I am at my wits end..PLEASE someone help..I have a PS2 SCPH-3001 R - I Think its a version 4? 8 screws, no screw in the expansion slot, serial # is followed by an "R", so if thats correct, I got a no solder chip with AR2 put it in, triple checked the connections, even changed out the reset/power cable and put it back together. My original PS2 and PS cd's and dvd's work. So does the AR2 cd, but when I try different boot methods with backup copies...NOTHING. Is it my backups? I don't have a dvd burner, just a cd burner, so I am only backing up my PS2 cd games for now. My cd burner is a Samsung 32x and I am using Blindwrite. My media is Verbatim CD-R 80 min 700mb. The program seems to burn the cd with no problems. But nothing when I put it in the PS2. Same thing with PS backups, and the AR2 disc 1 boot up process. Please help!!!!!!
