Just installed MX4 and it does not work

**sparkysx** · 11-17-2005,07:55 AM

Hi,

I've just installed a Matrix Infinity MX4 that I got from Mr Modchips and the damn thing doesn't seem to be working. Backups will not boot. I can get the upgrade disc to boot, but when I try to flash it, it just hangs there and doesn't complete. I'm pretty sure that all the wires are soldered well. We must of done something right because I can get the upgrade to boot, (it won't boot on a non modded PS2 that I have) This is a V4 PS2 by the way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Sparky

Also, on the installation diagram there a picture for "bios gap" and "bios no gap" could that have anything to do with it.

There is also two pictures for the a b i points.

If they had instructionson there site it may help.

yes, you need to install it as shown, whether it is a gap or no gap.

i don't know whether this is your prob, but you need to follow the correct picture

which one is the correct picture because it does not state it

check the layout of the bios chips as per the diagrams & compare them with your board, if u have a gap in the middle of the pins then u have a gap bios & vise versa & wire chip accordingly, the alternate points for a.b & i up to you, use one or the other whichever is easiest for you,

It's not a fake one, it does have the 333 on it. The PS2 played copied movies before it was chipped.

does anyone on here know about these chips?
