My V5 fatty ps2 with matrix infinity installed has decided to go kaputz. I suspect it is a ribbon cable issues but cannot say with 100% certainty. Hoping I will be able to transplant my existing motherboard with chip into an existing system. Let me know if you happen to have a V5 SCPH-30001 R
note: some V4s have the same model number

ideally working though I'd probably take a broken system for parts. Unwilling to go above $50 shipped considering gamestops pricing / local availability, if youre feeling generous lmk
