In response to my last video, vacaymoney25 has decided to rename their ebay account to my personal username "Sampsonay" For the record, I exclusively do business as "Studio Halabi" and I am not associated with vacaymoney25 in any way. Nor have I given them permission to use my personal username. I kindly request anyone who has the eBay app on their phone to report their account for slander / defamation for associating me with their work. Their account is linked below and you can copy and paste the following info in your report:

This user was previously named 'vacaymoney25' and was recently exposed on YouTube for misrepresenting the work performed on consoles sold to customers. See the video below:

The user has since changed their username to 'sampsonay' which is the personal username of the creator who made that YouTube video, who is not associated with this eBay seller in any way. This appears to be deliberate impersonation of that individual in retaliation for the video.
Here is proof that 'sampsonay' is an established username belonging to someone else:

@kingpindegen Yes, but thankfully I didn't have to worry about the RROD. I had this instead:

Currently setting up the new rack. I think the video switch is the most expensive thing in this setup lol. She is indeed a beauty tho. @Arthrimus

@RamiSafadi93 Don’t beat yourself up, it happens to the best of us. Feel free to dm me, fixing these kinds of issues is my thing.

Big iFlash2PS2 breakthrough! @rezenclowd3 informed me that he and pcm720 had tried following the advice of @Gusse__ to add 100pf capacitors to ground on the RESET, DIOW, DIOR and DMACK pads of the PS2 motherboard. They found that with this modification in place the iFlash was much more reliable at detecting SD cards even when the PS2 was hot, which has been a problem with some PS2s (especially SCPH-70001 models).

After some of my own tinkering I found that 200pf capacitors seem to work better for GH-032 motherboards, making hot reboots basically 100% reliable. I don't see any negative effects on GH-035 motherboards from using 200pf capacitors, so I'm going to recommend that as standard for all PS2s.

Now for the big news. Not only does this mod improve hot restart reliability, it also has unlocked reliable detection of many previously incompatible SD cards including SanDisk 1TB and 1.5TB cards! There are probably many other previously incompatible cards that will work now, but I don't have a huge sample size to test at the moment.

I've updated the install guide on my website to explain how to perform the mod. It works on all revisions of the iFlash flex.

I've ordered a reel of 200pf capacitors and once they arrive next week I will begin including them with each iFlash kit sold.

@MrMario2011 If you happen to shop there, these prices at Costco are also quite intriguing.
