Really strange one, console boots up and shows the PlayStation loader like normal, but then without a disc in it doesn’t come up with Browser/configuration, it just goes black.
Very strange, it loads games up fine and works perfectly other than this.
Help! Thanks, Luke

Hi Luke!
Is the console modded? Because it sounds like it is.
Anyway, it's possible that the modchip is broken or not configured correctly.
I can't help you with the modding part, but I recommend to remove it, if it's there.
If it's not modded at all, then it's broken on firmware level. This is very difficult to fix and basically a motherboard replacement is required....

Hi mate! Thanks for the response once again!
How can I tell if it’s modded? I’m assuming you mean at hardware level, if you let me know what to look for I’ll open it up and take a look!
Thanks, Luke
No problem :)! Yeah at hardware level! When you open it, using this guide: PlayStation 2 Slimline Motherboard Replacement
You will probably see a chip with a LOT of cables soldered on to the motherboard. That would be the mod chip! You can share photo's with us if you are not sure! Thanks :)!

Hi Koppie!
Thank you for the reply! Do you the motherboard model I should be looking for a PS2 SCPH-70004?

Hi!
That is a PS2 Slim. I think you need the GH-1032-32 motherboard. But you need to open it to be 100% sure. Part can be found here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/387138643450
