# V5 Modbo modchip installation diagram \- William Quade Canonical: Language: `en-US` ![V5 Modbo installation diagram](https://quade.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/V5V6.png) One of the revisions of the fat PlayStation 2 was the V5\. They were found in many of the SCPH\-3000x systems\. Matching console model numbers and board numbers are listed below\. V6 consoles also have the same model numbers, board revisions numbers, and installation diagrams\. 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\-30000R \(GH\-015\) - SCPH\-30005R \(GH\-015\) - SCPH\-30006R \(GH\-015\) - SCPH\-30007R \(GH\-015\) - NTSC\-U/C \(United States\) - SCPH\-30001R \(GH\-015\) - PAL - SCPH\-30002R \(GH\-015\) - SCPH\-30003R \(GH\-015\) - SCPH\-30004R \(GH\-015\) 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\.

I’m not in a PAL country so I haven’t installed into many PAL systems, but when I do I have always found the H wire to be necessary\. Comments from other people seem to also go along with this\. I did not make these old diagrams, so I don’t know where the not needing H for PAL systems came from\. Maybe it wasn’t needed on the original Matrix Infinity chips, but over the years things changed and the current firmware and hardware on the Chinese clone … Read more » 0 ![Samy Houari](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8e9326adc301c46421b546d0132dc452c963b46588f3732965127f0b46c46705?s=64&d=mm&r=g) Samy Houari March 27, 2021 1:42 PM Successfully worked on GH\-15 motherboard\.
