Magic 3 Problem
Hej Guys!
Got a big Problem! Iīve bought a PSX2 with a Magic3 chip in it! First nothing (Original PS2 games, DVDīs) want to boot so Iīve adjustet the laser and so on... So the original games started without any problems! But the Backed Up Games still dont works on it, so iīve looked to the chip and iīve seen that one wire isnt soldered on the chip! I donīt know if it was unsoldered before iīve unscrewed my ps2?! So i tried to run the games (ORIGINAL) again but now the "RESET" and "EJECT" buttons dont work! The red light on the Reset button is lighting..but when I push it nothing works  Could it be that i damaged this little, thin, silver wire that is connected with the cover?? If yes what could i do,... can I order something, somewhere? Any alternatives? Or could I throw away my PS2??  Sorry for my bad english, and thx for help!

hey dude,
Yeah sounds like you have damaged the eject reset cable. But try pushing ing that ribbon cable a bit more into the motherboard socket. If you have a digi cam and take a pic that can always be a great help. Also this reset wire ur saying on ur magic 3 does it connect to anything make sure it isnt grounding.

hey,
v3 cable isnt ribbon is it? its plug in ports if i can remember. Right make sure u didnt snag the wire and get a multi meter and test the connections on the motherboard to see if there is current flowing into the ps2.

yeah, if you can fix it just sell it on ebay. right get a cable there be very cheap. But look along to see if u did snag it.
Right set your multimeter to read volts! its the V symbol on it and just check the psu to see if there is any current flowing. might be worth it, its up to you.

I had a PS2 here once that someone had destroyed the Power/Eject ribbon and what I did was look through my junk room of parts and I found a ribbon from a printer that was twice as long and five times as wide. The contacts were the exact same size so I just cut the ribbon to the right width and plugged it in the PS2, it worked great. Beats spending money and waiting a week for the replacement part!

Yeah, but i ainīt got an old printer?! (What type of Printer was this? *lol*)
So I soldered on the less wire on my chip! And I controlled my eject/reset ribbon again , I saw that there is a contact damaged.. so i soldered on it *gg* It works fine, .. hmm.. the one and only problem is now, that the red light (reset) didnīt light, itīs everytime green *gg* So i tried the PSX if itīs working and what was the result??? : If I start booting up my playstation it everytime resets itself *lol* So iīve had to unsolder the ribbon and solder it again exactlier! *gg*
