Chosen Solution

I repaired a backwards compatible ps3 after it got the ylod using the ifixit kit, and it works fine now, except that it no longer has the ability to play ps2 games. This feature was the only reason it was repaired, is there a reason this feature would be lost, and is there a way to restore it?

@snafumonkey79 just in case it doesn’t work, here’s a potential work-around: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=3… Edit: the backwards compatibility happens because of the emotion engine chip, according to this: http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/30444/t1…. I’d make sure that’s connected correctly, etc. Check out Step 35 of the teardown for a look at where it is: PlayStation 3 Teardown.
