I made a mistake with two via's on the back of my board. I've tried to remove it with desoldering braid with no luck. Is there anything small enough to get into the vias to force the solder out ? I need to get these vias cleaned out in order for the chip to work. The install of my Matrix Infinity chip is complete except I get a black screen and i'm sure its because of the two vias that have solder in them that shouldnt :(

Thanks for your help!

It shouldn't make a difference filled or not.

Check the BIOS points.

Ok, now I double checked my connections and now it plays my original ps2 dvd fine and I get the Infinity logo 1.35 when it boots. It will not boot any backups I get the Red Screen. I had this problem on another install with my wires being wrong but i've double checked all my connections on this install and can't seem to see anything wrong.

What causes the Red Screen?

yes wont make a diffrence if the vias are filled or not once they are not bridgeing anything does is have to go the the browser screen when loading as if it does then the laser is week and this messes with the boot pro also what size wire did u use? will it boot ps1 backups/ps2 cd-r backups look over the vias u soldered to and the bios chip legs and see if all the wires are atached well
hpes it helps
