Yes, that would be a v10 console. Same version as mine, actually!

The romeo mod basically disconnects the LA6508 chip from its 12v power source and reconnects it to a 5v power source. The decrease in power going through the LA6508 chip prevents it from burning itself and your laser coils out. Refer to Starlight's post here to see what the romeo mod looks like on a v9 console. I have attached a couple pictures that indicate the locations of 5v sources on a v10 console.
