# V13 Modbo modchip installation diagram \- William Quade Canonical: Language: `en-US` ![V13 Modbo installation diagram](https://quade.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/V13.jpg) One of the revisions of the slim PlayStation 2 was the V13\. They were found in some of the SCPH\-7000x models available worldwide\. The V13 is a slightly improved version of the V12 which fixed the laser issues with the V12, while still retaining the full PS1 backwards compatibility lacking in later models\. Matching console model numbers and board numbers are listed below\. You can find the model number on the sticker on the bottom of the console, and the board number is printed on the PS2 main board if you take apart your console\. Note that there can be multiple board numbers within a specific model number\. - NTSC\-J \(Japan\): - SCPH\-70000 CB \(GH\-037\-01\) - NTSC\-U/C \(USA\) - SCPH\-70001 CB \(GH\-032\-13\) - PAL - SCPH\-70004 \(GH\-032\-12, GH\-032\-13\) Note that there are multiple versions of the Modbo modchips available, but the installation diagrams are all the same\. Some example versions are Modbo 3\.0, Modbo 4\.0, Modbo 5\.0, and Modbo 750\.

Just stuck a longer 30 AWG wire through the via and apply a little bit of solder\. # Example installations This section has photos of some successful installations which you can use to get a better understanding of how everything is wired and positioned\. Leave a comment and I’ll add your installation to the list - William Quade \(me\) [![V13 Modbo modchip example installation](https://quade.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/v13-1024x973.jpg)](https://quade.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/v13.jpg) 31 Comments Most Voted Newest Oldest ![Wayne](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3f5ef7f015808818035412334da856e2793d68caf983d54c81a463c1c78fa78f?s=64&d=mm&r=g) Wayne June 15, 2020 7:40 PM This is an awesome site for finding diagrams dude, thanks a lot\.

However I would have a question, I have an original console never fitted with a chip and whose player does not turn, does not move, really no reaction even with a new one\. All the fuses are good, the cable has been changed and the connectors cleaned\. An idea of ​​the problem ? If not I would still like to mount a chip on it to use the console only in USB mode, to avoid having to solder everything, which are essential for operation in USB?

For just USB operation I’d imagine you’d need these pins at a minimum: M, N, O, P, Q, T, U, V, R, W, CX, Reset, 3\.3V, GND\. 0 ![titifayls](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e0d8d4efe1c8db62cb9b585c5ebe4ab3adaec0ba09e89471f9b23f5bf5918715?s=64&d=mm&r=g) titifayls January 1, 2021 12:24 PM Reply to [William Quade](#comment-4697) yes I have removed the anti static protection, the reader works very well on another ps2 but on the v13 we can feel the translation motor rumble, and by slightly lifting the pinion of the lens bar, the axis turns\. \. The optics are good because it works very well on another slim ps2 \.
