PS2 Slimline v12 Powering Problem...

[Skyone]

Hey guys, n00b here.

I've been assigned to create a PS2 portable, and stupidly took the job. Upon cracking open the PSTwo, I started to throw heatsinks on the mobo, temporary of course. Keep in mind the PS2 was being powered, but I think it was in idle (red LED) state. A heatsink on top of a random IC slipped. A few sparks started popping out, until I quickly moved the heatsink away. Obviously I shorted something out...

So after relaxing for a minute I turned the PS2 on hoping it would work. I insterted the power cord. The red idle LED turned on. I hit the switch and was happy as the green LED turned on, though it turned off a second later and went back to the red idle LED state... Everytime I try turning it on, this happens. I get no video, no sound, just the LED showing.

Re-cap:
-LED is red
-I press the on button
-LED turns green
-One second later, the LED turns red

Hopefully I can jump a fuse, or something easy of that sort... Can anyone help...?

test all the fuses. there's bound to be a few busted. Also never jumper a fuse. Replace it with another fuse of the same rating.

Are all of the fuses marked with PSxxx on the mobo? Luckily, the primary fuse labeled F0001 is still good.

EDIT: There are quite a few fuses with no continuity... hmm...

EDIT 2: WOOT! Fixed it, thanks for the advice. I just replaced fuse PS3 (labeled 252) with an extra 252 labeled fuse from another PS2 that will never see fixing, believe me.

WHEE!

Congrats! Wish all ps2 repairs were that easy
