    Hi. I've just installed a Crystal Chip on my PS2 v13 and now it's dead. There is no video or audio or nothing. I am affraid I broke it. Please anyone can help me on testing it to see what the problem is? Thank you

    check the bios points with a multimeter on continuity mode. most likely you've bridged two or more. Once the bridge is found, remove the solder with some desoldering braid. and redo the points in question.

    Also remove the ground.... I did an install the other day that only took about 1.5 hours and 8 hours to troubleshoot... The issue was that two bios wires came off that I didn't notice. When i disconnected the chip (just the ground and 3.3v) the ps2 worked normally. After I found the missing wire problem everything worked out great. Good luck!!
