Thank you for the kind words! It's so gratifying to have something broken and get it working again. Even if I'm living vicariously watching someone else fix something.
@@triggerguy8405 If the magnet doesn't grip the disc (sometimes happens when it wears out) the flex seal grips the disc allowing it to spin. I have a dedicated video for it that goes in depth it you're interested.
I'm glad you got yours working again! I love reading someone saved their console from the scrap bin 🙂 It's what inspires me to keep uploading videos. The more we save, not only can we continue to enjoy and appreciate them, but future generations.
Thanks! I've been falling behind on videos due to wedding planning but I'll be back in force after Those power surges can be quite devastating. Though knock on wood I haven't had a power surge repair yet that got past the power supply which is good. Power supplies can be rebuilt. Chips on a motherboard not so much 😂
Check the zd1&2 diodes. They should only have continuity in one direction. If they measure it in both directions it means the diodes are blown. As mine are in my ps2./
Very true! And thanks for pointing that out. This is an older video so I don't remember if I touched on that lol. But your advice is one that can help someone reading. I tend to check them if the caps are good. I have had power supplies where those were the culprit.
One of the zener diodes kept testing as bad. After sifting through some comments on various youtube vids, turns out there's a zener diode that is connected to a resistor which will give a false bad reading. So when in doubt, pull it out of the board and test it.
That's wild. I'm guessing none of those capacitors had bulging tops? I have a SCPH-30001 R with the exact same power supply and none of it caps are bulging but it's dead. Barely outputting 2-3 volts. I get the age of these things now but I would expect bulging or leaking. I'll probably be replacing mine soon.
That's what the crazy and frustrating thing is with caps. Though bulging and leaking are dead giveaways, they also just die with no obvious signs. I have an OG Xbox apart right now that won't boot and I'm suspecting bad caps. But to find it I have to remove them and then test them. But I'd say your issue is most likely the caps. I have a box of power supplies, all the same model number all dead. I think there was just a bad run on power supplies for a bit. Probably faulty caps. It is the time period that the capacitor plague was rampant.
The disc drive magnet was slipping preventing discs to be read. The flex seal increases the friction to allow the disc to be read since it's rubberized. I have an older video that goes in depth about it 🙂
@@ED_62 When the disc drive magnet wears out it'll make a grinding noise when it's spinning the disc, usually blue discs. In this video it caused the disc read error. Using flex seal adds friction back to the disc drive magnet to help it grip the disc again ☺️
@ i currently have an odd issue with my ps2 fat, it won’t read DVDs at all at first but if I give it a while to spin the DVD disc it’ll stop for like a minute or two and then start to spin and read the disc but will read ps1 and blue ps2 games flawlessly, could this magnet fix solve my problem? I’ve tried everything else I could think of to fix the issue. It sounds like the disc drive is just starting and stopping honestly, sometimes they’re clicking as well
I looked all over the Internet for these when filming the first power supply video I did. I couldn't find them. You'd think they'd be in the official Sony repair manuals but they aren't. Sony didn't make the power supplies so I don't think the power supply manufacturer ever released schematics for repair techs. It's unfortunate.
I’m new to disassembling consoles, but I have taken apart an original Xbox, and Xbox 360. I cleaned them and was able to change the thermal paste with no issues at all. I made my way over to my perfectly functional PS2 and began to disassemble it for a cleaning. I broke 2 ports that hold ribbon cables (Controller port & disc drive). After I put everything back together as best as I could, the lights on the power and eject buttons are not lighting up, so the console is essentially bricked. Is this because of those stupid ass ribbon cables, or did I mess something else up?
I've run into this before. I've cleaned perfectly functional PS2s and had them not power on. I would start by checking the connection to the ribbon cable to the power switch. Though my hunch from experience is saying a fuse on the motherboard blew. One of the fuses (I think it's fuse PS1?) blows super easy. There's guides online how to check them and where they're located and how to replace them. You'll basically take a multimeter and check for continuity. If there is none, it's blown. But take your time checking. Some of them are very tiny. And don't beat yourself up too bad. We've all made more work for ourselves along the way. It's how we learn and get better :)
@@titanrepairs Thanks for the information! I still have a lot to learn, but I became addicted to disassembling my consoles and cleaning them recently, so I might as well take the time to learn soldering and replacing fuses, etc.
@@Mental-Cobwebs That's how I started. I got laid off during COVID and needed something to do with my time so I took some of my old broken consoles (like my NES and fat PS2) and got them working again. Then I started buying more and selling them then bought more equipment. It starts to get dangerous hahaha.
@@titanrepairs I’m sure it was time well spent. It feels good to know you have the ability to open a console up and repair it. If I become proficient at it, then I’ll definitely start selling refurbished consoles and offering a repair service.
@@Mental-Cobwebs Go for it! It's great to see people getting involved and saving these consoles. Every day there's less of them and if you can pass one on that was scrap and now working to a new owner, that's a win in my book!
I've never worked on a 220v power supply so I'm not 100% sure of the differences but I'd imagine the basics are the same. The capacitors will likely go bad on the 220v version too.
@@rahmattulloh1844 Thank you for your reply and help! And I can understand your english without any issue! 😄 I eventually realized what you said and converted my PS2 a few months ago. It was super easy. I just replaced and it works now without the need of a converter. Hopefully your comment helps other people too.
Happy to have gotten this video on my main page ! Love repairing channels love to watch whilst repairing stuff myself

@@titanrepairswhat does the Flex Seal do to the magnet

@@titanrepairs thanks for the info and I subscribed as well
I did a recap on my dead ps2 psu that had no 12v output and now the ps2 is fully functional again. THanks

whats the value of the caps
Very nice mine had 3 ceramic disc capacitators dead those blue ones after power surge fuse and 3 caps died .Keep it up

@@titanrepairs No worries, I'll let you know when I get the diodes and solder them on if it fixes the issue. I dare say it will 👍

Hello What is the power supply output in amperes ZSSR094ZA how many amps
I missed what the flex seal does?

@@titanrepairs found it, i see now thanks
What was the reason for fixing the ps2 magnet? What does this solve?

Please, can you send all the micro uF and Volts of the 4 capacitors, the capacitance and voltage i mean, thank you…
The capacitance and voltages are printed on the capacitors. It may be different between power supply models.
Do you know where I can find the schematics for the Fat PS2 scph-39001 1-468-623-31 POWER SUPLY ?

Does anyone know if I can replace my PS2 NTSC FAT PSU with a PSU from a PAL one?
yes you can replace ntsc psu using pal version psu
because this psu was same just diferent volt some ntsc ps2 110v and pal 220v
sorry for bad english
