    Coffee Man Guest
    I'll try to get this all in one shot folks.
    PS2 version 7 with a brand new Magic 3.1 installed. Upon assembly of the unit the machine booted up to the swirling ions or whatever ya want to call em, I reset the time and zone etc.. put in Socom (original) I get the disc not recognized. It wouldn't play cd-r, dvd-r,ps1 original,ps2 original or dvd movie. Acted like the chip wasn't sending any code. Ripped it apart again and checked all connections for 1 hour with a 15x magnifying lense. I increased the wire size for power and ground. Reassembly--Black screen.. tore apart again-- hauled out the Magic 3.1 and swapped in a spare Matrix2 chip I had. Played everything right off the bat. What do you think about the Magic Chip?

    Update!! Called GameGizmo this morning, and they said to returned the chip for a another one. my question is why is my chip blue and not red? According to Modchip.ca I am in position of a fake. Gamegizmo says theirs are 100% real not clones. I am grateful that they will exchange chips,but it is alot of hassle to do this when someone is waiting for their PS2,and you don't test chips before they are sold.
