Make sure wherever you are putting your chip won't cause any issues when putting the system back together, PS2 slims fit together very tightly.Use some thicker wire for the 5V and ground wires.Using 30 AWG solid core wire works well for most of the points.Here are some tips I have for you when you are soldering your chip into a V12. It can also reduce the effectiveness of a worn out laser (because the laser may actually need a higher voltage as it wears out). Because of that I do not recommend the diode fix. It works by reducing the voltage of the signal coming from the CD/DVD controller, which in turn reduces the amount of voltage going to the laser.I've heard of many cases where a system's laser will still burn out even with the diode fix installed. This fix involves soldering a couple of 1N4148 diodes to your PS2's main board. If the system doesn't turn off then you might need to try a lower resistor value, or you might have an issue with your chip or installation. If the system never turns on (or the red system light doesn't even turn on) then that means the resistor value is too low (try a 2k resistor). If the system turns on and then off about 3 seconds later then the installation is good. It can also be more time consuming to find the right resistor value if the 1.5k resistor doesn't work.To test the PIC fix installation connect pin 4 to GND instead of point K. The disadvantages to this fix is that it costs the most, and it could potentially shut off your system when you're playing a game. The PIC will sense when the disc mechanics (mechacon) controller crashes, and shut off the system when that happens so the laser won't get burned out.This is a great fix, since it only interacts with the system when things go wrong, and not all the time. This fix involves soldering a programmed PIC12C508 chip, along with a 1.5k-ohm resistor, to your PS2's main board.

Based on that value install the corresponding Rst resistor, and then install the 4.7k-ohm Rsf resistor.It's a very easy and cheap fix that reduces the maximum power doing into the laser preventing burnout.The disadvantage to this fix is that it can reduce the effectiveness of a worn out laser (because the laser may actually need a higher voltage as it wears out). This fix involves soldering two resistors to your PS2's main board. I recommend installing the summ0ne's fix at a minimum, but ideally you'd want to install the PIC fix. There was a defect in the design of the V12 console that can cause the laser to burn out when playing back games once a modchip has been installed. Some example versions are Modbo 3.0, Modbo 4.0, Modbo 5.0, and Modbo 750.įor more information about Modbo modchips click here, for more information about PS2 modchips in general click here. Note that there are multiple versions of the Modbo modchips available, but the installation diagrams are all the same. Note that there can be multiple board numbers within a specific model number. You can find the model number on the sticker on the bottom of the console, and the board number is printed on the PS2 main board if you take apart your console. Matching console model numbers and board numbers are listed below.

They retain full PS1 backwards compatibility, and require some form of a laser fix. They were found in most of the SCPH-7000x and all SCPH-7001x models.
