Modbo 745 v5 acting like unmodded

[JuliusPleaser]

I actually always cover the chip with electrical tape to prevent a short. But thank you for at least giving an answer other than... "Don't use clones"

I had this trouble a while ago using a magic v (acts like no chip) I changed the pwr to an alternate spot. Don't ask me why it started to work but it did.It was like the pwr spot that I was originally connected too was damaged somewhere inside the MB where you couldn't see (but not damaged enough to stop the ps2 working) I don't know if this is your problem or not but I thought I'd just let you Know. By the way all the wires and soldering looked perfect but it refused to work until I moved the pwr wire.

Falmingo, from what I read and hear, everything you just said about the modbo is untrue, and you should really find proof to back up your claims.

as for JuliusPlease, the Modbo 745 doesn't work in either v4 or v5 consoles (I forget which, I'll look into it a little better and get back to you)

Ive gotten it to work on both, I havent had one fail on me yet

"Reputable" modchip installer, thats funny, and what makes someone a reputable modchip installer? is it someone who does pretty installs and uses these so called "original" modchips

[flamingo24]

There is no reason for me to put down sellers or users of the modbo or any other clone for that matter; there would be no point and a waste of time, I figured since it seemed he covered all the bases it would seem to be his problem simply by deduction, it's one thing to sell/install clone chips it's another to go about the business of selling/installing clones as the real thing as many installers have done; also many of the installers that are honest about there product do not give explicate warning about the risks of using a clone chip!!! If a seller/installer doesnt sell clones it's usually safer for him and the person he is selling/installing for...; even if you can change/save mod settings on the 745 without baking the chip (unlike other modbo's or matrix clones), I wouldnt trust the epprom on a clone to be of vary high quality & you can forget about upgrading to future firmwares...

As for the modbo it is a piece of crap clone and although I have never bought into these crap clones I know from many other sources .

That about sums up your knowledge on anything, do you rely on other sources before you **** also..

The fact is that for every 1 'original" (and I use the term loosely) chip that these "reputable" modders install there is someone else installing 10 modbo or other "clone" chips. You honestly think that if they were bad chips they would still be around? Call them what you want but there are more experience modders installing these by the hundreds and making lots of money and having lots of satisfied customers while the ones screaming "clones suck" are well...........still complaining. To bad alot of people buy into the ignorance of others. Matrix chips are good but also overpriced, just becuase they do updates and release new stuff it doesn't mean they should be overpriced.

nice, but that was taken out of context...I beleve you are misunderstanding what I said; you see since I havent used/purchased a fake matrix chip the only source I can rely on is what others have reported...

Like I said it?s a waste of time to get into lame flame wars, you obvously did'nt read my most recent post on this thread..you should take no offense, what are you trying to prove?

[gamecubesuxs]

Ok enough with the "clone wars" lets get this problem solved that this guy orignally posted about
