Two More PS2 Slim Not Powering Up Repairs:
These are a couple of repairs I previously never got around to writing up, but ran across the photographs earlier today so decided to post them up.
PS2 Slim (1):
First up another rather typical issue I’ve come across on these awful models:
Solder joints on the power connector broken, which is a really simple re-solder fix:
Back to working fine:
PS2 Slim (2):

The case screws hidden under plastic covers that can be easily pried off with a flat headed screwdriver:
Naked PS2 Slim:
For a change the power jack connector was not the issue here.

After testing them all using the conductivity test of my Multi-Meter I discovered that fuse at location PS17 was broken, so as I didn’t have any appropriate replacement fuses to replace it I bridged the connection:
Re-assembled and re-tested:
