PS2 Slim Magic Switch ~ mod

[Sandmonkee]

Hi

I just got my brand spanking new PS2 Slimline for my birthday, and after already scratching my first game (grrr) I'm looking into mod chips so I can make back-ups. I did a bunch of looking, and eventually came across something called the "Magic Switch" which is basically a few little pieces of plastic which will make the PS2 think the lid is closed even when its not, thus allowing me to use Swap-Magic. I was just wondering if anyone has installed this mod (ie the little pastic bits) and has had some success. In short, I'd like to know its worked for some other people before I go ahead and buy it myself.

Here's a link to what I'm talking about (scroll down the page for a big picture)

and here's details on how its installed...

What do you think? Sound plausible? Has anyone actually used this and got it to work?

Thanks!
