PS1 power refuses to turn on...

Post by Crystatic »

I jumped all of the fuses that are shown here, but PS1 power still refuses to turn on. I accidentally destroyed a little brown thing near the two fuses that are right below the yellow power jack thing though, could that be the problem?

Camera wont work right now, so I took pics from a fuse thread in the pinned PS1 topic and edited them. What I broke is circled in red.

I tried it them one by one, and jumped more as it still refused to power up.

And then when you found which fuse was blown, you LEFT ALL THE OTHERS JUMPED?!

Is that a problem? How big is the risk?

I may put them back, but I want the PS1 to power up first.

Well fuses are there to protect the board, so when you jumped all the fuses your board has no protection at all.

Okay. How can I get the power running again?

You buy a new PSOne. :lol:

But seriously, by jumping those fuses, you have nothing to protect key components of the board from an overcurrent condition; whatever was shot initially has now been made worse. It'd probably be better just to go out and buy a completely new unit, they're not that much.
