GUYS!!! i think i just killed my saturn!!!! DAMN MAN!! Ok, i got my mod chip in the mail today. Followed instructions on installing it. When i go to test it out, the saturn screen doesnt load up normaly, it just shows up, drived doesn't spin, and then it goes to the cd door open screen and makes like this helicopter noice and the little boxex are huge and red. SO i tried to take te mod out and the stupid blue wire came off the pin. So i completely took out the mod. And put the ribbon back in. Now the drive doesn't spin and try to read cds!! Did i fry my saturn!?!?!

Remove and re-seed all the ribbon cables (without the mod). See if your saturn will boot now. Something similiar happened to me, but I bent the pins on the ribbon cable (don't ask how, I don't even own a modchip...).

at least your drive spins.

that's more than I can say for my mod attempt

 Shitface May 30, 2003
SLINGA!!! YOUR MY NEW GOD!!!!! IT WORKS NOW!!! PHEW!! i just bought a slew of shiznit off ebay and it comes tomarrow. Thank you, the mod will have to wait. Is there any stores like computer stores that will solder for you? That would help, the stupid 64 pins are to small and my dads soldering iron sucks major caca.

lol, my dads solder sucks too. i never took the chance of modding my sat, in fine using the swap trick(though i did go through 2 5-in-1 carts)

SegaSquad, have you tried mal's A+B method?

You wont have to solder the blue wire (for the sync signal) to the IC on the cdboard... check the sticky thread on the Saturn Section...

Edit: Forget this post... I've just checked your other thread... :smash

 Shitface May 31, 2003
Yeah, i read the thread after i tried the pin. Stupid me! Im going to do the a and b method in a few minuts actually. So wish me luck that i don't screw up the chip!

Just be nice with it

And if it happens to the cd drive not spinning try pushing the mod towards the center of the console.. my modboard doesnt work well if it isn't pushed left.. contacts probs..

When the thread talks about bridge 0014 and 0019, what is that refering to?

 mal May 31, 2003
Look at the picture with the seventh post in this thread....

At the bottom left of the mod, there's a solder bridge (blob) that joins a common point to a point marked '0014'. The alternative point is marked '0019'. No Saturn that I've ever modded has needed the 0019 bridge in place.

 Shitface May 31, 2003
I can get my mod to read audio from the cdr and originals. I read the thread you showed. My 0014 bridge is solderd. So what do i do now? Is it cause i have a lik-sang and a 64 pin saturn? is there no hope!?!

 mal May 31, 2003
It doesn't look good.

I wish I had an answer for this whole 64 pin question.

 Shitface May 31, 2003
Man, if only game gizmos wasn't out of buisness. I would have bought a mod from them... sigh.

Funny you should say that, mine needed it. Just did it today in fact.
