Origa 1.25 Question, Charlie

Civic2000 · #1 01-01-2002, 20:45

I also have a 15000 board I'm gonna install the Origa on. With the complexity, I believe I can do it but wish to have it professionally installed but there aren't any people that can do it here in NYC.

Last resort is for me to install it myself which, according to the diagrams isn't incrediably hard. There's just the question of the connections for Q1-Q3. Do all those connections go to Q3? There aren't any pictures for Q1 and Q2 connections. Last question is whether or not Lik-sang.com will provide instructions. Thanks for any replies.

Hello Civic2000,

I have chipped my PS2 with Origa and also we have the same unit (15000).
You are asking about the Q1-Q3 Connections right?
just follow the instructions for placing up the chip (you can see it the origachip.com in the ver 1.0 installation). In which Q3 is placed (soldered) in the board. Dont worry about the Q1 and Q2. Its a ceramic capacitor... there is no polarity for that one. But if you would like you can face the capacitor upside down (face --> marking of capacitor).
If you have place successfully your chip., then its time to follow the diagram of the ver. 1.12 and 1.2 Jap.
By the way on a note... you can easily solder the 8 wires (the one soldered directly in the cpu's legs) by using a thin blade (to isolate each legs). But be careful u might snap one of the legs... just dont apply too much pressure or it will break!
Hope i could help... anyway i'm planning to shoot some pics of my work.
And hopefully e-mail to users who would like it as a reference!
GAMERZ RULE!

Hey Jumpstart.

Congrats on the good install of the Origa chip. I'm hoping to pop one in this 15000 board I have. Hmm... I'm still a bit confused on the ceramic capacitor. Do you mean that that capacitor is already on the board itself or do I just go out and buy one? Yea, I would definately like to see some pictures on how you did yours. The connections to the CPU are a bit complicated as well. Please provide some advice in this matter.

According to the diagrams on origachip.com, you must have some good soldering skills to do the connections for 'A' connections to the CPU!

Ahh... I figured it out. The diagram showing Q3 and M is rather confusing. I'm trying to see how to connect Q3 and M on the board. I need to shed some light on this. Thanks Jumpstart for your help!

No problemo Civic2000

I really wanted to help... coz' it here in this forum I that i was able to sort things out (especially Charlie--> thanks!).

Btw, Q3 and M points are actually the same...
If you carefully trace the board they connect to each other...

I'll e-mail you after i got those pics...
