Should PS1 Fuse be a curcuit or not?

**Kwalsh24** · 07-15-2004,10:12 AM

I have tested the PS1 fuse section on many of my PS2 boards that dont work and some the curcuitis complete and others it is not. Which is correct?

ps1 should be a curcuit. if no curcuit means it's blown. is ps1 is blown the ps2 sholdn't power on to standby

Ok, so I have 4 ps2 boards with that fuse blown then, cause none of them make a curcuit. Now I removed one and it still does not make a curcuit when I place my tester on it, what the heck would cause that? the main white fuse is done also?

what is a compatible ps1 fuse for a v7 it has "ed" written on the fuse.

I used one of those big fuses with 50 onthem on one of my beater boards and it seemt to be workin!

I looked around on the forums, and think that the fuse marked 10 is the closest, please correct me if I am wrong, but you don't want to go to far over the other fuses limit, might fry your board.

Oh wait sorry my bad I used a meter and tested a s7 fuse and it had close to the same readings of the tiny fuse so i just used it. It seems to be fine thus far but like I said its a test board....

Version 7's have revised fuze names, replacing values like 30 and 50 with new names like S3 and S7, HOWEVER, they are still all the same values for function, comaparing the "S1" fuzes on these 3 diagrams will give you the actual value, and what old value-labeled fuze will have the same value, and work perfectly as a safe replacement, I wanna say I think that an S7 is in fact, a 50, but I'm not the one replacing it, look at the fuze diagrams I posted and make up your own mind.

FUZES should show 0 ohms, regardless of their value, if they're good. The rating is about how much current it takes to blow one, when they will all show open, regardless of the value.
