Ah, I’ve had the chip lying here for half a year now and finally got to try it and … it works! I’m almost complete newbie in soldering and kinda clumsy too so if I could make it anyone can. Don’t be discouraged, guys And big thanks to you, racketboy – for your great website and for this fantastic chip, too. Radiant Silvergun, here I cooome

I just recieved a modchip for my model 2 32-pin Saturn. I installed the chip, and soldered the wires, but when I power on my saturn, the lens and the disc spinning mechanism do not move. Nothing happens. What could be the problem?

No prob man, after reading up on the forum (until page 8), I SUCCESSFULLY modded it yesterday after some testing. I’ll post on the forum and try to make a guide, because a lot of info just doesn’tseem right. Thanks for replying though!

I’ve never done a Sanyo personally — you might want to ask in the forums…

Hi Racketboy, I’m currently trying to install a modchip in a JAP Sanyo Saturn. Do I have to REMOVE the entire “TRAP” PCB including the wire or do I leave it be? Also, where exactly do I connect the signal wire? (all of the ICs on that version are marked SANYO) Or do I connect it on the same pad as to where the “trap” is connected to…? Can’t fin any detailed info about this anywhere.

Hope to hear something soon
Thanks in advance!
