Oh by the way, yes its a direct clone on new Magic KX which is there new v9-v12 compatable chip. If you look at the chip its layout is exactly the same, as the Magic V's the only difference it the color of the PCB.
I have also been in correspondence with a guy who claims he had his PAL V12 installed with a Magic KX and with in just a few days the laser burnt out. So if this thing is a clone of the Magic line we already have proof that the Magic is having trouble as well. Dont get me wrong I'm not trying to say its any particular chip as it doesn`t seem to matter what chip or lack there of that's causing this issue which leads me to believe its Sony's manufacturing, but hell what do I know?
Yeah I agree what a gay name for a mod chip, that's even worse then modbo!
