Take it easy, you’ll get it eventually,

Yes this is good advice. It’s just a PS2 don’t rip your hair out over it. Like ihaveanosebleed said try and see if you can get it to boot a PS2 title that is on CD-R and also try and get a hold of a PSX game and back it up. I have found that allot of times if DVD-R's wont boot most of the time CD-R's will and if CD-R PS2 games wont load almost always CD-R PSX games will load. It’s very easy to miss wire a mod chip. Its sounds to me like this is your problem because for one its a V7 and odds are you shouldn’t be having laser issues, and two it will read originals with the chip off and not on (even though it could still do this with a bad laser with a mod chip installed), and three you have adjusted the laser down to a level where it would most likely read if it was a little tired. The chip won’t play DVD original movies with out switching to PSX mode (or turning the chip off) just to reconfirm what ihaveanosebleed said. If you could test a PSX backup this would tell allot because the PSX side of a mod chip has very very few wires that will make it work so even if you got a few wrong with the other wires PSX backups will still load letting you know your chips not dead. It’s also easier for a laser to read PSX back-ups. Did you test your laser the way I asked a few posts back.....this is a sure fire way to tell if your laser is having trouble. It has worked for me 100% every time. Any way good luck and keep us updated.
