Hi,

I have the same problem. I bought a slim ps2 a week ago. While booting it read Infinity v.1.39 so i assume(d) it had a Matrix Infinity chip. I read here that there is a new firmware, checked Matrix website and saw my version there too. So i couldn't go wrong right??

Well i upgraded the fw to 1.45 and now circle triangle doesn't bring the chip menu anymore. This Matrix logo pops up and the thing freezes.

Anyway i can undo this upgrade?

Anyone has a Modbo fw image i can use?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: Doesn't this thing need to do a checksum before it upgrades fw? Shouldn't it have told me that the chip is not intended for that fw?

Nope, thats what you get for supporting the cloners. If you purchased this with an install from an installer, well then I feel for you and you should contact them and let them know your problem.

As far as I know there is no fix for this problem, oh wait yes I do know one. RIP that CLONE OUT and install a true infinity!

Thanks for the reply Spedmetal.

I wasn't aware of clones at the time, i bought it premodded. And if i had known i would have paid a 100 bucks over and get it with a decent chip. Now i have to pay that 100 bucks anyway (93$ to be exact, what they charge here in Istanbul - Turkiye)...
