Hello! Your problem is slightly different in that I had no image on VGA either, only when no cable at all was connected. But trying to upgrade the...
I'm in Sweden, maybe I can help. What are you looking for?
I see... Since using another motor+cable worked fine I am assuming the driver is OK, unless the problem comes back... The cable to the motor was...
Good news - it turns out it was the spindle motor! I noticed that except for the issue I noticed above - that the disc would sometimes not spin...
Civilization Revolution. Addictive as hell, controls perfect for tablet, and simplified rules compared to other Civ games so a single game only...
Thanks, So far there is only problem with one disc, have only tried 4 of them though (1 DVD movie, 2 PS1 games, 1 CD-A). But what's weird is that...
Hey, Got a weird problem with a PS2 slim... I just replaced the laser with another one from ebay. I've just removed the solder anti-static blob...
What about Retrode ( http://www.retrode.org )? Does an excellent job backing up SNES SRAM, but it needs a custom adapter for GB.
Thanks, problem is I wasn't planning on keeping it myself so I want to be sure it is reliable :( But if finding bad joints is difficult I'll just...
Thanks, lots of usefull info here! :) I am pretty sure that the chip was actually 15, not 10. I have two different v3s, and I wrote down all the...

I'm sorry if it sounded like I ignored your advice, but like I said, when the tray was removed, I could see the laser, the arm and the wormgear...
what... the... fuck... so I confirmed that I got both the CLICKs on the scratched DVD movie and "vrrrr" on a PS2 game as I mentioned before...
Well, the issue is down to either being the laser, or the plastic arm. Laser #1 + plastic arm #1 + rest of the optical drive #1 = perfect...
Sorry, that's not it either, I can see that the plastic arm is not slipping - MAYBE it is pressing too hard against the gear so that it can't...
Thanks, I'll double check it but I don't think this is not the problem, my first thought was that something was scratching the disc so it was the...
Sorry mate, I'm determined to get this one going, and the second v3 that I mentioned, I will probably sell/donate but it is missing the PSU (as...
Thanks! The hub motor/tracking coil explanation makes sense. I might add though that this whirring seems to happen at a specific point during the...
Thanks, I was thinking about that one, but now I'm confused... I have tried several other discs now and get different issues with every disc... :/...
I have a PS2 (v3, SCPH-30004, KHS-400B) which reads discs almost perfectly when lying horizontal, but will not read discs when standing up. The...
