Hey everyone, thought I'd jump to a more correct forum with my given problem.

Having installed the mod chip, BIOS and DSP clips, and the eject slot, I should be all hunky dory when it comes to running my PS2. However, I've stumbled across a new problem: there's no power being supplied to the reset/eject buttons and/or other parts of the system. All I'm getting is a faint buzzing noise once I turn on the power switch on the back of the PS2.

That tells me that the power adapter is working, so the next step would be to wonder whether it's a ribbon cable that's the problem. But as far as I can tell, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the cables right now. None of them appear to be broken or anything.

So I ask you, nay, I beseech you, fellow forum mongers. Give me some input, helpful at that.

Edit: Now I'm confident that it's not a ribbon wire problem. When I press either the reset or eject buttons, the buzzing noise drops, and when I release them, it rises back up.

Take the mod chip off, send the PS2 to Sony and get it repaired, and don't fuck it up next time.
