which messiah 2 chips need to get that track cut....
 

i installed a messiah 2 modchip in my version 7 ps2 and i know i did a good job. I read the guide for travelsooting the install guide all the way in the bottom. In the bottom it says that some messiah 2 modchips are difective and that to fix the problem you need to cut the track in the bottom of the chip. It says that these messiah's are the version 245 and below and i have a 243. Do you guys think i should cut that track or do you guys know where i can find a list of the messiah 2 versions that are defective?
thanks in advance!:confused:

attached is a clip from the guide with a diagram showing the fix.

so should i do it?
:confused:

Yes. Good luck.

how deep into the track do i have to cut??

The tracks on PCB's are paper thin. It shouldnt take much.

well i cut them, but it did not work. It still gives me a red screen when i try and play my backups. I hear the chip try to work, but then it gives me a red screen. WEll any other suggestions are wellcomed, but thanks regardless for everything guys!!!!!!!!:cool:

what version is your PS2?

it's a version 7.

send it to a pro to fix. where r u?

i'm in buffalo new york, but i just ordered a duo chip cause i herd it's better. I also installed a magic 3.1 but it did not work well and the messiah just did not work at all. After i install the duo chip, i'll find out what's wrong with it. However i think it might be my lens that needs to be recabalated.

ok u sure its not your soldering? does origonals work?

If not try sriping the console of all wires and buy some new kynar maybe its broken somewhere bit dumbass thing 2 say, could happen though

i'm sure my installation is good, but i'll take another look when i install the duo chip.
Thanks for all your support man!;)

thats alright. Does origonals still work.

yeah originals and dvd movies. No problams.
