It is very easy to do and the advantage is that extra featuresĪnd added stability can be added to the mod-chip at any time. This is a mod-chip that can be reprogrammed by inserting aĭisk with the correct software. To fix this a simpleĬolour correction can be done to the console.
2)The TV set can handle the 60Hz videoįrequency, but is not compatible with the NTSC format. Menu go to colour system and change it to AUTO. There could be 2 explanations for this 1) In the TV set's Why do NTSC disks playback in black & white on certain This is also known as a vertical hold problem. The screen on the TV set will start "rolling" Not all TV sets can handle the 60Hz video frequency that is generated That depends on the actual game, if you intend Have a very large influence on the performance and life span of the laser. This automatically means that the laser's hours will be used up inĪ shorter amount of time.Also keep in mind that the quality of the actual disks will Games once they had the chip installed, which means that they will be playing a lot more Some people tend to buy pirated Playstation Is it true that the chip effects the life span of the It doesn't matter how good a mod-chip is installed in the console. This means that they will most probably not read a lot, if not most, of backed-up games. Yes, but keep in mind that these consoles are very old. I have a SCPH30004 can I still fit the chip? This means that the Laser diode has to work twice as hard and that the "gain" goes to high resulting in a blown DVD diode. b) Some "v12 Fixes" limit the movement of the lens coils. Causes for "laser diode burn-out": a) When using bad quality disks the gain goes to high resulting in a blown DVD diode. If the gain goes to high, like it does with bad quality disks, it can damage the laser diode resulting in a console that does not read DVD or CD. Voltage to this component goes higher the more the lens struggles to read a disk, this is known as the "Gain". This is the little component that generates the laser beam. The biggest problems with most mod-chip installers is that instead of fixing the installation, they would rather add a "fix", which in many occasions cause problem no. Bad mod-chip installs include long wires, bad soldering and wires crossing each other. When mod-chips are badly installed the total can easily grow to 50%.
Causes of "Lens coil burn-out": This is a known issue with slim line PS2 consoles that effects about 1 out of every 100 consoles. (the lens coils are the electro-magnets that lifts or pulls the lens closer or further from the disk). This is when an internal controller on the PS2 motherboard freezes and causes the lens coils to melt. There are 2 ways that the lens can be damaged. If you have it done by a professional, then yes. I have a Slimline v12 console is it safe to "chip" it. SCPH77004 is a v15 or 16 (no known issues) SCPH70004 is also a v13 ( no know issues) SCPH70004 is a v12, v12.1 slimline console (lens issues with v12) SCPH50004 is a v9, v10 or 11(weak "Focus & Tracking SCPH39004 is a v7 or v8 PAL (no known issues) SCPH30004R is a v5 or v6 PAL (no known issues) SCPH30004 is a v3 or v4 PAL (Lens problems) Last + or - 3500 hours on the DVD side and 15000 on CD. The more games you play or the more movies you watch the quicker the Laser will go. This is a difficult question to answer because every person uses his or her console differently.
if someone offers to install a Matrix Infinity for R 400.00 - R 700.00 you can be 100% certain that it'll be a clone. Chips like the Mod-Bo, Myth & Infinity chip are all clones of the Matrix Infinity and are not half as reliable. Lately the Matrix Infinity has been the target of cheap rip-offs. Reason why we stopped doing the Messiah and the Magic mod-chips all together. The original of these 2 chips weren't bad chips at all, but since most people tend to go for theĬheaper option every one started purchasing the clones rather than the originals. Names in PS2 mod-chips affected by clones are the Magic and Messiah chips. The problem with some chips are that they do not switch offĪt all, and this type of interference can cause irreparable laser damage.
If you have a decent Mod-Chip installed by a professional then NO, but keep in mind that unfortunately there are a lot of cheap cloned chips out there
