MGS2 won't boot.

[Beefcake]

I'm pretty sure my media is causing me problems. I've tried all the methods MULTIPLE times with no luck. Think I'll just fork out the dough and buy a new chip with an install. And some new media. If someone could point me in the direction of someone who knows what they're doing as far as chipping a PS2, (here in the states that is) I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks anyway all.
