I guess you have never actually sent in your PS2 to Sony for repair. LOL they dont fix the lasers for free any more. That was way back in the day with the poor quality 400B lasers. The warrenty sticker ...haha ... rip it off and stick it to your cats head. Unless you paid for an extended warranty from the store you bought it from if I remeber right the Sony warranty is only good for 90 days anyway.

I would say the exploit is not for the tech at all but 100% for the cheap ass.

I install the Apple Pro's for $25 in the V1-V7's which is cheaper then your $30 cheat device. The Apple pro has all the features of the Messiah which really was never very much. The Messiah was replaced by the current fourth gen chips which are much better.

So in the end a mod chip still shines brighter then your cheap ass exploit.

I don't think I can give out the number, or tell you what to say to them, but the last PS2 I had repaired was for a friend of mine, it was done about 2 months ago, takes them about 10 days.
Maybe you should try being nice with them on the phone, or maybe they know you mod

No skin off my teeth, Ps2 wasn't built right, psx wasn't either, and i never spent a dime on extending my warranty
Oh, and they updated my drivers to the progressive scan dvd mode too

$25 for a chip, I'll keep my warranty thanks, a new ps2 is still like $130, laser parts are probably half that, but I don't know I don't have the need to price parts

Hey ass, keep you're language in check, kids read this stuff, if you get upset about what I write go complain about it in your blog
I've sent in V2s V4s and V7s

How much did you're setup cost?
Lets do a tally
computer with dvd writer and lets say a spindle of dvds?
Your chip, your repair parts, oh and your Soldering Gun, ha
Yeah, still more than my exploit, HD, and network adapter, and my dirty dirty cheat device, ohhhhhhhh

Least I'm not selling anything!

I have never needed to send in a console for repairs as I can fix most myself especially laser issues. I know they dont do it for free because when I talk to people about there installs the laser must be working before the install. Some times people opt to send there unit into Sony to have the lasers repaired before they send it to me and its never free. Real modders arent afraid of a warranty sticker. You should see my collection of voided stickers ... it great. Its like the fighter pilots planes.... yes another one down!

I know you like your way because its cheap and the warranty not being voided gives you some sort of false sense of security that Sony will come to your rescue. But if the exploit was so good there would not be as many mod chips being installed as there are.

But dont get me wrong it is a good simple alternative if you already have the tools to do so, but will never be as versatile as a modded console.

Pending mod approval - Anyone who PMs me about having Sony repair your PS2 I will give you the number and tell you what to say - Note, they make give you a slim line replacement if they deem it cheaper than fixing you're old unit

Yeah, I sent in one that had the usb mod switch and the one wire installed, and no black sticker. You just have to be likable on the phone, have basic social skills, and remove the usb plug and wire, but that was easy enough to undo

And the chip came first, and then another, and then another, I really don't feel like repeating this X times for every chip, and the fake chips! So no wonder people know more about the far from perfect chip

I don't need a chip now, in fact my laser could break right now, and I could still play my PS2 no prob, which one you you chips let you do that???

And I sold that cheat device to someone else for $25, they were gona pay 80 for a chip
If cheap is better than yes, yes I am!
Maybe I'll take my laser out and go yes another obsolete part removed from my PS2

How can you do that with out your PSX original to trigger the exploit lol. Oh and by the way any Dev1 mod chip can boot HDL with out a laser hahaha.

I must say, Sped is hitting the issue square on the head.

Sounds like somebody is trying to justify using the less popular, less versatile methods of backup.

What about those games which don't work with HDL? Simply use your chip - put your disc in, hit reset and viola!.. Boot from disc

Good point. There are a small number of games that are incompatable with HDL that a mod chip will still boot from disc.
