Soldering
 

Ok..its not easy to size up whether or not $75.00 is enough for someone to connect a chip into my PS2 so I can play burned games - yes I can afford it, but is the service really that worth it?

Is it possible to go to Radio Shack buy a $15(?) Soldering Iron maybe find some broken computers to practice on and pick up some of the right kind of wire (?) and just put a chip in myself?

Basically, how difficult is it to became good at soldering and not break my PS2 and successfully install a no-swap mod?

Any tips, advice, criticisms, or links or appreciated...thanks

Getting someone to install it for you is worth every penny, especially if you have zero soldering experience. Only $60 for Bill of www.freedomlives.com to do the install. I know someone who will do it for $30 as well. Send me a pm if you are interested.

Wow 30$ dose he do it for every body or only certen peps. and do u think he can do a v9 system? cause i want a new chip that will boot the newest games and how trsuted is here and is he in the u.s?

No, it is just loy. But yes, he is very reliable. Look here

If he is a good installer and will do it for $30 then go for it.Thats the cheapest i have ever seen, me as well as most of the installers i know charge $60 bucks and you furnish the chip, i furnish the wire and skill.
