V4 tray not opening.

[DutchDemon]

I've got this v4 ps2, and its working fine afaik, not modded, but the tray is not opening. i ran it with the cover off n stuff, but it doesn't even attempt to open it, so there's nothing stuck or anything. i saw lufcfan say something about it here, but i dont know which ribbon cable is meant.

so, the question is, does anyone have an idea why the tray is not opening?

If you ran it with the cover off then you probably damaged the Reset/Eject ribbon cable.

well, the cable was already damaged when i got the ps2, but i ran it with the ribbon cable of my other ps2, which works fine (even after reassembling my good playstation again, so the ribbon cable is not the problem). so, with the cable not being the problem, do you have any other ideas?

anyone?

Try to open the cdrom and check the tray... I have v4 and the kid dropped the PS2, the tray won't open... It happened twice... the tray mechanism just jump out of it's tray path

Hope that works

i already opened it, it was the first thing i did of course. im quite positive that i got the mechanism right, but its still not working... so its not the mechanism, and not the ribbon cable... any other ideas?

@ lufcfan, you told here that you had a problem wit hthe tray not ejecting on a version 5. it was something with the white ribbon cable. could you tell me what the problem exactly was, so i can check it?
