alright, so I just bought a modded ps2 off of the forums here. When I first got it I tried a regular US disc, and it worked, then I tried an import and a burned game and it said "please insert a playstation 1 or playstation 2 format disc".
so I took apart the ps2 and checked the wires on the modchip. sure enough one of them was off. I successfully soldered the little devil back on, then took it in my room, booted it up, and got like 6 discs to work in a row. I thought it was fixed from then on.
I took it back in the other room and all I did was tighten down the screws on the bottom on the console, ok. thats all I did. I try it again, and the freaking "please insert a playstation 1 or playstation 2 format disc" message came up again and again.
I take it back apart and the wire I just soldered is still connected! I can't see any other wires that are off.

ok, here's the thing now.... regular US Ps2 (non burned) games work 100%. when I stick one in and turn it on, it comes on right away and boots.
when I put an import in, or a burned game and turn on the system... nothing shows up on the screen. The fan is working, but no picture, UNLESS I hit reset once, then stuff appears on the screen, BUT the same "please insert a playstation 1 or playstation 2 format disc" comes up.
It always does this too. It always takes two times before I see anything on the screen with imports or burned games, but only 1 time with regular games.

I'm trying to figure out what this means, but would like some help!
