just recently i installed a messiah 2 pro v1.33 chip in a v9 ps2. The strange thing is that I get the " red screen of death" almoust every time i boot a backup..Sometimes it works but mostly it dont..I've installed these chips 2times befor with no problems..

I opened up the ps2 and started loking for bad connections/bridges and wires badly connected..nothing?

I used a multimeter to se if anything was shorted or badly connected(between legs and to the messiah chip..nothing..nothing?

I ensured nothing was lying against the grounded metal cover by using tape over solderpoints..nothing?

I've tried everything including resoldering points just to be sure..no changes?? I'm starting to belive its either the laser or a bad messiah chip? but the ps2 is brand spanking new, so I doubt its the laser?

Anyone heard about rumors of bad messiah v1.33 chips?
or bad compatibillity between messiah and the v9 ps2??

I have the same mod chip in my ps2 ver. 9...mine was installed professionally .. my problem is that it wont let me put the mod chip to sleep ....i have done it but it takes many, many tries. Other than that it works fine. GO CYBER SHOP..THEY SUCK.

fox278 I think the problem is that on a v9 you use the eject button instead of the reset button to put it in sleepmode..To put it in sleep mode do this:

-Put ps2 in standby mode(red light)
-Press and hold EJECT for atleast 5 sec to open disktray and set sleep mode.
-Place game into disktray,press EJECT to close
-Messiah is disabled until you put it back to standby

WIERD!!, I got the v9 ps2 to work, but I always have to boot an original game, then hit reset, and then boot the backup????When I do it this way the game boots every time??But if I don't boot the original first, and hit the powerswitch to turn it on/off, then backup will rarely boot??? wtf!!? I'm confused?

I'm completely sure my soldering are ok since I've measured them, resoldered and have chipped many ps2 before..What a wierd prob, I tought everything in ps2 was cleared when you hit reset, but this is obviously not the case here? You have to completly shut it down the clear stuff internally..

I'm puzzled??Anyone have any idea what it could be??
