H20+ V1 - Need some help

Has anyone installed any of these chips?
I have the chip and im about to install it in a v12.

I read on the site that these chips have issues..

Does anyone have any diagrams or anything to better understand how this is done?

Thanks!

Here is the info from summ0nes site.


"Known bugs:
Since the chip now runs at 3v which does not go to 0V in standby, the chip will experience exactly 1 unsuccesfull boot - the first after the PS2 is turned on from standby. We are already writing a new standby detection algorythm for the H2O+ v2 (next code revision, due soon).


FIX:The bug can be avoided by taking the +3v3 from 5v thru 2 1N4148 diodes:
5V(PS2)---(>|)------(>|)---+3v3(modchip)

That way the chip will have true 100% bootrate even with this bug :-)

also 1k resistor on power and ground with fix this isue whe
n using 3v

ok so instead of the above I just hook up 2 1k resistors, one to the + and one to the - ? how many watts does the resistor have to be?

For the original fix, I just add 2 1N4148 diodes together and wire it to the power?

thx

just one 1/4w 1k risistor

excellent, thanks a lot for the tip.

Does this reduce the voltage going to the chip? if so, by how much? Im guessing the original problem was too much current to the chip? I just want to know the details behind this :)

Thanks you
