Did it go to the browser before it booted?

Nope no browser on boot, so im guessing the lazer is fine, mind you this is with the silver backed ps2 title.

So it must be a mod problem???

Well it could be, to clear it as being the mod chip maybe you can take it back to the guy that installed it and ask him to take a look at it.

Yeah Im going to, but when I had the initial DRE problem I brought it to him to fix and he gave it back to me said he couldnt find anything wrong with it and charged me 20$ so I was kinda hoping not to go back to him, as im not up for paying for him to do nothing.

Ill call him tommorow and see what I can do, thanks!

OK huge update...

so turns out reason why burnt games wouldnt run is because he put the wrong mobo back in which didnt even have a modchip on it. So he gave me my mobo back and let me keep the one in, so now i have to put my old mobo back in. So i put it back in and turned the ps2 on and now the problem is the lights and everything work fine, i can even hear the fan working etc, but i get no picture on the tv or sound, and the eject doesnt work.

Does anyone know where I can find a dissasembly and reassembly guide, or know what this problem is caused by. I know its not the cables as Ive checked them all, and they worked fine with the old mobo.

WOW!!! Now that’s a big mistake isn’t it? How could any one give you back the wrong mobo???? Especially with out a mod on it LOL!! The mobo he gave you back, if it is in fact yours, he probably fried and that’s why he gave you a mobo with no mod. He was like "OH SH*T" and just gave you a non-modded working mobo so you wouldn’t be angry. Also why didn’t this guy install the modded mobo for you??? I mean like if he really did make this mistake, why didn’t he fix it??? After all you paid for a service and only got half!! LOL!! Damn if I did business like that I would be rich...no I take that back...no one would be coming to me with their business. BTW who is this cluster that you’re having the work done by.

He never charged me a penny which is good.

So Sped whats wrong with the mobo is it friend?
If it is how do I tell if its just the fuse or the chip? Do you know where I can get diagrams or stuff to show me what to look for. is it possible I just forgot to plug in a cable or plugged one in wrong or something?

I really want this damn ps2 fixed sick of this now.

What version is the mobo with the mod? You should check all the fuses with a multi-meter. PM me your email and I'll try and send you a diagram with a list of all the fuses. Better yet take it back to the chump that installed....... wait never mind, he has already dragged you through the mud.....ummm it could be a lot of things but with out it here in front of me it’s kind of hard to tell. Did the un-modded board boot originals? Look over your free install and see if you can see any solder bridges or anything that doesn’t look right. Yes it could be that you didn’t install a ribbon cable correctly or at all. Check all that again.

If the un-modded board worked you may consider having that board installed by a pro and get a better chip then the magic 3.1.

Also depending on what version it is and if the laser is good.

Lazer was fine, version of mobo with mod is a V5. Ill open it up again and check to make sure I put everything back together again properly.

Ill PM you my e-mail for the diagrams so I can check if its a fuse or anything.

Thanks for your help btw
