Got my v9 in today :)

[EVOEvo]

i have to say this works great i just trun it on pop a game in and it loads no hitting reset and freedom frighters boots fine as well as true crime i'd say this chip is very close to begin as good as a m2 they pretty much do the same thing i could had swore i read some were the the smart chip removes the ps2 logo when playing games for a faster boot mine still has the logo but its no biggy for me

[fanta]

Yep thats true about the smartchip it boots straight into the game

[EVOEvo]

well come to find out now minds screwing up i was playing freedom fighters and paused the game for about 15-20 mins then left the room when i came back the system was in stand by mode and red light flashing off and on and when i hit reset or eject nothing happen so i turned the power off then back on and it worked again i have not tested it by playing the game but will and if it happens again i will send it back to netmech it sounds like to me eather A the chip is over heating B a bad install or C a bad chip or could be D the unit but usely when these mess up the system dies.

Look at the back and see if your fan is running. He might have forgot to hook it back up.

[EVOEvo]

ill be damed the fan is not working i could had swore i checked that its so quit now i thought it was working lol i will take it apart and see if i can hook it back up

[bighap]

Fairly common for the the fan to be forgot about. Be careful.

[EVOEvo]

well i took it apart and the worse was what i saw the plug them that it hooks to came ud from the mother board some how so i got my 25 watt iron out and spent about 2 hours trying to solder them dam lil points with the fan wire talking about pissing some body off its hell to solder with the big of iron burned my self no telling how many times but i finly got it on there and its working theres one thing im not sure about dose the air from the fan blow outside the unit makeing it suck air through or dose it suck air from the back side into the unit cause i belive i got it right cause it blows air out the back were i can feel it but i want to be sure cause i know when u hook a fan up backwords it works back words

Hey EvoEvo, just an ole trick of the trade, if the iron tip is too big.
I believe you can take it to a grinder and tone it down a bit then get it hot again and dip it in melted solder, and shake off the excess. thus giving you a finer tip to work with. should make it easier for persicion jobs in the future. (if you didnt already know this) Hope your v9 is Ok man. Let us know... Happy Holidays dude

[bighap]

@EVOEvo

Yeah you got it in the right way.

[EVOEvo]

i figer i will just buy me one on ebay in case something like this ever happens again do u know what watt i should use and gauge of iron point i would need and i tested the system aftr that no more shuting off

[bighap]

Radio Shack's 15 watt soldering iron will do the trick.

[EVOEvo]

yeah i heard 25 watt is to much for ps1 and 2 systems

[Tim-V]

IS everything working fine now that you fixed the fan problem?

I'm waiting for my PS2v9 wiht DMS3v9 from socalmods.com

Should I get V7 with m2 1.33b instead?

[dust2dust]

smartchip boots no ps2 logo ,thats a fact

[EVOEvo]

hmm i dont know i bought it from net mech he said something about smart chip pro. I dont know if thats a better or not but it has ps2 logos on it but it boots like a m2 i pop the game in and hit close and it loads. I will ask netmech what kinda chip he used for sure and let u guys know. And aftr i fixed the fan it seems to be working great the laser makes more nosie then my apple on cereten games this only dif that i could tell
