I got a PS2 from a friend to see if I could fix it...it won't power on...does anyone have any ideas on why?
I'll tincker around with it but if anyone can lend a hand I will greatly thank them.
I'm not the smartest when it comes to fixing things so the more help the better....thanks


Gen,

well, if you can take it apart, you could use a Volt-Ohm meter to see if the switch works. Just make sure you dont have it plugged in. A simple resistance test of the switch to see it go to 0 (zero) or close to it when the switch is closed.

The schematics would help, as would a layout of the board inside.

The power supply itself might be toast as well.

thanks....
I'll try it


Gen,

Any luck Gen?

it ended up there were a few things wrong with it...the laser went bad as well
so he ended up taking it to ebgames and they fixed. BUt thanks for the help.
