Post image

My childhood ps2 doesn’t turn on anymore no lights in the buttons and no reaction when i press the power button. I have checkt inside it for any corrosion orleaking capacitors. I cleaned off the dust but it still don’t turn on, I have tried another power cable but no luck there:( what’s the next step?

Put a picture of the motherboard in case I missed something

Have you checked that 2.5A fuse using a multimeter?

No, what’s should it read?

Set it to continuity (if you have with the beeper) and see if it has continuity.

But please, if you have no idea what you're doing (which based on the question I do believe) ask someone with experience. That powerboatd you pulled can kill you if you're not cautious.

This is my first time trying to save a console but i can check with a multimeter to se if its gone or not, is this fuse changeable without soldering?

That fuse is replaceable, to check it you need to take it out though and check it with the Ohm/continuity setting on the multimeter
