Hi I have a problem and I am wondering if someone out there can help. See my PS2 model is SCPH 75001 and I am trying to Mod it with SwapMagic 3, It came with 3 pieces A,B,C, I can put A and B in perfectly but C is a big problem, there is a Metal piece right next to the hindge in the upper left hand corner blocking any chance of putting piece C in. Is it possible to open up my PS2 and remove this piece or is there any other option?
Piece C This is what I mean, the link goes to a site and shows how it is supposed to be put in if you look at Pic 1 it shows a good example, The Metal piece is right next to the Hindge.
The site you linked to... go back to it and look at piece E. Sony probably added the small metal plate to discourage swap magic users, since they're the only people really affected by it. Piece C was only for the earlier slim models (V12 to whatever). Also, if you don't care about the warranty, you can use tape and tissue or something else to keep the third censor down. You can also make your own Piece E with some plastic (like the plastic that wraps most cheap toys and such) and some tape. There used to be a guide on youtube but it was deleted for the usual copyright concern garbage. I used it for a while but sometimes I'd have to re-align it, but it keeps the warranty valid.
