    if it is a slimline, it is a v12. i think scph-7000x's are v12, but i am not thinking to well right now.

    i would suggest the matrix infinity mod with the summone laser fix. i heard good things from a lot of ppl about this mod. and v12's need a laser vix.

    Yeah you do have a V12 slim line PS2. As mentioned above, your best bet would be to get the Matrix Infinity as it's the most stable chip for the V12. The DMS4 Pro/Lite is also an excellent chip but it's not very stable for the V12 as it tends to make the V12s overheat for what ever reason/s - install at your own risk. It's also important to get the laser fix installed - a good modchip installer should put this in your system anyway.

    SCPH-7001x = v12
    SCPH-7000x = v13

    Get a Matrix Infin, its reportedly more stable in the slim ps2s than DMS4. I don't think v13 ps2 needs a laser fix, but do more research anyways.

    i heard v13 had a better laser and didn't need a laser fix just like jashsu said but again double check that fact.

    FOUND IT!!!!! you have a version 13, however, you should still check whether or not you need the laser fix.

    if you get a mod chip, just get the laser fix too
    it is only $10 for a good one, so that it worth
    it just in case. Then you are sure.
    Comsoft V4 Laser Fix or Summone Laser Fix
    are the 2 i would suggest if you get a chip.

    v13 doesn't have a different laser, it just has a fix built into the motherboard. Other than that, the modem port has also been removed.
