    PS1/2 Help PS2 modchip recognition with disconnected points and cd/blue dvd not read correlation

    Thank you for the accurate answer. I soldered those 2 points and now it doesn't read any type of disc. I would like to be sure that I didn't damage the laser during the cleaning of the lens, even if it was superficial and light, or damaged the laser flats. Now I’m doing various tests with flats...

    PS1/2 Help PS2 modchip recognition with disconnected points and cd/blue dvd not read correlation

    Hello everyone, I need help understanding how a modchip works, to be precise it is branded Matrix Infinity 1.93, as shown in the attached images.

    PS1/2 PS2 no longer reads HDD, port fried?

    A thousand thanks! I bought everything I needed online including fuses and I'm about to buy a multimeter.

    PS1/2 PS2 no longer reads HDD, port fried?

    Thank you! Does the psu board have anything to do with it? I saw someone who managed to insert the psu of a fat 3000 into a 5000. I would like to have a single console with a working optical drive and hdd connector, perhaps I could exchange parts between the 2 models...? Thank you zfreeman, I...

    PS1/2 PS2 no longer reads HDD, port fried?

    Hi everyone! I need help, I'll try to explain briefly what happened. I have a ps2 fat 50004 on which I played my backups without problems with Sony Network Adapter and Pata HDD. Today I connected HDD to the PC to add new games but showed no signs of life. (I connected it with one of those cheap...
