I've had 2 broken PS2's for a while and I finally broke down and snatched up the parts I needed to fix one of them(power/eject ribbon cable and cable for the controller port). Now the system powers up fine and the controller works but once the BIOS screen comes up and asks me to select the browser or memory card it freezes, not quite sure what to make of it, I've checked all the connections and everything appears fine.
Right before it started freezing I wasn't getting any data from the DVD drive, so I checked the ribbon connections and they were both undone(laser and CD board), I reconnected them and the laser does move, but the motor might be fried, I'm not sure, it'll spin for about half a sec and then stop when the PS2 freezes. I also checked over the ribbon cables to make sure they weren't broken and they appear to be fine.
Either way, I don't know enough about this to figure this out on my own, any help would be appreciated.
