I have tried reinstalling the mod chip and made sure everything is hooked up correctly. Nothing seems to have jarred loose or be hooked up wrong. I'm pretty sure the company i bought it from will not exchange it for me. They've been absolutely no help at all and sold me the wrong gameshark 2 to go along with the no solder mod chip, claiming it would work fine. Later I emailed them and they said oh, you need this other version not that one..even though they told me the version they sold me was the correct version that I needed.
Does it sound like it is a bad mod chip?
Also, sorry for the long paragraph earlier. I need either some sleep or some caffiene...very tired heh
