Checking Fuses On Later Versions - Sony PlayStation 2 Repair Manual

NEXT IS A SMALL SAMPLE
OF ANOTHER PART OF THE GUIDE
CHECKING FUSES ON EARLIER VERSIONS
Last we will check the fuses. There are two located on the power supply board. (see photo) The one you see
below is what you will see in earlier versions of the PS2. Typically versions 1-3. If you have a later version then
you will see what looks like in the next picture. Use the section that applies to your particular PS2.
Remove the fuses one at a time from their holder. Take your voltmeter and put a lead on each side of a fuse.
You should read a short. If you don't, then the fuse is blown and will need to be replaced. Read the value of the
fuse either written on the circuit board beneath the fuse or on the silver connection on the end of the fuse. The
fuse by the power plug on mine is 3.25A (amps).

CHECKING FUSES ON LATER VERSIONS

components as described above. You will need to remove the bottom cover of the console and flip the console
