V4 ps2 ng with Infinity Modchip

[Glock_23]

I have installed a Matrix Infinity 1.38 in my v4 ng ps2 and everything works perfectly except ps2 dvd-r backup games.
When I tried to boot a dvd-r backup, my ps2 started clicking and grinding and get "disc read error" in the browser.
I know it's not the installation problem cuz I can get into Infintiy option configuration menu and Upgrading Infinity FW.
Already upgraded to 1.39 FW and still get the same error problem..........

Is this a defected chip?
Has anyone had experience with this kind of problem before? Help..


>ps1 origionals - boot
>ps1 backups - boot

>ps2 origionals cd/dvd - boot
>ps2 cd-r backups - boot
>ps2 dv-r backups - failed, not boot

>dvd origional movies- boot
>dvd backup movies- boot

means your laser knackerd there wasnt much point chipping it if the ps2 couldnt read dvd-r. You could 1 Sell your ps2 2. try using better media such as riteks 3. buy a new laser or 4. clean it.

If the movies work, I don't think it's completely duffed. Try cleaning, and if things still don't work, check the points on the bottom side of the board (CDVD Controller Bus).

remember its a v4 everything on the top. Its just the laser lense.

I thought I saw V5 (Doh!)

Where are my glasses?

[seaneyb2003]

u keep thinking about v5s tonight huh?

Hey, thanks for the quick replies. I've tried cleaning the lense with alcohol/adjusting the white cog thing and still get the same disc read error problem on dvd-r games. My ps2 is only 4+ years old and original dvd games & movies boot fine.. are you sure it the laser problem?

So how much is the new laser cost?

only? 4+ years...lol thats pretty old for a crapy v4 laser. Yes I would have to say its your laser, I see this so many times with the v4's its not even funny.

However you can replace the KHS-400B thats in your V4 with a brand new KHS-400C and and it will work as good as a V7. We charge $70-$80 to do this.

hang on does this mean i could replace the version 4 laser in my ps2 for a KHS-400c and it would work like v7? so i could get either cc or matrix infinity? or no

[lufcfan]

Providing your V4 is using a KHS-400B laser, yes

[Bionic Man]

It's all down to the lasers Then ?
V4's can work aswell as a v7 if it has a KHS-400B laser fitted
Just put a new v7 laser

The only thin is I don't want to open my v4 up and see . As might want to sell .
Is there any way of telling what laser you have fitted without opening it up
