Hi everybody!
Im new to this board and also new to PS2. First thing i've done was ordering a Messiah 2 mod chip as adviced by so many users of this board in almost every topic.
I've taken my PS2 to a relative of mine that is quite skilled in electrics (hes an electrician) to install the chip. We've done all soldering and wiring plus the pal color fix.
After reassembling the PS2 it started in standby mode and after pressing eject to open the tray and once again to close it, it came to the browser screen where it said "no data".
The reset led was red all the time plus it didnt work. So I could press the button but nothing happend.
So we reopend the PS2 and removed the reset wire and the 3.45v from the Messiah 2 chip, to disable the it. This time after reassembling, we had a black screen and the disc wasnt spinning(cant tell if it worked before we reopend it, i guess not...). But this time, the reset led was red as I switched the power on and after I pressed the button it went green and it looked like it did a reset.
Well, we reopend it again and this time soldered the reset and 3.45v wires again to the chip.
This time again black screen and no disc spin but reset seems to work again (first red light and after pressing eject green).
Hm, but what now? I looked in the troubleshooting section but couldnt find a solution besides that a fuse could haven gone broken. I think the soldering was correct and quite good, so I have no clue what it could be. Faulty chip? I ordered it here in Germany from diveno.de which are supposed to sell no clones. (the chip looks exactly like the once from messiah2.com site, without pcb fault, and the label on it says messiah 2 pro).
I would appreciate help so much!
Thank you very much, and sorry for the quite long posting!
P.S. Sorry charlie for not buying from you. You would have been cheaper but the Deutsche Post (mail delivery) said it would take about 10 days to only send you the money. And I couldnt wait that long!!
