Right do like Warlock has suggested and try and boot a DVD movie with the Messiah is PSX mod. The reason we are asking you to try and boot PSX games and DVD movies is because the messiah needs very few wires to boot both and if it will boot either of them in PSX mod this will rule out two things, if its the chip or the laser.

If it will boot a PSX back-up the laser is able to read back-up media still (at least CD-R media anyway) and the chip is working. What may be the issue then is that one of the wires required for PS2 booting may have come loose.

If you can boot a DVD movie in PSX mode it will simply verify chip is working.

Post your results when you can.

I played a dvd and it worked.

Did you boot from PSX mode or did you just insert the dvd, close the tray and it loaded?
