Hardware Question

[drewms]

Ok, I was wondering if different model number ps2 parts are compatable with different model parts, for example, would everything except the motherboard from a v7 ps2 work with a older version motherboard?

hmmm might do i spose v5 v6 will be ok

[drewms]

k thanks,

I already had a ps2 and I found a extremely cheap one which I tried to install a modchip in but it didnt work, this was a v7 ps2. My cousin was looking on ebay at the like $30 parts ps2's that are like v5-6, to get a motherboard to replace the broken one.

Ok u could do that be careful try get a v7 mobo but try desoldering the bodged up ps2 then it may work or u may of blown fuses or a resistor which is a bit of a bummber

[seaneyb2003]
