quick wiring question

[sublime90]

ok something weird just happened. first to answer your questions yes i see the matrix logo on the screen before i got the browser,and im on the correct diagram im aware of a and b


i was just playing a backed up game for about 3 hours and it suddenly froze on me so i tried reseting wich it didnt do so i unplugged it. when i turn it back on it powers up and the disc spins i just dont get any screen (its still showing my blue video screen) not switching it over like the ps2 is powered on, i rechecked the wires there all on there good still, not sure why this happened or how to fix it

EDIT

that was odd i just unplugged it for a while and then it fired back on and it works fine again, guess it just over heated?

This could also be a bridge. First make sure the fan is working correctly. If so then check the install again

Yeah... Just check that your fan is plugged in and powers on with the system. Also, check that your wiring is as short as possible and not blocking any ventilation holes...

just my luck! lol its been working fine for a week so why not mess up? i power it on today after playing a backed up game last night and to my surprise i get no "matrix" load up screen! it plays original games without missing a beat but i dont get the matrix logo. what gives? i opened the console and the wiring is fine as its been before, i dont know why its on like perm. disabled mode. any help is appreciated im truely stumped now

This may sound a little daft, but just check the continuity of your connections over. You may have a dry joint in there, which after a bit of use has completely dried out.

Also, just make sure that nothing is grounding out on the chassis etc.

thats why your the best man, i checked again veryyyyy closely and 1 wire looked like it was soldered, but it actually was just resting on top free as the breeze, resoldered that thing down back in business. thanks much

No problems man, that's what i'm here for

Way to go to get the thing working again
