Wow Alex, I am amazed at the reasons you gave for not modding your PS2,

You are opening up your PS2 and exposing it to dust. You are then permentaly SOLDERING a foreign object into a mass produced product. Solder is renowed for drying out, getting dusty, and coming lose which will screw up the insides.

Be happy you did not try to open your PS2 to modded, you would have definitely fried it. Make sure you keep using the knife trick, after all that is not a foreign object to be sticking in your PS2, is a cooking object. For the rest of you that want to mod your PS2, the most important things you have to worry about when modding your PS2 is 1. static electricity 2. solder bridges ( when you solder two points together that are not suppose to touch) 3. cold solder ( when you think you properly soldered the wire to the trace when in fact you did not let the solder melt enought to create a solid connection) 4. make sure the wires go to the correct point.
