just take your time soldering.practice on an old mobo if ya have one laying around.
as far as v9 issues yea there are alot out there with issues but in my mind they are no diffrent than any ps2 matter o fact every ps2 that was released v1-10 has had issues.
so i'm sure someone else here knows the proper site for this fix it before it breaks method.
but when ya mod a ps2 your taking chances anyhow so i would skip the whole v9 fix!
