How do I know which Playstation I have....

Want to buy a ps2 flip top but have no idea whether I need V4-7 OR V9+

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The flip-top sites should tell you exactly how to find out. It is to do with the number of screws on the bottom of your machine. I don't remember what the rule is.
