Just turned on my chipped v12 slim PS2 for the first time since November to play some DDR last night and I couldn't get any discs to play. The power turns on but does nothing when a disc is in the drive. It just goes to the Browser screen and only the memory cards are displayed, no discs.
I remember seeing the PS2's power light on a few months ago...must have turned it on by accident and left it powered on overnight, so I think that might have something to do with why it's working now.
Don't know anything about repairing PS2's but from what I've read, it could be anything from a broken drive to a bad fuse. Any ideas? I've got a soldered DMS4 Pro chip inside, so I'd really like to get this fixed if possible instead of buying a new one and getting it re-modded.
