neo2 stupidity

[yeah]

soldering is not that hard to do. I had never soldered anything I did it(once I figured out where all the points where) That was the hardest part. Also pin 5&6 gave me no problems at all. It was pin7 that was hard. You have the least amount of terminal to make contact with. pins 5&6 has alot more surface area.My take on it was could I afford to purchase a new ps2 if I screwed it up.which was no but I did it anyway hehe. By the way I hooked the chip up about 4 different times to the wrong locations but luckily the chip and PS2 works great now. Just be sure you locate all the corect points and that it matches exactly what is pictured, not similiar, exactly.
