Broken PS2

Zero 9 - Nov 24, 2004

		Zero 9	Nov 24, 2004
		I got a broken ps2 for free. When you try to turn it on, it has no power at all. I checked cable, the main fuse in the power supply, and looked at the motherboard fuses. They all appear fine, although I don't know how to tell exactly if the fuses on the motherboard have blown. I have double checked all the cables and such. Any suggestions?

		The power supply may be fried. Even if all the fuses are good, if the PSU isn't supplying a standby voltage you won't be able to turn it on.

		Oh, I forgot to mention I switched the power supply with one from a good ps2 to no avail.

		Maybe the motherboard itself is dead. Does it have any weird coloring over the PCB? Check near the PSU connector.

		Everything inside the PS2 visually appears normal.
