FMBC stopped working on a slim PS2

[pustal]

So I have a PS2 slim that FMBC just stopped working. I tried multiple cards, bought pre-made and formated installed by me, including OG MagicGate cards. I tried both slots. Also tried creating a card though the installed both using the normal and the transmodel versions (through a phat PS2)

Either I get a black screen or I see the Freemcboot splash screen and then black. The console turns fine without the card.

Any idea what the problem could be or I can I troubleshoot this?

Which model of PS2 slim do you have (including system version)?

It's a SCPH-70004. How do I check the system version?

Press 'Triangle' and look at the Browser version.

Since yours is an SCPH-70004, I suppose the ROM is v2.00, so this is fully compatible with FMCB.

If your console has a modchip installed, then use FMCB 1.953 or lower.

'System Configuration' > 'Version Information' and under 'Browser' version.

I don't seem to have such option :X There's "language", "clock adjustment", "screen size", "digital out", "component video out", "remote control" and then goes back to "language"

I can try that version, but it doesn't have a modchip.

I meant 'Triangle' button on the main menu, not on any other section.

Oh, browser is 1.40, CD player 2.00, driver 1.11 and DVD player 3.10E

Yeah, it's compatible as mentioned. The CD Player version is the ROM version. Try a different FMCB version, different memory card that supports MagicGate, or go with FreeHDBoot as a last resort.

The problem turns out, it was from my controller that had a stuck R2 button Thank you though for everything.

Yeah, no problem. Glad you got it fixed at the end of the day.
