PS2 Slim broken power plug (the yellow plug)

Alright.
So,I've found and built from parts a slim 70003 PS2 but the power plug was broken and I had to clean what was left.
Now,I'm left with a blank space where the plug was.
I want to ask you,is it possible to power the PS2 directly using a old ATX PSU?

 

web search results:

ps2 wafer transformer:

i'm NO expert in this area but you'll require a stepper of some kind on one of the atx transformer outs that has the amperage to compensate for the ps2 demands (8.5v DC) 5a is a bit, 5.65a takes this piss!
atx generic:

i've not found anything conclusive but it maybe possible with the right gear?!
...
my advice is, get another transformer of equal output values to the original wafer transformer, OR an official block.
it's a circuit overlay you'll require for the atx transformer to sit on the 3.5v output, that generally carries the bulk of the amps, next is the 5.5v, then the 12v...complicated, not impossible!
searching for diagrams my side turns up SHIT, perhaps others can offer some tips on building a DC-to-DC converter for this specific task? :wink-new:
all the best. (curious to see how this pans out, could be useful?)
[edit]
typo.
[edit again]
may help...or not?

 

It's not the power block that's broken.
It's the yellow connector on the PS2 motherboard that broke off.

 

^^ then...
i'm lost, seriously! :concern:
if that's all it is, resolder it back on if possible, or get a replacement DC in socket? (no point over complicating the deal and going 'rube goldberg' about it)
your choice?! :witless:

 

I'd try and do that,but I'm broke atm and the pins on the plug broke off.
Also,I want this PS2 to be my first DIY one,and it's also going to be as a backup in case my fat would ever die.That's why I chose using a ATX PSU.Also it's the only almost intact slim board I could find through my "Everest of Motherboards".I said almost as it's missing a USB port but that's not a big problem.

 

Hmm... just replace that connector or both on PCB and PSU (if you can't find exactly the same one), it's very easy if you know how to handle soldering iron Just don't forget about polarity.
But if this stuff is too complicated for you - find anyone who repair TVs, radios etc. It won't cost you much.

 

Yes but with what plug?
The only plug I found on a external HDD board uses a 12V 2A PSU,and the one I got from a PS1 slim is missing one of the pins.

 

meaning a spare matching 'plug and socket'...
change the plug on the ps2 transformer, swap it with the 'replacement' and when done, solder the matching socket to the motherboard.
make sure you get polarity right.
...
you're still using the official block, just changing the DC socket/plug, you did say you had no means to get power to ps2, a spare socket and plug should solve the issue, just you're locking in that transformer to that ps2 specifically, because of the physical changes both sides.. :wink-new:
Flash was clear!
[edit]
typo.

 

Well,I couldn't find any.
Any other DIY options?

 

^^ well, try looking at other objects.
for example, portable cassette/cd players that's utterly fucked, (even battery cell charger housings used for car cigarette lighter sockets) salvage DC in socket if present, then find a matching plug of equal dimensions, THAT FITS WITHOUT A DEATHGRIP and you're gold! :cocksure:
failing that, you could use a computer molex plug and socket, use two pins, but give a bit of length to the socket as you'll know how rigid and grippy molex is. (ide hdd/optical drive power coupling)
...
improvise safely, i'm all tapped out...
use imagination, but with common sense and SAFETY paramount!
good luck! :smile-new:

 

Check ebay. "power socket (or jack) ps2". PJ043 or DC043 it seems.

 

Well,I'll go the Molex plug route,but before going on,what kind of Molex should I use?
HDD/DVD power plug or 4pin P4 plug?
Also,that kind of plug PS2 uses has 3 pins,+,- and ground. How will the Molex supply all these?

 

any should be fine.
if you have any of the floppy/tape drive socket/plugs use that! (smaller but four-pin still, you're only using two pins at best)
but it really doesn't matter what socket/plug you use as long as they fit together properly and wired correct.
the voltages are the same/unchanged in any way, the official transformer is still used.

:wink-new:

 

First,there should be 3 pins.So one for +,one for - and one for GND.
Second,If I go the molex route that means it will be directly powered from a source,and so the official transformer won't be used.

 

WTF are you talking about?!
all was suggested is change the plug on the fuckin transformer and put a new matching socket on the ps2 motherboard...
you're NOT changing anything.
cut the plug-end off the ps2 transformer lead to reveal two wires. (the - and + is used, check for traces on that third pin, it's likely just support of the socket or a double of the -/gnd?) i've never had to replace a socket on a ps2 slim, but i'm CERTAIN i could manage with foresight and magination. (particularly if the official block is still in use)
...
maybe it's a translation thing?
but every suggestion put you way got over-complicated, DO SOME RESEARCH YOURSELF! (youtube and 'psxscene/afterdawn may help?)
i'm out, seriously need to get wrecked.
...
sorry for being rude, my time and patience is extremely finite, do some web scouring at other forums too! (my initial response to this thread gave lead to possible solution, but you muddied the water asking about ATX units when all you wanted was a socket replacement, BOTH was answered adequately, one of which by another, i really can't see the problem, find another socket)
...
see ya! :|

losing shit, typos...

 

Get a replacement power jack form ebay here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-Play...uting_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item4ac4a3feab or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-Power-...uting_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item3a63300298

 

^^ agreed, but OP is broke, it's the right suggestion. (mirrored above by another) :smile-new:
Game.Hack Season 1 Episode 6 - PS2 Power Connector

 

At this moment I'm broke.

Also,I give up on it.It seems the motherboard has a missing capacitor next to the place where the power jack was,and also it seems there was a failed modchip install,along with some scratches (some of which pretty visible) along traces.I just didn't notice those at the beginning,and fixing them would be out of the question,as I don't have a silver conductive pencil (or whatever it is)to fix the traces,and soldering wires to rebuild the connections isn't an option either,due to my soldering in being to powerful (40w).


So,long story short,I'm scrapping it and I'll save money for a original Xbox as mine turns on and off three times then flashes red and green until I turn it off.

 

FYI: Such type of jacks are a standard Japanese connectors called EIAJ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIAJ_connector).
The one which is used in PS2 is EIAJ-3.
They are very inexpensive in online electronic distributors (http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?KeyWords=EIAJ-3).
