So I just replaced the power ribbon on my PS2....

Post by Devezu »

And now it won't turn on. I put it in(http://vpgames.com/p-3648-sony-ps2-repl ... ion-2.aspx), and the lights do not turn on (the Power/Reset one). Pressing them does nothing either. I had a hackneyed one I made from the broken one, but that didn't work...


Do you guys have any suggestions?


PS - This is a SCPH-30001 model with no IR port, but 2 USB ports and 1 S400 port (V4). Right now, both shells are off, and AFAIK, all cables are connected.


Edit: posted link of cable

Is it facing the right way? Did you get it plugged back in without bending and perhaps breaking one of the traces?

Well, I'll try a different direction, but it is still very straight.

Edit: I think it may not be going in deep enough....

Edit two: nope, still nothing - any other suggestions?

Edit three: Well, I just ordered a new power switch because I think I fried it when trying to fashion my own power ribbon...
