You have a V15

And you should order the Swap Tool Pro V4 is the latest. It includes all the tools needed.

Installation: http://www.modchip.ca/install/ps2/nosolder/swaptool2_engl.jpg

And if you check my signature below, there are lots of guides posted in the magic keys installation thread. From I think page 4 and on is a few guides posted.

so magic keys 2 won't work i found this site..

Yes it will work. It worked fine on my V14, I just like the TOOL A better on the Magic Switch Pro V4 better is all.

Its up too you, they cost the same, you just get more tools with the latter.

Great I'll try out the Magic Switch Pro V4... Thanks

Will Magic Switch Pro V4 come with Installation Guide. There is one for the Magic Switch Pro V3 and Magic Keys 2 Tools...

Yes the Magic Switch V3 is pretty much the same as for the V4, so you shouldn't have any problems.

If you need help when you get them, then let me know.

Cheap & flimsy pieces of plastic and aluminum is what that stuff is. The part for the sensor near the hinge is annoying as heck to install and eventually will stop working if bent even slightly out of whack. Why would anyone pay $9.95???? It isn't worth 10 cents even if it does work.

It's easier, cheaper, and more reliable to just hot glue the sensors. Accomplishing it isn't rocket science. You could use almost anything to keep the sensors down. Don't use super glue though.

I don't mean to be pessimistic but anyone that would buy such junk would probably buy the a "Solar Powered Clothes Dryer" for $100.

If you never heard of that scam....it's a length of rope. ;)

Well I bought that junk a few years ago, and have not had the tool near the hinge bent. It is actually quite hard to bend it and you don't need to bend it.

And that PS2 slim I installed it on has been used quite steady, with no problems at all. Took me a few minutes to install it with the proper guide.

The first tools that ever came out were tricky to install, but the latest tools are quite easy.

And no I wouldn't be out there buying "Solar Powered Clothes Dryer" either

You don't like it, then thats fine, but don't advise people to glue things either. I don't recommend that at all, when there are tools to do it with.

And taping down the sensor is better than glue.

anyone have a diagram for the Magic Switch Pro V4 i can't find one

Here is a guide for Magic Switch V3

It should be close to the same parts as in V4.

Just use this as your guide to the parts.

Looks like using the same parts.

For TOOL A on the on/reset switch, you can refer to this as well.

There are some really close up pictures on this page.

Thanks i'll try them...

Ok Good Luck and let us know how you made out.

well i can't get the 'e' part in right i'm moving it all around but it's not blocking the sensor any idea...

Yes it is tricky to put it in.
I got it in, and then had to wiggle it a bit before I knew it was resting on the right spot.
Put a disc into the console, push the ON/RESET button and insert Tool E. Release the ON/RESET button, if Tool E is installed correctly, the disc automatically rotates.
Adjust the position a little bit to left or right if the disc doesn’t rotate.

If none of that works, and your not worried about the warranty, you can open your PS2 and place TOOL D inside.

Then you shouldn't need TOOL E.

Place a Disc inside the PS2, and if it spins with the lid open, its done correctly.

To find out what version PS2 you have:

SCPH-XXXX is the model number of your PS2
Models, SCPH-39001/N and SCPH-50001/N are on the left side of the PS2. Slim models have their SCPH number on the bottom. Date code refers to the small box near where the SCPH number is displayed

Version 15A : SCPH-77001a
Version 15B : SCPH-77001b
Version 15: SCPH-77004
Version 15: SCPH-77003
Version 15: SCPH-77002
Version 14: SCPH-75001
Version 14: SCPH-75004
Version 14: SCPH-75003
Version 14: SCPH-75002

The rest of the model numbers clash with each other and can only be identified by different methods:

Version 7,6,5,4,3,2 have model number clashes, for example, SCPH-30001 can be V7,6,5,4,3,2

There is VERY little difference between these early models, the main differences are the design and safety.

Version 4 and above have a "CAUTION, risk of electrocution if opened" stamp on the bottom

Versions 1,2, and 3 have 10 screws on the bottom, which are located under the little rubber feet

Version 0: SCPH-10000 (Only released in Japan)
