Retro GEM PS2 Fat Installation: Difference between revisions

~~=== (GH-019 and higher) ===~~

It is highly recommend you use lead free solder. The solder used in the PS2 has tin which can create micro cracks if leaded soldered is used and not mixed well. If you prefer to use leaded solder you need to wash the pins (mix) or remove the lead free solder all together. After installing many kits I personally prefer to just use lead free.

~~All 39K+ motherboards revisions have the same video and audio hookup points. The 3.3V and 5V can be different Please refer to these images in step 1 for hookup points.~~

For the rest of the installation I will be installing into a GH-023. If your motherboard is different continue following but use the motherboard 3.3V and 5V hookups in the images above.

Add a small kapton tape to the following areas to make sure the flex does not short to any via.

Align the main flex and solder into place, also add kapton tape in this area so the 5v is not shorted.
