Sorry I've been asking questions that might have been answered many times, but yet get a right description to the condition of my console.
my v14 console was bought in april, not recon set if i'm not wrong. Seldom abuse it (highest can get to 6~7 hours but not always), and played in an aircon room.
1. I've played my bro's RE:code veronica, it hangs. I've bought a new one, it hangs in the same event as the previous one. the condition is like the power wasn't turn off, but no sound no video, dvd still spins. games I bought recently like suikoden IV,V , black, fatal frame 1(got 2 pieces as well, and both hangs on same location/event) has this problem
2.some old games like GTA:SA (from my bro as well) I played for 6-7 hours, "never" hangs.

these 2 conditions gives me an unclear idea of the current condition of my console. I don't know it's the DVD problem or the lens/modchip problem. What's the problem and what can i do about it?

Hey guys,

I just got my Slim PS2 (SCPH-75006). Not really sure what modchip but I'm having trouble playing DVD movies. I've tested it with DVD9 games and all kinds of other games and it works fine. But once I pop in a movie DVD, it doesn't read it. It brings me to this screen where it has the memory card on the left, and a gold disc on the right... then it says pls insert a PS2 format disc.
The shop has already informed me that the PS2 has been modded to be able to play everything. Am I missing out on a step here? I've read elsewhere in these forums that I might have to press reset twice after powering on with the movie DVD inside but when I tried that, it didn't work.

Oh one last thing... I noticed the PS2 displayed on my TV has slight banding at the sides. Like this - ) ( - why is that so? I haven't tried it with another TV but anyone encountered such problems? I'm using the bundled AV cable into my usual AV in on the telly. Never had such problems with my Dreamcast.

Hope you guys can help me out. Cheers!

i would suspect its the tv. try to test ur ps2 on another telly.

the thing is... I noticed that it only doesn't work when I don't insert the disc properly; ie: not all 6 spring holders are holding on to the CD. So this causes the disc to not spin properly...

Waaa...PS2 also terrer...washing machine also terrer....
