Solderless Modchips

evening folks, what a good site to find :)
i have a ps2 v7 with magic chip installed, gonna get me a version 7 ps2 again. what i need to know is wether its worth my time fittin a solderless chip in the new machine? are they hard to do and very time consuming? dont wanna waste £40 on a chip to destroy it in 10 minutes.i have a little soldering experience but dont fancy tackling a solder mod. can anyone post their experiences in using solderless chips?


thanks

don't waste your time on solderless chips. They are expensive and dangerous. Take your ps2 to a real installer and let him install a chip.

I had one of the DMS4 EZI Lite solderless chips and it died after a week and almost ruined the pins on my bios chip!

Definitely go with the solder'd solution (that's what I ended up doing)
