no problem
most of the time, simply cleaning your ps2, especially the lens(carefully!) can do the trick and may save you the troble of adjusting the level of the lens.

I ment normal, as in a multimeter without a capacitance setting, I dont know what happens though, you sort of discharge the legs together, then test resistance and the resistance will grow as it is charged by the multimeter.
I have never tried this, just read it in a book.

Oh another question from you..
ok, I believe SMDs are similiar to tantalum types, get one of these, or a tantalum SMD (tantalums are low leakage).
Oh ok I just checked, I cant be bothered editing what I wrote above, but there are also electrolytic SMDs, so If you aren't going for a SMD get a suitable tantalum or electrolytic, however they are polarised so be careful!!!

well i'm pretty sure that it isn't an electrolytic smd, since they look like this:
Awwww MAN now i have to get a "tantalum" or what not capacitor!? This whole dillema would have been over if i could just use my orange-drop/box style caps...
 
^^these are the ones that i already have^^

and how can i tell where the positive and negative ends go?

100nF and 0.1 uF are the same :-) these are non polarized so there is no +ve or -ve, do not use any electrolytic types.
I do not live in canada, but you can find these at any electrnoice hobby shops etc.
does yuor ps2 power up and work ? This cap is possibly for decoupling the power supply most probably.

tantalum caps are polarized, but are smd ones polarized? would it hurt to just use this???

I did measure the thing in green. However, 2.3 Meg Ohm is almost an open, so I am not surprised if its a cap.

Tantalum=polarised
electrolytics=polarised, except some special ones
greencaps=non polarised
ceramics=non-polarised
The ones you have look like red greencaps(I know, sounds weird)
-you can use anything instead of ceramics, but not vise versa, you can use electrolytics or tantalums instead of greencaps, but not the other way around, so probably go for high voltage electrolytics, ask your electronic supplier which is - and which is +.

Thanx xshredx, it worked perfectly. Just made my first copy and it works. I made it using decrypter. Im not that bothered but since the chip installation my PS2 Version 9 chipped with DUO2SE wont play DVD movies, its displays the message please install a Playstation 2 disc. Any thoughts and thankyou once again.
Regards
Scotz

you're welcome, glad everything worked out.
after several attempts, my matrix infinity chip finally works flawlessly! the 100nF cap wouldn't let me boot ps1 originals/copies. I emailed the matrix team, and they gave me the exact value of the cap, which was a 0.0047uF(4700pF) ceramic 10% 50V. i'm glad it wasn't a tantalum, otherwise i would have no clue where the positive and negative ends go.
anyways, i would like to thank all of you for all of your help and suggestions! i really appreciated all of your input.
oh and Scotz, so let me get this straight: you installed a Duo 2SE chip into your v9 ps2. it wouldn't read ps2/dvd's, so you would get a disc read error. you did the disc read error fix, and it worked, but now you can't read dvds, is that right?
When I installed the matrix infinity, at one point it could only read ps1 games, and not dvd's or ps2 games. it didn't display a disc read error, it would just continue to make clicking noises. i tried doing the disc read error fix, and it wouldn't help. what i did was i resoldered the scex point and everything worked fine after that.
check your soldering and look for any bridges(two points that are connected, but are not supposed to be). when looking for bridges, a digital multimeter helps a lot. if you suspect a bridge between two points, set your meter on the resistance setting (ohms=Ω), and place the leads on each point. if the meter says 0 ohms then there is a connection between these two points.
good luck and merry christmas!

maybe you sould try buying a new one and solderng it one
The power of a wepon lies within its weilder rather than the wepon itself

Excellent, XShredX...glad to hear it worked out. If that happened to 99% of the population out there, they prolly would have written off their PS2 =D. You're a bad-ass =)
