There are not too many modchippers on this board, so you may not get many replies to your question. Your best bet would be to read up on some of the info on console modding over at PS2Newz

You need a fibre glass pen to remove some of the copper covering so that you can successfully solder to the contact. You should also get a flux pen at the same time to make sure that your joints stick.

You should be able to get them from somewhere like Maplin, but Whitedog (www.whitedog.co.uk) do them if you're struggling.

BTW, good luck with the chipping...I did loads of PSXs and PSOnes for my mates, but I gave up doing my PS2 and had it done professionally because it was just so bloody small!
