OK, here is my most recent update with this issue. After rewiring the mod with the kynar wire and it still not booting I decided to open up the cd/dvd rom and do some work there. I cleaned the lens with a q-tip and alcohol and then turned each of the pots (CD and DVD) 1/16 of a turn clockwise. Now I can get DVD-R's to boot but not CD-R's. So I now know the mod chip is working but the lazer is old and worked. I had this same problem with a messiah2 chip on a V4 a while back and I just ended up changing the lazer all together. But on that V4 I could still get the DVD based games to boot so I knew the mod was working. In this case I couldn’t get anything to boot that’s why I thought it was the chip or maybe the enameled wire. Turns out it was neither. I was starting to think badly about the enameled wire also, but now I think I am still going to give it a try on the next machine I chip. Any ways thanks for all the help.
