Summing things up

V7 39001
Chip- Magic V for V4-V8

after swirls it tries to load but i get a black screen and no sound
Dont get to the “Playstation 2” screen
Checked wires with ohm meter
Set DVD pot from 1200 to 1050
tried adjusting the white gear didnt change anything
Laser seems to be good
Cleaned laser lens with alchohol
Tried 2 different media No name and Maxell
Have not tried ritek media yet.



With Chip ON
PS1 Backups work
DVD PS2 backups dont work.
DVD Movies dont work


With Chip OFF
DVD Backup Movies work
DVD Movies work
DVD PS2 Games work



My PS2 boots like below

A PS2 with a good laser booting an original silver (PS2 game that is silver on the bottom and not a back-up) game boots like this.

1) When you turn on the PS2 and hit eject it will go to the ‘browser/system configuration’ screen
2) Put in the PS2 original silver hit reset, you will see the ‘Sony Entertainment’ screen, the electrons will swirl and go straight to the
3) Playstation 2 screen
4) Then a short black screen
5) Then the game boots




One thing im puzzled with is a original ps2 game should just boot up with the chip on. So if i get or try ritek media what difference is that going to make? If the chip on cant play originals why would it play any backups??
