Crystal Chip in a V9. My first CC, but certainly not my last! :D

http://www.users.on.net/~boros/CCV9.htm

Nice job - you've certainly come a long way since that first install :D

Would you believe the first install was for a paying customer!!!??? :eek:

I'm going after Sped's mantra of the shortest wire and the neatest install! Its great to post ur work cos otherwise, who's ever gonna see it? (apart from my first cutomer that is!) :p

very good install!!but 8 diodes doesn't protect the coils...it better use 4 zener or 6 diode....

I use the Crystal fix cos its nice and simple to install. Is this enuf protection or do I still risk burnout?

I tried the Neofix II once but it stopped the PS2 from powering up! Looks dodgy too... :confused:

The best fix is use 4 diode zener...

blah.... no one knows what the best fix is. I have installed over 50 of these and not had a single issue. All the fixes out there are experimental and all seem to have been fairly successful. We might be installing the comsoft or the subzero (new summone fix) fix soon.

the seaneyb fix looks better ;)

LOL... yeah sean your picken up what I'm puttin down!

meh seaneybs back beware :p but not for long......

Whatever

I know that 8 diode doesn't protect the coils (1.2volt is too big)...and the K point (the point that is controlled by the pic) doesn't do his work on every "block"....

aaahh, i use a 100k // with the 105 resistor (1Mohm) near the Z point

excuse me for my bad english

No need to apologize, I understand you loud and clear and I'm sure you understand my points too.

Keeping my ear close to the ground on the Summone fix. I've read just about every post and there are so many contradicting comments.

For the whole part, it's nice and simple to install and so far looks to have a great success rate. Gonna try it on a v12 of a good friend so I can monitor. :)

Here's my first v12 mod using Crystal 8 diode fix... http://www.users.on.net/~boros/DMS4%20v12.htm :cool:

Crystal Chip in a V4.
THis is my own unit so I can eval the CC and its features. :D

http://www.users.on.net/~boros/CC%20v4.htm

I get a lot of gap v4's for some reason. (including my own but with a new laser of course) Lasers are only just hanging on in some of them but they go ok with a bit of tweaking... Always gotta let them know they'll be up for a A$70 laser soonish tho.

Here's a cheapmod Duo2se in a v4. Great chip! Bulletproof. :)
THis is also my official entry into the worlds shortest (complete mod) wire competition! Damn those eject lines...ur lettin the team down!

Good job borosa.

DMS4 Pro in a V12 with the Comsoft V4 fix. This fix is swwweeettt!!! It has a flashing LED to let you know that its monitoring the laser which can be seen through the fron grill. Not only does it look cool but is serves a purpose. I'm now stocking these fixes and they will be added to the site soon.

Ah another Ozzie on the scene! ;)

Let me know how you go - take note of whether you have a wide laser SPU3170 G or a narrow laser PVR802 as the fix seems to have killed at least two wide lasers by making one coil go open...

Example of the fix using SMT resistors with wide lens - worked for weeks until one of the coils went open - possibly manufacturing fault, bad luck or use of GTA:SA by customer

Funny how the lit area of your picture is nowhere near your work?

Here is a V12 with a Crystal Chip and HD-Connect

http://www.norcalmods.com/graphix/cc-hdc.jpg

Here are a few pic's of an Xbox jewel I did recently.... very fun to do :)

Pic1,Pic2,Pic3,Pic4,

how the hell are youre installs so neat. UGH. theyre like mona lisa mods. more of a piece of art than hacked technology.

i thought mine was neat, and i guess it was a little, but compare it to yours and it would look like a picasso next to a gauguin.

Wow did this install work?? Not trying to be mean or anything it just looks like chip pins V,R and GND are all bridged in that big blob of solder on the GND.

Thanks for the complements :D

Do what I do... Use the pics of the pro installs as a guide to improving your own installs. The more U do, the better you get. ;) Its great to show off your stuff on the forums. :)

ive gone and modded mine now, and it works like a nut. NO WAY Am i THINKING about taking that thing apart again :p. oh man, modded PS2's rock SO MUCH. I've been sessioning Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, MGS3, everything man. and the fact that it does all DVD's and PS1 coipies is the icing on the cake.

bustin nuts dudes. a few of my friends have asked me to do theirs, now theyve got wind that i can do it. this time im going to use flux and all that stuff. i would mind if i f**ked my own up..(actualy, i would, id be pi$$ed, and i really wouldnt care about other peoples :p ) but with other people its just not right.

i HAD actually screwed mine up, i bridged 2 pins on the BIOS chip. took my 3 days of picking and pinning razorblading, eventually i wedged it out, and multimeter read high resistance.

/rant. sorry about that, i got carried away. if my friends' mods of mine are successful, i'll overcome my shyness and post it. actually im not shy at all, i dont give a shiz, i just dont have a digi cam :p
