Just completed install.

update on my situation

hmmm well i have taken it apart again because i noticed the matrix wasnt even installed according to the ps2, so i shortened the ground/3v3 wires and put it back and i seen infinity 1.2 under the ps2. so now i have the chip installed correctly i presume.

now i pop in an original ps2 and it works fine. i put in a psONE backup and it isnt fine. it goes to the red blocks and tells me to insert a psone or ps2 disc.

i have yet to try a ps2 dvd-r backup as i have none right now.

and a weird thing about the laser. before i was getting a disc read error, iwonder if that was due to the chip not being installed correctly... OR WHEN you take out the orange ribbon, i notice when you pull it, you pull along the laser unit also, could this be the problem to all problems with disc read errors?

i dont know if i fixed the disc read error by fixing the chip install, or i nudged the laser around a bit.
