v1 problems
 

I am installing a messiah chip in my brothers v1. Its seems that there is a secondary board for the power source between the first one and the motherboard. This seconardy board has the usual for pins connecting it to the motherboard. These pins seem extemely difficult to remove. If anybody has a good way of doing this please let me know. I have asked around and nobody seems to have much experience at v1's. I fthere is an alternate point for SCex and clk points on the front that would be great but seems unlikely seeing how they're not listed in the installation manual.

dont bother on the v1 it has a weak laser. Sell that v1 on flea bay and use the proceeds to buy a new v7 with a good laser.

Good luck trying to play backups on your v1.:rolleyes:

I thought that it might play dvd-r because it is newly refurbished back from sony so I assume it has a new laser in it. I have given up anyway due to those four pins. Tried so hard i thought I was going to break the board and they never even budged.

I HAVE A V1 THAT I SENT TO BILL @ FREEDOMLIVES.COM AND HE DID A GREAT JOB ON IT IF YOU WANT IT REALLY DONE.

I have solved this problem by finding alternate solder points
