Blinking Led on Eject Button (blue) |
 |
If you
phase this problem, then you sould recheck the connections of G3 Plug-In.
You probably haven't plugged it all the way in, or while
you were closing back your console
it has been moved... |
Conclusion:
Always test if the Eject Button is working properly, before proceeding
to the next step!
This is a very usefull tip, to avoid extra work.
After the installation of Octapus#0, test the functionality of the
modchip by simply pressing Eject Button continuously.
If everything is ok, put the bottom cover and test again.
Then screw back the screws that you have removed and test again! This
way you will know what is the exact step that you phase the problem,
without having to screw/unscrew all screw back from the start!
Of course always Power Off your console when you move your console,
and then Power On to test, till you close back P$2!
Finally if you done everything right way but problem still exists,
then you will have to cut for 2x0.5 cm the plastic edge of dvd-rom
that is pressing Octapus#0 modchip... |
That's
All the troubles that you may phase with the plug&Play installation
of Octapus#0.
