I have begun modding my version 6 pal machine with a chip i bought from modchipstore.com, who gave me a diagram but it is inconsistant with my machine and I really could use a hand. I'm talking now about a chip i don't know if its genuine but its got magic 3.1+ written on it and a smiley.
Can anyone assist me, has anyone had dealings with this chip / company?

If anyone else has any suggestions if any one has encountered this chip, or has had similar problems with diagrams in the past AND HAS FOUND THE REQUIRED COMMMONALITIES. or anyone perhaps who just has the know-how and savvy required in such a situation.

This should I hope show you a picture of the m/board in question, in the centre badly highlighted in grey is an anomolous chip which is not in the original fitting diagram. see below
http://ww.w.modchipstore.com/product_16146_Magic_31_No_Swap_Mod_Chip_for_Playstation_2.html
Zip file on that page.
Any assistance is enormously appreciated and by the way,
nobody should have dealings with MODCHIPSTORE.COM there after-sales service is non-existant!

The difference as can be seen via the urls above, is a large no-descrpit black(no text on it.) chip. Which is not there in the diagram, that is showing a smaller chip in its place and power soldering point a little black block with 63 on it.
I have found another point 63 the only other one. I was thinking that must be where i should solder to. It is just below/right of the power supply connection to the rest of the sytem the white block with four pins.

it just pulls off, it's stuck on with a small spot of glue type substance on the main chip under it
