    ok, type a [ then img then a ] then put your link to a picture

    type a [ then a / then img then a ]

    read the tags under where it says:

    try www.ps2slimtool.co.uk.tc for the slimtool for the new slim ps2, you can use it safely and you can close the lid whilst using it (unlike the magic switch).
    Easier to install, longer lasting and no laser burmout.

    700012 is the USA region PS2. The rumor goes that the models with date code 4D are the ones without laser problems.

    I heard they both still have the problem. I think they just made a new one 700125A.

    Yeah to be honest, Ive researched these modchips for a crap load of time, and in my opinion the best solution for wanting to paly backups without screwing your warranty and everything worsk eprfectly is the slimtool described in previous posts. The fliptop is also awesome but it shafts your warranty pretty badly. The magic switch is pretty risky with the warranty also since it requires opening lid AND breaking off pieces ( talking about the 2 piece set ghost/magic switch). These ofcourse have to be with a SMD3.3
    The tape method also makes sense but then again its pretty risky and there is a small chance itll void your warranty.

    hmmm...... yeah, but if your warranty is gone you might as well get it chipped, however if you have problems after that, you better not take it to sony to get it fixed.

    Thank you Leon, these forums need more confirmation. My v12 fliptop is still on backorder, I'll post when I get it, and if it works, and then I'll update again a month later or if anything goes wrong.

    Little help if possible - just got the fliptop for the slimline, install seemed to go ok, but now the reset button won't work - I can't even turn the thing on even though it has power.

    Took it apart again, everything appears in place! Stuck - any help or hints from anyone who's had a similiar problem is appreciated.

    I have the new PS2 slim and just got the swap disk, the CD one boots every time but the DVD one only booted a few times for me, does anyone know if this is a disk error or system.
