deserate!
hi all. i really need some help.
while attempting my first install (matrix homebrew on v10) i soldered the 3.3v then changed my mind about where to fix the chip so removed it, while doing so i removed the solder from the resistor. then while trying to fix a new connection i put solder onto the legs of the chip thats close by, argh. well i went to maplins to get a de-soldering braid but they didnt have one so i bought a desoldering pump. i tried to remove the solder but caught the 3.3v resistor and broke it off! comedy of errors, i know. could anyone give me some advice on how to solder the resistor back, i have a little problem with my soldering iron aswell, i doesnt get hot enough at the tip to melt the solder. am i stuffed or will i have a working ps2 by xmas for when i visit my mother-in-law.

ur pritty screwed unless your good at soldering. an easier way to do it attach 2 bit of wire t each ends and run it through that. If your strugling with installing a modchip i suggest u send it to a pro.

As for the iron not getting hot, is your bit covered in like black crusty stuff? If so, get a file and lightly scrape it off. Then, clean the tip with some tip cleaner or a glob of solder, tin the tip, and your iron should now get plenty hot enough for you to do the job...

Best thing to do is look at some mod diagrams for other chips which use a 3.3v power source and see what points they use
