how can I replace PS601 fuse?

Post by bshi02 »

I have scph-9000 psx and a few days ago I found serious problem that it won't spin up and it doesn't have any leaser movement, even no pad movement(freeze) whenever I close lid.
I used digital multimeter onto mainboard fuse and found that different from other fuse, only PS601 fuse has high value resistance. I have known high resistance usually mean insulation or burnout of IC so I doubted PC601 fuse have caused disorder.
I'm convinced my problem caused by false PS601 fuse after read a document from below url

it seems I need to replace PS601 fuse with new one but I can't found PS601 fuse in my country(korea).
Is there any replacement instead of PS601?
and if it is OK to use a certain glass fuse for replacement,then what amp fuse should I use?
I'm sorry for my wierd ENGLISH which may cause some misunderstand and Thanks in advance.

I would just put put solder over where the fuse was. It will work fine.

Your recommendation is at risk for burnout all IC which is connected to that PS601 fuse.
I guess that fuse blew out when I had touched power supply condenser by mistake and just then, I got very strong eletronic shock.
I can't sure that I won't touch again power supply condensor or any eletronic substance which may emit electricity whenever I touch and It will have high possibilty of burnning out some critical electronic components if I solder just to connect end of the point and touch again as I did.
