Replacing old PS2 modchip

I bought a PS2 fat that supposedly was cleaned and unmodified but it had a modchip (you can guess how i found out)

Currently i have no replacement yet but I have freemcboot and an internal hdd, so is there a safe way to remove it? I do have soldering kit but I only used it for replacing OG Xbox capacitor, my guess the chip would an Aladdin since it is common one

Information on LG RT-34FB11RB with Dual SCART?

I am kinda stuck on this one, I found two CRT but this one was in a good shape but all I find about is that it has a VGA port and component but no mention of Dual SCART in the back, the seller put a price on it because of that.

So does anyone know anything? Like progressive scan support for VGA maybe or SCART?

I bought several dreamcast booster to finish my collection and gave the rest to my friend but here's something I noticed, one foil card had this stamp number on the left but didn't belong to the collection, looks slightly metallic, and when I showed to my friend he also found one in the cards that I gave him which had the Jet Set Radio with a number on it, the card was regular and not special but the stamp felt odd as it was an exact placement to where the previous one had and compared them side by side.

Not sure if its special or has any meaning but I decided to keep it because I didn't how rare it was to find two card with a stamp on the side, any thought?

I was in the market yesterday and found some stuff and did a post but awaiting mods approval, does a Pentium D count as a part retrobattlestation? I found ton of Dell PC with it that I could refurb with GT730 GPU but would it count though? (I do wanna relive playing FEAR on older hardware)

I know how horrible of a choice for PS2 compatibility really but I don't have any (no really i don't, someone stole my fat model) and now I got a question, is it possible to load a PS2 game and play it? And what would be the expected performance since I am seeing some weird offers coming my way and I am dropping them for shady they can be and my spidey senses are telling me to dodge it even though the offer seems good just for the PS3 games

I found a seller in my area have a E72 brand new in a box and also an N95 (which i plan on buying) however I had been hesitant about buying E72 since it always reminded me of the Blackberry Bold models (not that i hate QWERTY) but is there a reason to say no to a brand new E72 and at a good price? (We are talking below 240$ with a box and unsealed tape wrap on the screen and cover)
