Hello, I've bought a pre-modded PS2. In the boot screen it says "Infinity 1.38" below PS2 logo. I'd like to know if there is any way to detect if the chip is a fake one without opening the box...
Thanks in advance for your help!

upgrade the firmware to the latest 1.54 and if it doesn't work than it is a fake or clone infinity
thanks for your answer, however I'd like to detect it without breaking the chip apart...
well take it to whoever modded it and tell them you want them to upgrade to the latest 1.54 firmware, and if they decline to do it than it is more likely a clone
upgrading firmware is by loading a cd into the ps2 so I dont see how that can break it apart
if you upgrade the firmware on a fake infinity, the chip will stop working.
it's easy enough to open the ps2 up and take a look at the chip, all you need is a few screwdrivers. afaik all of the fakes look completely different to the Infinity.
the fact it's displaying the firmware on the bootlogo is a good sign it's genuine.
