New PS2 SCPH-90001 Warnings!!

[wrathatred]

I just recently waisted $130 dollars by buying a new PS2. I was not aware that a new model had come out for the PS2 Slim and now I am really mad. I had originally intended to mod it the traditional way by blocking the sensors, Swap Magic, and so forth, but it is built different. Had I known I would have settled for a used one with an older model. This is a warning for those intending to buy new PS2's. You can still mod this with a mod chip though I just wish I would have known before I went out and bought one. If anyone figures out a different way to mod it please tell me.

Nonsense. I purchased a satin silver SCPH-90001 two weeks ago and only needed two sensor blocks to make it work with Swap Magic. In fact, SCPH-90001 is even better than the previous model, because there is no need to void the warranty to open it up; no sensors need to be blocked on the inside, only the two usual ones under the lid.

Note: the sensor switch in the front corner of the console is shaped slightly differently, but the Swap Pro Tool v4 has a new piece that fits it perfectly. The old ones will still fit too, just need a piece of tape to support it.

Really? I just assumed that because I couldn't find the other sensors it would not work so I didn't try anything. Would you mind posting a picture with you top open and circles circling the right spots. Can it be done with just tissues and/or tape?

I too have the model SCPH 90001 and quite confused about which tool to use. I have ordered magic switch pro v4 and so far I know the sensor at the front has to be blocked. The gentleman above posted that only 2 tools are required so I'm guessing the disc brake tool is not needed? Which tool is needed for the top right (where the lid is), since I know there is a sensor inside there next to the laser. Any advice if you've done this would be great.
Cheers mates!

Finally got another cuz of the price drop and figured it out. You only need tool A, B, and C from magic switch pro v4. C is kinda hard cuz you have to move a metal plate, and A isn't secure.
