ps2

[gcornwall]

can anyone tell me why my ps2 with the neo 4 chip in will not play any dvd films or games now urgent help needed

[elite force]

have you just had the chip installed ???
have you seen it working with dvdr copies???

to boot the copy just turn on ps2, goto browser,
wait for no data screen then put in a large toc original dvd game,
press and hold the eject button until the gold disc appears then
let go, the tray will eject and swap for your copy.

this should then boot the backup of your game.

yes dvd worked before but will not play any dvdz and cannot get the gold disc to come on advise please cheers gazza

have you changed discs lately,
if not could be a dry joint on one of the solder points either on the chip or on the pcb where chip solders onto.

[gcornwall]

changed what discs? i wouldnt know where to start with dry joints.all i know is dvdz will not play backups or originals.any more hints to what it could be ?

[elite force]

changed discs i mean different manufacturer ie verbatim to non branded
as to dry joints you would need to get it checked out with whoever fitted the chip fo you

[gcornwall]

yes tried diff disc but no dvd discs will work as 4 manuf,i bought it through playstation mods off net.because thet got done they will not do anything about it .so i lost my years warranty with them

is there not a chip installer in your area maybe worth finding out
and getting them to check your connections they should charge a small fee for the trouble

[gcornwall]
