In dire straits - please help

[Mr. Buffet]

Alright you are 100% allowed to to call me a morron,

I Finally got a Messiah, but as I started to take my PS2 apart I noticed I have a SCPH-30001 V4, with datecode 1C.

This combination does not work to gether and I kick myself for not checking this earlier.

Now the big question is does anybody in the forum have any bright ideas as to how I can exchange my current console to a V4 console that is NOT datacode 1C ??

My retailer will not swap the console as it is more than 90 days old.

Anybody wanna swap ?? tricks to fool Sony ??

Hope you can help

Buffet
