During the test the chip is been revised for arrived on the final versione that is this :

The product , Is improved with own parts , the PCB is redesigned and the component is position of the best method,

There is a second version of the chip , that now have a USB Port detached from the chip so we can bring externaly and update the console without
open it. And been addictionaly to select the 2 banks of the chip contains and so to give the possibility at the user to launch 2 Firmware Hack

CONCLUSION

 

The assembling on Samsung Drives is not particularly complicated, someone with a discrete experience would easily do it due to the fact that the solder dots are relatively easy and large, and the only negative fact is the removal of the black paste on the MS28 Drives. I suggest you use the Dichloromethane (can be found in solvent/paint stores) and to wait for another day after application to remove the paste. This way you will obtain a good result and avoid minor risks rather than using solvent or hot air pressure that could stick off the PCB or wipe off the SMD resistance.

 

Regarding the assembling on Hitachi Drives, I do not feel like expressing my enthusiasm, the fused dots are really close to each other and the glue is tough to remove (if the assembling is being done on a Hitachi 0078) this operation cannot be effected by everyone, only those with a good experience in Mod Console field can do the assembly on this kind of chip, we should keep in mind that we are actually working on a Mod of 32 wires.

 

For the rest, the assembling are quite long, if you have a good experience in 30-45 minutes you should be able to assemble it on a Samsung Drive, it could take you up to 1 hour if you are assembling it on a Hitachi device. The time mentioned on various web sites can be optimistic, normally only a professional person could be able to do it and surely after 5 or more tryouts.

 

The Infectus is definitely a high quality chip designed for “handy men” who are always looking for a good product which gives the possibility to make use of the maximum capability of the console.

 

Surely this product is really interesting and to be taken into consideration.
