ok, first install of the chip went flawless. played for about 4 hours, switched cd's and it wouldn't load any backed up cd's... rip it apart... loose wire...
after fixing that, I manage to smash the fan wire so the fan doesn't work... splice wire and stupidly forget to wrap it up. turn on and Bzzzzzt. open it up and fan fried. take the fan out (cooling it w/ top off and outlet fan atm) and there is that horrid tinny sound everyone talks about. try the alt clk and moving wires off components etc. nothing. rip chip/wiring completely out.
ps2 sound ok w/o chip, so i reinstall chip. tinny sound is gone, but now every 5-10 minutes the sound goes on/off. thought maybe a intermitent connection. check everything, nothing. rip chip out again.
re-installed chip, and it is still happening. if chip is out, ps2 sound is normal and good. chip in, it goes off and comes on every 5-10 mins.
Think i bzzzzzt'ed my messiah 2 chip? there a way to test it or anything?
