reset button trouble?? or messiah 2??

[danshaki]

Hi guys,

newbie i guess- been lurking for a while reading (jus joined) and learning what i could from some very knowlegable members. Just got my ps2 v7 and chipped it messiah 2 with help from this forum!

Searched on this but still not sure... how the reset button works on the PS2? doesn't seem to do anything on mine (even before i chipped it). When i turn it on the reset button is red with the fan off (standby mode i assume). Pushing/holding the reset button does nothing. Only when i push the eject button does the reset button turn green tray ejects, and the fan/ps2 runs. Now pushing/holding the reset still does nothing!

Seems maybe the cable/connector isn't working- but is not having the reset function affecting my ability to play backups? Put in my 1st backup of GTA vice city using Roxio easy cd (know it's not good- but all i have right now ) and nec 1100a burner on verbatim dvd+R: got RSOD. Messiah 2 should play it automatically right? shouldn't need reset i think. If that's the case then i think it's probably the software that gives me RSOD!?
Ps2 Plays dvds and originals just fine- just put em in and they play- am i missing anything ?? thanks for any suggestions..
