SCPH-1001 wont go past startup screen

Picked one up for free. Boots to the white screen but wont go beyond that. Stays there forever and wont even go to the bios menu. I tried to reflow the bios chip with some heat to see if that would re-set the chip, but nothing. Am I dealing with a bad bios chip?

No, sounds like something failing in CD-ROM subsystem (servo mechanics, door/lid sensor or integrated circuits).
