Hi. When I was about 15, and a complete retard, moron and idiot with electronics, I was REALLY eager to play some backed up games on my SCPH-39002 PS2. What I did was, I actually tried to do the 'swap trick' by moving the drives lock over so that the tray would eject without the console knowing. Well, I did something wrong and it would not engage back. When I opened the console, I was a complete idiot, and I ripped the power and eject ribbon cable. Still really eager, I just got a screwdriver and tried to short the power terminals to try and turn it on to play a normal PS2 game again. Of course, this fried something. It will not turn on now at all, nor seem like it is getting any power. So, I bought a faulty console, and used the board from that instead (SCPH-39002 of course) and packed the original safe in an anti-static bag. Now it is 4 years later, and I would like to put the original board back where it belongs. Trouble is, I remember testing all the fuses I could find, with no luck. So of course, someone here could help me out. I am looking at you olivera ;-) Apart from the board, the drive is not ejecting at all. It needs a little sewing oil on the gears (I cleaned all the original gunk off) and an alignment. I want to do this, because the console does not 'feel' the same as when I grew up with it. I think everyone has that feeling when they replace something in the console they loved Thanks :Rock:
Smd fuses are a night mare if you dont know what you are doing but you will need a multi meter mate. And check what fuse is blown? You can still buy ps2 fuses on sites i know of one. http://www.ps2sparesrus.net/ I used to help him do some repairs years ago.
Wow its been 4 years or more since that ps2 came out? Haunted does the red power led still come on when you apply power? can try shorting the fuses one by one just to see if the light goes on.
Off topic, but it hasn't been up to four years, outside of Japan that is. That model was released at about this time four years ago in Japan, but outside there it's only been available since some point around the second or third quarter of 2008.
The power supply itself has a fuse, usually. Dig it out and actually see if the red light comes on. Then check the PSU fuse. Then every other fuse. Then post results. At this point you're asking us "hey guys whats wrong with this PS2 that I can't accurately describe".
Power supply is fine. There is a blown fuse somewhere. I will do some more testing with my multimeter today No standby (red) light is present on the console. And this console came out in March 4, 2000 in Japan. However, November 30th for Australia.
:shrug: "This console"... what the hell? You seriously think that we did not know that? That is obviously when the PS2 was released, but the latest slim model that you have model was of course not around back them? What's the point in such a comment? It just looks like you want to confuse people or something.
Because it is not a slim. I accidentally said it was a 90002. It is a SCPH-39002. Sorry for the confusion.
PS1 is the fuse for the voltage regulator which powers on the SYSCON CHIP. NO SYSCON, no PS2. It's THAT simple. Edit: Because there's a blue led on the power/reset switch board they draw the 12V from the PSU there to power the said led. So an short circuit on the power switch ribbon cable is likely what made your PS1 blow.
