Ok i installed Magic V 5K6 in my v10 and load up seems to work find but then theres no a/v. I check all my points they seem fine... get annoyed and remove the chip. The system now shows colored bars on the screen and a constant beep sound. I reset numerous times and still the same prob.. any ideas? how about removing the battery would that in anyway reset anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance
You probably need to clean each point carefully with wick and check with magnifying glass to see if there's any short. Again that no A/V could be a short on your cd/dvd points.
which are the cd/dvd points on the magic V? and why on the diagrams does it show the ground point right in front of the chip when theres no contact there? i extended the ground point would that affect the chips performance?
CD/DVD points are A-I points usually on the back of the PS2 board. As far as the ground, just use thicker wire and keep it short. You can solder right to the orange boarder on the edge. The performance is that you won't have to keep pressing reset so often just to get the modchip working. On mine, usually just the first power up and it read. If not usually just one more reset tap and works 100%
The coloured bars and constant beep happens when there is a break in one of the dvd controller points. Check the vias and you'll find there is a break somewhere there. Repair the break and you'll be fine.

thanks ian i'll try that, but are the traces connected through the board? i think a trace was pulled back and wondered if it needed to be connected to the other side of the board?
