It dont really surprise me. As it turned out Charlie lied about alot of things. Dont get me wrong he had a wealth of knowledge but he was also very biased when it came to the messiah chip. He and Tylerdurden had a big argument about it as i remember. He was all about earning a profit so it wouldnt supprise me one bit if he sold people clones.

Thanks for the replies so far.... Come to think of it, it could also be possible that my installer swapped a legit messiah chip for this clone. In my memory the chip I got from charlie had "Actel" written on it and there was a label with Messiah 2 v1.33 or something like that. The chip that is in my console now, is secured in a way so I couldnt check if it was written on the other side of the chip(??) and I dont want to force anything. I think the install itself is ok, there were approx. 20 wires so that seems correct. I may take a new picture as this one was taken with a handycam instead of a digital camera, but Ill have to lend it from work....Anybody know what I could do to solve my rsod problem?

I got this reply on another forum board:

sorry to give you a bad news but that is not an original messiah even if it has datel written on it , the chip should be a scenix... but it' s stilla a clone of the original messiah2 (that uses an Actel). Also I advise you to change the wire used for the mod... try with a kynar wire

So it defenitely looks that ive been framed by the installer!! should i waste the guy?!

Yep... Waste Away!

Without Charlie around to defend himself its hard to say. The installer is going to claim he installed the chip you gave him. Someone would be lieing but its hard to say who . Anyway I would install a new chip if possible. If you play online alot then the Crystal chip would be a good choice
