____Blue tack causing bridges?...____

**titanium_apple** · 05-02-2003,12:28 PM

When i reassembled my ps2, i noticed that i had left the blue tack i used when soldering on the ps2 mobo in between the pins, but i didnt think that would matter as it wouldn't conduct. Now, the ps2 boots up, but I don't get a picture or audio. Could the blue tack be causing the pins to be bridged? Thanks

I doubt it. I put bluetack directly onto the board, and mine works perfectly.

Sounds like it could be a bios solder bridge or the connections to the cd\dvd controller points are not good.

What version ps2 do you have?

Check those via points out very carefully along with the bios points

In the end I soldered to the actual cd/dvd controller pins instead of the alternative via points, as they were a bit fragile for my liking. I'm gonna try some re-soldering, remove the blue-tack, and try it again. Thanks

The blue-tack is still right on the board and my PS2 works perfectly.
