Here are some very detailed instructions that have been designed to help you modify your Playstation as quickly as possible. In order to begin your modification you will need the following:
-
A soldering iron with a fine tip and solder (we send you super thin solder, use it!)
-
A philips head screwdriver
Now that we have the materials we are ready to modify the Playstation!
|
| 1. Disconnect all power and A/V cords from your PS2. Ensure all devices including memory cards, controllers, compact discs and/or DVD’s are removed from the system. |

| CAUTION: Due to the heat involved in soldering, you must only hold the iron tip on the pad to be soldered for enough time to allow the solder to flow. If too much heat is applied to the contact it may damage the chip, lift a PCB trace or burn insulation back on the wire. If you burn the insulation off of the wire, trim and re-solder the connection. Removing too much insulation could result in the exposed copper wire touching other traces on the board. This is hazardous to the PlayStation2 unit. |
|
|
|
| IMPORTANT: Once all of the wires are attached, visually inspect the board to ensure that none of your retouched solder pads are touching any adjacent traces, that there is no excess solder on the board and all connections are clean and tight. Carefully re-solder any contacts that you suspect may not be making a clean connection. You can now tape the ModChip on the board in a clear area where it will not be damaged. |

After double-checking all connections, follow the above steps in reverse order to re-assemble the PlayStation2.
Once you have completely re-assembled the unit, plug in your power source and video outputs. Power up the PlayStation2. Test the unit FIRST with an original game.
