ps1 mod chips
 

dose any body know of a good site that sells ps1 mod chips i would like to get one that has lil wires as possible to solder and for a good price

You only want a 4 wire chip then, Hell, I'll give you one of my used pulls, if you're in North America! - jprcus (at yahoo . com)

you can use a code breaker as a bootdisk. They only cost 10.00

i got mine - a 7 wire deal from consolesource.com...10 bucks...(relatively) easy to solder...check them out

thinks for the free chip i got it in today but could i use any thin wire and on the dirgram dose the solder points all match cause i know were a diagram for the stelth chip so could i just follow there instarutions or do i have to solder then in dif points

I like to use wire wrap, you can tear apart a little 3 volt electric motor and unwind some. The laminated coating will melt away where you solder it. If you have a 7 wire diagram, just use pins 1,5,6,8 and ignore the 3 extra points for stealth chips, it should work.

would thi digram work http://www.modchip.ca/install/ps/101...2-install.html
and would u know were what wire gose on the mod chip say like
1-4 is one side of the chip 5-8 is other side so what numbers would i need to solder the wires to on the chip and 1 last ? i got a solder iron but its kinda big i can change tips but have none do i need to get a small solder iron and dose any body know of a good cheap place to buy a small one online

1 - - 5
2 - - 6
3 - - 7
4 - - 8

You have 5-8 backwards.

With the notch at the top and looking at the marked side:

1- -8
2---7
3---6
4---5

That diagram should work, careful of point 6, I’ve taken off a few microcaps by mistake. The tip of my iron is abut 3 times bigger than one of those little yellow capacitors. You get the solder on the tip of the wire first, touch it to the side of the capacitor and touch an edge of the iron to the wire for just a second and it should bond. You might want to practice on a junk PC board or something with microcaps.

ok i solder the chip in finaly got it done took about 30 mins did 4 wires to solder used the digram on the url posted here and put in copy disk read error so i tryed original disk read error im like wtf went through 30 mins for nothing and burned my finger and now it wont work so i took the chip out and it works fine so eather a bad chip or i solder in wrong spots the digram i used shows 7 solder points so i figerd i will buy a mod chip that has wires all rdy connected and go from there digram and see what happens

n/m i got it working i hard to solder number 7 wire in to get it to work it works great now thnx

Problems with the Modification chip in my Sony PsOne
 

Hi there,

Just thought that since you guys seem to know what your talking about you may be able to help me. I got a "professional" to stick a Mod-Chip in my Sony PsOne. I believe it was a 4-wire one, can't say for sure. Anyways, he claims he did it properly, but a lot of my games struggly to load on it - I get a red screen reading something like 'please insert original Playstation disc'. I will admit it doesn't happen to all the games, and usually after a few goes it will work fine. Do you reckon this is a proplem with the cheap C.D.'s I have used in the past, or with the Mod-Chip?

Thank you,
Scott.

Sounds like a laser problem. Try burning a good brand like Verbatim or slower burning speed.
