So is he going to give the mod chip to you? If not, you would still be cheaped, but not on accident.

Ahh, the good old days. I used to install modchip in PS2's and Xbox's a long time ago. It was so much fun messing around with them. Sure I ruined a PS2, but i had a ton of fun and learned a lot.

If you havent installed anything yet, and you cant get it to boot then something isnt hooked up properly. The ribbon cable for the Power/Reset switch in the fat versions connects 2 places, one on the motherboard, and the other on the switch itself. Its very unlikely that the switch side is messed. The cable also isnt as fragile as everyone claims, so you probably didnt damage it. I would check the connection on the motherboard. Make sure its connected properly (blue side up, silver pins down).

If youve already installed the chip, youve probably shorted out the bios chip. I would remove the chip and try to boot, then install it again. Your lucky that chip is solderless, its much more unforgiving with solder, and those pins are TINY! I did pull it off a number of times though. I was damn good.

And no, I never did it for profit, or really cause the industry any harm. I was pirating games I could never afford and would never have bought. I think I enjoyed the installation part than anything else. I barely even used the chips.

Anyways, good luck.
