You only want a 4 wire chip then, Hell, I'll give you one of my used pulls, if you're in North America! - jprcus (at yahoo . com)

you can use a code breaker as a bootdisk. They only cost 10.00

thinks for the free chip i got it in today but could i use any thin wire and on the dirgram dose the solder points all match cause i know were a diagram for the stelth chip so could i just follow there instarutions or do i have to solder then in dif points

I like to use wire wrap, you can tear apart a little 3 volt electric motor and unwind some. The laminated coating will melt away where you solder it. If you have a 7 wire diagram, just use pins 1,5,6,8 and ignore the 3 extra points for stealth chips, it should work.

would thi digram work http://www.modchip.ca/install/ps/101...2-install.html
and would u know were what wire gose on the mod chip say like
1-4 is one side of the chip 5-8 is other side so what numbers would i need to solder the wires to on the chip and 1 last ? i got a solder iron but its kinda big i can change tips but have none do i need to get a small solder iron and dose any body know of a good cheap place to buy a small one online

1 - - 5
2 - - 6
3 - - 7
4 - - 8

You have 5-8 backwards.

With the notch at the top and looking at the marked side:

1- -8
2---7
3---6
4---5

That diagram should work, careful of point 6, I’ve taken off a few microcaps by mistake. The tip of my iron is abut 3 times bigger than one of those little yellow capacitors. You get the solder on the tip of the wire first, touch it to the side of the capacitor and touch an edge of the iron to the wire for just a second and it should bond. You might want to practice on a junk PC board or something with microcaps.

Hi there,

Just thought that since you guys seem to know what your talking about you may be able to help me. I got a "professional" to stick a Mod-Chip in my Sony PsOne. I believe it was a 4-wire one, can't say for sure. Anyways, he claims he did it properly, but a lot of my games struggly to load on it - I get a red screen reading something like 'please insert original Playstation disc'. I will admit it doesn't happen to all the games, and usually after a few goes it will work fine. Do you reckon this is a proplem with the cheap C.D.'s I have used in the past, or with the Mod-Chip?

Thank you,
Scott.

Sounds like a laser problem. Try burning a good brand like Verbatim or slower burning speed.
