thnks for the reply Tylerdurdan and seaneyb2003, i have been reading here

about a ROMEO MOD install and probs with v9 lasers, i have already tried a new 400c laser in my PS2 and it works fine in my ps2, so i assume tha the LA CHIP is also fine...... i notice from teh above link that the author suggests that bad/dirty media can caus a v9/10 laser fail! And this is exactly what i did 2 days previous to my laser fail!

Can i just ask quick question to you busy guys about a romeo mod, is ROMEO performed because the laser/la chip uses 5v but sometimes recieves 5-12v, thus blowing laser or chip??

No, it receives 12v, but the Romeo mod takes it down to 5v...

Good choice getting a 400C, I have yet to see one go bad yet in a V7.All the V7’s I’ve had here with errors were either from dirt or the white cog. 400C’s are not listed as being compatible with V9’s, I didn’t think they would work. Good thing if they do, nice to know.

More problems, i bought my 400c laser, got it installed, and got a ROMEO MOD done, everthing was working fine for 2 games....loaded a ps2 cd game, and black screen, disc failed to eject, when i press eject i get blue light flashing and nothing happens, tried holding it pressed for a long time, all i get is a flasing blue light, logo starts up normal, disc is still in the ps2.....ahhhh,
i didnt install teh mod myself, and teh same installer done teh romeo mod, the only other info i can offer to some expert guy is that when doing the ROMEO mod on this guide,

where u connect the LA chip leg to the 5v power supply on a V9 ps2, this is where the already installed mod chip is, so he used a 5v volatage regulator somewhere to the bottom of the pic of the LA chip on the above guide....
anythopughts guys???
