Undiluted Platinum

[XioN980]

Just wanted to know who had succesfully installed undiluted platinum round here

[XioN980]

I havn't actually installed it yet but once it comes in the mail does anyone want some pics of what the soldering joins should look like as well as the PCB soldermask cuts?

Yes please

If you could, for example, take a picture of where UP meets the PSP, and put a pencil next-to the soldering points so I know what kinda scale I'm gona have to deal with, that'd be great.

And a piture of the opened PSP with the stencils glued on (point them out in photoshop if they're not obvious).

Also any other pictures you think would be useful.

Thanks loads!

Ok my modchip iiiiiiiiiisssssss........ Still not here yet

But i have some important info to tell you, after you've taken the liksang tutorial mentioned before unscrew the metal plate that was under the screen you removed Now under where the digital pad's buttons were youll see a TA - 079 or a TA - 080 or 081. If its any of these than you can put in the modchip If not, well, you cant. (TA - 082).

Although i know there is a tutorial for checking TA-082 it doesn't tell you which of the other motherboards you have and there are seperate instructions for the other compatible types.

Luckily, Mine is!! [see below]

Just wanted to say, you can check the version without taking the thing apart. Open the disk compartment, and look through the top to the PCB inside. I can't find the article right now, but there should be a version number written upside-down. If there's nothing there, you're safe and can use UP (make sure there really isn't ANY text there, use a light). If there IS something there, search for the article to find out.

To know if you have a TA-082 motherboard, open your UMD drive. Look in the top right corner, where you see a little green. If there is writing there, then its a TA-082, if not, feel free to mod the hell out of your PSP.
