need serious help

i had my chip sodered in by a person who works on tv's and vcr's. i reassembled my ps2 but nothing works, it powers up but it wont read anything, no disk will load , the disk turns maybe a quarter of an inch then stops, any suggestions or i thought i read somewhere i can sent my ps2 to some one to have them diagnose the problem and fix it?
i really need some help fast , ive been messing with this since x-mas and i can put up with it anymore im getting to stressed out.


thanks

Send an email to Bill at freedomlives. He is located just outside Chicago and is highly regarded by everybody on this forum who has used him, including myself.

Chrage varies on what he has to do. Messiah 2 is definatly better, but let him know your situation and he might be able to recommend a few things to try and if not he will probably ask you to send it to him for repairs if you like, which is a good idea. Or if you want the best chip, buy a Messiah 2 from charlie_ps2 or dust2dust then send it to him. I personally think the magic chips suck.

magic 3 does suck it has a flaw some reads cd-rs and others wont. they say the problem was tooken care of when they made the 3.1. but get the messiah 2 pro spend more but you will be happy and spend even more and get the dms and never have to worry about a chip again.

I never cease to be amazed at some of the garbage circulating! A small number of games are known to freeze randomly with the Magic3. This has been fixed with either a switch or a piggyback chip.

3.1 has resolved the prob! If somebody has found faults with 3.1 then please share them with us!
