Tips on desoldering a US ver1 powerboard ?

**backstar** · 12-19-2002,07:57 AM

I'm currently modding a US version1 PS2, and I'm about to have a go at desoldering the four pins that are securing the PSU to the back of the motherboard.

Before I do does anyone have any tips, tricks or anything to watch out for ?

Do a search for an V1 install. It was discussed in that thread.

Why do you want to de-solder the back of the board? If you are looking for the S point, there is an alternative on the top. Find a neo 2 install diagram and use its point #2 for your S point. I just did one today and it works fine.

All the ponits are on the top of the mobo for any chip.

I'm getting conficting answer's what makes you say I have to get to the back of the board, if as stated by Racer there's an scex point on the top ?

EDIT

Ignore the above, I just looked on the www.foundmy.com and they too have the scex point on the top side of the board.

A relief I can tell you
