I have never modded a PS2, but I'm not new to the mod world. I've done other systems previously including the gamecube. but I am having a lot of problems with point S on the Duo3 modchip with a version 13 PS2. I already broke 2 PS2 doing this. They are not working anymore becuase those pieces that the wire connects to on point S broke off. If anyone knows what I'm talking about please reply quickly and give me a good solution to how I should solder this wire. It's extremely tiny and hard to do.

here's the diagram for what i'm talking about. It's in box 2.

Try putting it into the thru hole to the left of it. Scrape or burn off the board coating beforehand. Also it is possible to re-attach the piece.

Well actually I now have a new version of the PS2. I got a V14 and it doesn't have that hole anymore. I thought it would be a little easier since it gives me a little (although almost insignificant) more space to work with.
And how do you re-attach it? I can't seem to do it for my life. It is extremely tiny. Have you done it before? If so, how?

Clean off the spot as much as possible, then put a bead of solder on each end. If the solder doesn't stick, the coating on the board needs to be cleaned off better, a tiny bit of flux would help also.

It is too little to do that. How am I supposed to hold it while i solder it? Do I really need this piece? I tried turning on the PS2 with out it and it worked. It is really necessary?

Well, I'm sure it's there for a reason. Try putting a bead of solder on one side of it and then put it in place and melt the solder to the board.

Well the problem with that is that it's way too tiny to do that. if i put it in place and touch the solder iron with it, it'll just come attached to the iron. Have you done this before?

I use a medical forecep to hold on to it, but I suppose that a tweezer will work also. Hold onto it with one contact side up, place a good sized bead of solder on the top side, let it freeze, place it onto the board, remelt the solder, then apply more to the other side. Do not hold the iron there for very long or it will come off again. Make sure that the tip is clean and tinned. Use a 15 or 10 watt soldering iron. Be sure that the contacts are clean before trying to affix it to the board.

Ok I went out and jsut bought a new PS2. I also used a new modchip for this, also a DUO 3. I installed the modchip and all the wires are connected properly. I used a multimeter to check, but now the PS2 won't boot any games. Original or backups. Everything seems to work fine except that. What happened now?

Does it boot PS1 games at all? Is there any evidence that the chip is working, like the ability to disable it?
