This is a timing wire issue. The "R" wire must be run along the edge of the board and it must be away from all the other wires. I had this same problem, but after moving that wire away and fooling with it for a few minutes, I got it right. After you get it in the right spot, just tape it down. Good Luck.

Also, make sure that you have the 50k Magic V, its made to work properly on the V9 systems. Regular magic v wont do.

modchip.ca does sell the 50k magic v. Look at the pull down options on the product page.

yeah i see it now its like 54$ ship :( man if only apple pro worked on a v9 cause 54$ is kinda steep for me cause i still have to get money to get a install i hope i sell my apple system then that would solve my problems i will check around the net and see if i can find any more magics V i will use there fake ditection to make sure the chips r real :)
