I've had a few people commenting to see if I can fix device. Well, if you're interested in having me try to fix your device, feel free to shoot me an email at fixmorewasteless@gmail.com. This isn't a paid service, just something I want to do to help those who need it. You'd be responsible for return shipping and any major parts like screens, so it's not a completely free service, but I'm not charging for the repair. Email me about your device and what the issue is and I'll let you know if I think I can help.
replace caps with silver and purple line that requires 240/220microF and 39/16V, are located at side right of gpu. that means no power for gpu and cpu.
Unless the PS2 has been set to use component cable? That will cause a black screen even when using composite… I just can’t remember the combination you have to press but online there are guides to walk through it somewhere :)
Going for that array resistor directly was a surprise for me xD What I'd do would be checking the video pin from the AV port with an oscilloscope to see if there's any signal, and then going back and back following an schematic until you arrive at a point where you can actually see the video signal; that'd mean that last component you checked is the culprit. btw if you want to do hardcore things, you could use those SMD resistors but in vertical so they won't overlap with next one XD (please don't)
Oh that's great advice. I don't have an oscilloscope, it might be a little beyond what I normally do but perhaps one day I'll get one. I'm not sure my hand is steady enough to try soldering the resistors on their sides but now that you mention it you've made me want to try lol.
@@FixMoreWasteLess An oscilloscope is pretty expensive and it took me some years to decide to expend money on one (Rigol DS1202Z-E). I definitely have no idea about how to use it properly yet xD But it's being so helpful even for just checking video signals.
have you ever found a slim ps2 which starts to display only after a while (when it gets warm)? I found mine doing it after taking it out of storage, it's a 70004 model. When cold the disc spins but slowly, and no audio/video works. After getting warm, audio/video comes on and the console works just fine.
No that's a weird one. Maybe the A/V port isn't making good contact with the board when cold and then as it heats up and expands a bit the contact improves enough for the signal to come through? Does the port feel flimsy or are any of the through hole pins looking cracked or broken? If so try touching them up with solder and see if that helps. I hope you can get it working!
@eWasteLess the port seems alright, i tried to move the av cable in it with no change (also tried a different cord). The whole PS2 seems half dead when the display isn't working, because even if the CD spins it never goes into high speed, and no audio comes through. I'll have a better look in the weekend, i suspect maybe some solder joint is broken around the memory / bios?
@@chocomochino I found out after a while it was the bios chip being broken, not solder joints or surrounding components...heating up only that specific chip (touching it with a hot piece of metal) brings the console back to life. I did in fact place a resistor heating up on top of it and it makes it work
My PS2 has a similar issue but the only difference is that mine seems to catch signal on the TV/Monitor, but for some reason, it doesn’t have any audio or show any video. This issue has been driving me crazy 😅

Great video. I think we be seeing that ps2 again sometime soon

I hope to see a continuation of this in the future.
awesome helpfull video like your fix stuff keep it up
Thanks! Really appreciate that!
I had a ps2 5 years ago stop putting out video. I just pulled it out the closet a week ago and it works again. LONG but easy fix, lol
Where can i buy these from? Struggling to find any

Hi my ps2 does have sound but no display i tried the down up down3x then x still nothing happened tried also another tv but nothing happened

Replace rb109 those are 47ohms resistor ics
