How to tell which version you have "part 2"
 

Sorry I did'nt supply all the required info,
So here it is for you sage few.SCPH 30003 PAL.Europe

Thanks again

Does it have a R at the end of the 30003? If so its a V5.....

No R at the end, but I thought that only indicated that it was a game pack console ie; it came with a free game in the box

PAL
10 screws on bottom v3
8 screws on bottom 2 screws in expansion bay v4
8 screws on bottom 3 screws in expansion bay v5

I would like info on my version also? Would also like to know if there are any no swap chips that will work on my version?
spch:30001 no R
serial:U16
barcode:PT11
datecode:1A

Thanks for any info that's given.

BG.......

Look on the bottom of your PS2 and see if there is a electrical warning stamped in the bottom....
If so: Its a V4
If not: Its a V3

Thanks for you info. Yes there is a warning on the bottom of my ps2. Could you tell me if there are any no swap mod chips that will work my version? Thank again.

The Magic 2 will work....You will need to know the date code to purchase the correct one....
The date code should start with either 1A 1B or 1C...Its located on the same sticker as the SCPH number....

Thanks for every thing you have been a great help. Now to find a place where I can buy one.

Just search the internet for "Magic 2".... You will find a place easily...:cool:

Hey BG (or charlie) I'm still a little mixed up right now. Even though you told me if I have a electrical warning at the bottom of my PS2 it's a v4(which it does), I searched around the forum and in some post it said if the PS2 has 10 screws it's a v3 and mine has 10 screws. So given the infomation again could you tell me which version I have?

SCPH:30001
BAR CODE: PT11
SERIAL CODE: U16
DATE CODE: 1A
SCREWS: 10
ELEC WARNING: YES

Thanks for your help.
