quote: I tried to file one down, didnt work though coz the actual soldering tip is just a lead alloy tip injected into a hollow case - once you file too far it just goes through to the tip casing... Although the smaller tips (while not needing filing if you already have a needle point) are probably solid. | |

I wasn't confident of soldering something onto the board, so use the swapmagic, bit of hassle, but easier than messing up your playstation. | |

Unless they have changed things since last time i tried to chip a ps2 i would make sure you are ver very good at soldering and have a soldering bit like a pin. | |

yeah, but even some mod chips come with a swap disc...(well in my country) | |

That swapdisk thing is ok if you get the openlid case instead of the standard one - all seems a bit complicated to me. Much rather just solder a new chip in. | |
