PS2 not turning on

Hi guys, i'm new in the ps2 work and i'm looking for help.

A weeks ago i bought a second hand ps2 (already equipped with a matrix infinity modchip), everything was fine until last night: when i was playing with some friends suddenly the game freezed i reset and played again but it freezed again, this time i turned it off and changed cd but the ps2 didn't turned on, the led became green for a fraction of second and then go back to red. I disconnected the power and waiting a while (maybe it was overheated) plugged again but the problem remains.

Any suggestions? If u need other information tell me please.

thnx for any response

It may be a loose wire on the mod. You'll have to open it up and take a look inside...

while you're there, also check that no wires or the chip are touching the metal plates over the board

i checked the ps2 and everything is ok... someone has told me that it could be the safeguard system that has gone in short-circuit and keeps the ps2 in standby. it's possible?

If that had of gone, you wouldn't even be getting Standby...

Sounds like it could be a 'PS'xx fuse on the motherboard.

xx denotes any number.

The main board fuses are called 'PS' fuses, i.e. PS3 / PS13 etc. They are like small black cubes, and it is likely one of these has blown.

The laser has absolutely nothing to do with this type of problem - it's on the mainboard fuses somewhere if nothing is grounding...
