if you dont know the answer to all of these,do not attempt to do it yourself
search on the net for installation instructions.....print them off,and get a electrician to do it for you

I agree with Hursty. If you have never soldered before
DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL A MODCHIP!
you will screw up and ruin your PS2
Send it to a place like http://steelcityelectronics.com/
here is what they say, and from what i hear they do a top notch job.
ALRADY HAVE A CHIP ?
ANY CHIP YOU HAVE IN YOUR Version 4-12 PS2
$50 USD - Cust. supplies any chip
60 day warranty against any install related problems. note: there is no warranty on lasers or other part's not affected by an install or a repair .
Price includes install/return priority shipping (continental u.s.)

Hurst and Steimy know what they are talking about. If you don't have any experience soldering, the fine detail SMT pins will be too much for a newbie to handle. I'm not saying you definitely can't do it, but replacing a PS2 motherboard because you fubared it up is much more expensive than paying someone to install the chip for you. Not to mention the cost of the tools (im assuming you don't have any of the tools) will probably be as much as an installation alone.
If you really insist on doing it yourself just Google "learn to solder" or something. You need a fine pencil tip soldering iron (low wattage), some 60/40 rosin core solder, a desoldering braid, maybe a magnifying glass. All things you can get at Radio Shack.
