How do I adjust the dvd trimmer?

You must be secure that your modchip is correctly installed, then try this site:

Odds are you have a bad install or a bad laser. The clicking you are hearing is the laser trying to focus on the media. Try loading a dvd movie with the chip disabled.also be sure to update your firmware to DR8GSOH. www.liteonit.com

You can reprogram the magic with the ice code that is more performant!

When I insert my dvd disk when the mod chip is on, I get the red screen. When I insert my dvd disk when the mod chip is off, it plays the movie. I upgraded my firmware to GS0H and my burns still don't work. The original disk works perfectly. I used Ritek G03 dvd-r blanks. I know my mod chip works since it plays my ps1 back up without any problem (my Final Fantasy 9 backup). When I try my ps2 backup (takes forever), I get the playstation 2 logo and then, it dies (some blank black screen or the red screen). I am testing with my Batman Rise of Sin Tzu and Transformers original disk. If I can reprogram my mod chip, how do I do it?

You sure you can update a Magic 3? I never heard you could, but of course, I could be wrong. However, I don't believe I saw anything about it here???

Yeah you’re right you can flash the SX chip on the magic 3.1 with new code or even the magicICE code. But you have to ask you’re self, is it worth it? I mean fist off your going to have to purchase a SX Key just to program it, or make one him self but if he cant even figure out what’s wrong with the chip now I would say building a SX programmer is out of the question. Also the SX Keys aren’t cheap, last time I priced them they where like $50-$80. Then on top of that he will have to rig up a way to hook up the SX Key to the magic 3.1. This isn’t something that the average gamer needs to be bothered with. Just upgrade to a better chip.

What zanna86 has suggested is all very feasible but only really practicable if your a hard core modder.

It sounds like the problem is for sure an install issue. If you didn’t do the install yourself take it back to your installer and show him your problem.

The link has been updated...it isn't difficult if you have an sx programmer....

Ice man, follow the advice of spedmetal:take it back to your installer and show him your problem
