If you're chip dies after updating the firmware / changing the config screen then it's almost certain you have a clone chip and not an original matrix infinity.

The only solution seems to be to try and reflash but that's nearly impossible / buy a real MI chip and have that fitted then all future updates to the firmware will work.

I genuinely feel bad for the people that have updated thinking that they have an original chip because the installer has lied

 

He peeps,

Well, I just got my slimline ps2 back. This time it is fitted with the real Matrix Infinity. It turned out that there was a communication problem between the guy in the shop that modded the ps2 and the guy that sold me the ps2. By standard they fit in a Modbo chip in a new playstation. They used to have the infinity but switched a couple of months ago to the modbo, because it is cheaper for customers and does pretty much the same thing. Well, I disagree with them in this matter in terms of quality, but that's something else. My playstation is now fitted with firmware 1.46, so this must be the good chip. The shop was very kind and helpfull by the way and they corrected the problem very quickly. I genuinely believe this whole thing was not done on purpose.

O, by the way, here's the reaction of infinitymod after I told them about the problem:

Hi ....,

Sorry for late reply, I was out of town.


I am sorry to tell you that you have a FAKE infinity into your PS2.
Infact this issue happens with FAKE infinity chip like the modbo chip.

If you never saw the chip into your PS2, contact your installer and go to complain to him and ask him to open the PS2 in front of you and check if the chip is the Infinity or a cheap imitation.
If they sold it to you as Original Infinity, ask him your money back because they tricked you.

Who is the installer that made the job? Does he have a website?

Well, everything is fine now. For the people that where tricked with a modbo, I would recommend the things Luke suggests. Replacing the chip can be done without much trouble (wires are already there). Good luck to the people with this problem. A new chip (MI)is the only solution I'm affraid...Just ask the person that mods the chip to put on firmware 1.46 and you will now for sure that it is genuine..

Really glad you got yours sorted Sippie

 

Didn't anyone with this prob buy from the infinity website? And is everybody having probs w/ just the v12?

 

Hi there,

I do have a strange thing that is going on though...After I put my ps2 in standby (red light) it stays in standby for about five minutes and then it turns itself on again (green light)! By itself! It has now happened for 4 times...So I pulled the power out. I called the shop already about it, they've never heard of it before...there gonna ask around if anybody has this problem as well. I will mail Luke too, so I will check out what is the deal here. Maybe anybody of you knows this problem?. Maybe I have to change something in the settings from the MI? Anyways, the rest works fine, so I'm not complaining, but if any of you know what is wrong with the "spooky" standby I'll be glad to hear it...

hey i have a problem too.

i've lend my MI firmware 1.45 to a friend of mine.

he used it to upgrade his ps2slim, and now only music cds are working.

i think he has a fake MI.

Is there anyway to Put back the old firmware so the chip works again, or any other technic?
