PS2 modchip problems?
I have had a modchip in my PS2 for about 4 months now, it had been working great until recently. The problem I am having is that every now and then the tray will not close. It stays open and does not close if I hit the eject button or hold down the power button. If I try and close the tray by pushing it in the eject light ####ts blinking and the tray will open. It is really ####ting to piss me off!! If I desolder the wires on the modchip,power up the PS2 for a second and then resolder them it will work fine for a day or two and then it will ####t doing it again. Does this sound like a problem with my modchip or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John V.

What type of Modchip are you using?
NeoMod2 or something totally different? Because I'm using neo mod and not a single problem.. Also what kind of PSX 2 is it? Version 1-4.. Version 1-3 has 10 sqaure holes where Version 4 has 8...

I am not sure what the modchip is called,I bought it from modchip.com. According to their pictures mine is a SCPH 300001 board type 2. I dont know what you mean by the holes,this is all I know.

From what you're telling me Obviously you got the 10Holes=Screws type 2..Versions 1-3 are all with 10Holes/Squares=Screws which are the almost sought after kind by most people who know about PSX2 soldering due to them being the easiest to solder a Chip..I went through hell to get mine recently..
Anyhow sounds like it could be wrong point soldering somewhere.. Try going to this website for Soldering points... www.javex.com This is a another place that carries NeoMod assuming that, that's what you got?! I haven't had single problem with this guys since 2 yrs back when I got my first PSX Modchip to Stealth.. They have explanations and solutions to fixing problems..Great Vendor.. Let me know, how it works out!

If the system worked fine for 4 months then i would say the solder points are right. Be sure the chip is being mounted in a secure, out of the way place on the board and completely covered with tape so it doesn't ground itself on anything in case it gets jarred. also use a magnifying glass to ##### pin's 5, 6 and 3 to be sure they are well connected and no excess solder is connecting the pin's together in any way.
