionally.
Anyone know good chippers in southern CA, USA ? Or chip yourself, close to me (Orange County) ?
