check your reset ribbon cable. You may have buggered it up.

Try taking out the chip if. if the ps2 works after, then it could be the install or defective chip.

its not as easy as you think.

PLus you need to desolder the wires, since thats where the problem would be.

I had the same problem with my infinity matrix, desoldering was more easier than puting it in.

I find I can solder something up much esier than I can desolder things. Maybe I am just challeneged like that.

You could try a maginfying glass and check the solder points. Particulalry the smaller close together ones. There may be a chance that one is bridged.

You may also check the fuses on your main board. There are pics on the net of which ones to check and where they are and what they do.
