PS2 Fan Not Spinning, Fan Fuse Replacement 

I think I found the problem, the PS5 one doesn't show continuity (same revision as yours). Dumb question, what are these black pieces called and how to get/search for them?

Glad the video was able to help. Was the cable of the old fan damaged during the cleaning, this can cause the fuses to blow. If you have the same board PS5 is a 0.7a fuse. If you search for 0.7a SMD fuse you should see some options. They come in different sizes, try and get one with similar dimensions.

@@EasyConsoleFixes I think when I was spraying compressed air on the fan, it was spinning, might be the only connection to it. If so, that's pretty unfortunate. I was actually able to obtain a 0.75A fast acting glass fuse (not SMD) but I have not implemented it yet. I have not found proper SMD but thought this can work too. I got stuck where I would have to connect this glass fuse to the motherboard. I am not sure what type of wire or gauge to use, but could easily be overthinking it. This is the video reference ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3mHuh-lVBS8.html Right now I'm toying with usb wiring as the last resort or temporarily testing fans, but would like to fix it internally.

The compressed air on the fan could have did it, I always hold a fan with a screw driver or something to stop it spinning when hitting it with compressed air. The glass fuse should work, it just might be tricky to find a place for it to sit.

@@EasyConsoleFixes Just curious, how were you able to remove the SMD fuse or any techniques? I just managed to attach wires to a fuse and it's maintaining continuity; my plan is to wire that to the board so the removal of the SMD fuse is where I'm at. I'm finding a lot of trouble doing so, looks very simple but I can't do it easily and don't want to force it or heat it too much.

Thanks for the comment. I don't see blown fuses on the PS1 boards very much, its nearly always just dead lasers. Had the seller told you the board was missing the CCP2E20 before you purchased the board.

The seller didn't know much about the PS1. They sell lots of second hand stuff ("As is and no returns" on all the items). I don't think they were the first owners. It's a Japanese 7000 model PU-20 but the board is inside a 7501 case. My guess, the fuses blew because it was plugged into 240v outlet instead of a 110v outlet. Or a bad memory card/controller did it. I should get the replacement fuses in the mail this week and I'll let you know how the fix goes. @@EasyConsoleFixes

@@EasyConsoleFixes I replaced the the CCP2E15 and CCP2E20 fuse plus cleaned up the solder bridge made where the other fuse was and put in a CCP2E20 fuse. Now the control port works again plus it can read memory cards! However, I ordered a 240 to 120v step-down converter. I have one already but it's generic 120watts and not sure if it's a good idea to run the PS1 on a step-down with that much power. The one I bought is only running 60w and it's specifically for PS1, Dreamcast and Sega Saturn. Also I want to grease and clean the CD reader because it makes an awful sound. If a re-grease doesn't work I'll buy a new one (as at the time writing this new ones are being made). I'll keep you updated.

@@yanghao8351 Yeah you could be right. 240v into a 110v machine would almost certainly blow some fuses.

@@yanghao8351 Yeah any time I open one of these old consoles I like to reapply some grease. It makes a huge difference to how they run.

Thanks for the comment, I'm not sure if I forgot to put flux on or if I did but just didn't show it in the video, I can't remember now.

I don't think the power button would cause the console to display no video. If you have a green light the console is on, so your issue is something else.

Have you the disc tray put back together correctly. There is a white plastic piece which slides left and right at the end of the disc tray. Part of this piece should sit into the grove that runs front to back on the underside of the disc tray. It's easy to forget to make sure its lined up when putting the console back together and it will cause the blue light to flash but the tray not to open like you describe.

I didn't open the disk driver, I just disconnected the cables (before this the disk tray opened normally). But in this process I think I damaged some of these cables, so when I put them back on, the disc tray no longer opens

It's probably a broken fan or the fuse as shown in the video. Are you comfortable soldering or using a multimeter.

Bro i solved that problem i opened my ps2 but my ps2 was so dusty and fan was jammed due to dust i cleaned my ps2 then i turn on my ps2 the fan has fixed and spinning now

@@bayaratrushi9865 A nice easy fix, glad to hear you got it sorted.

thanks brother

This is a strange one. It does seem like the console is turning on, I would start by checking the fuses on the board to make sure none have blown. The console is turning on and coming out of standby mode when the red light is on but not turning on fully.

@@EasyConsoleFixes thanks for your replay sr! I've checked the fuses, they are good and there is energy from the power supply... I was really trying to fix it because this ps2 was the last gift my grandpa left to me before he passed, but after so much effort I'm starting to think about use the ps2 ffat case to build a computer inside it! Dont know yet if there are any mobos who could fit inside it, or maybe I'll use those tiny motherboards from androi's tv box... my idea is use it to emulate old consoles, but using the ps2 beautiful case to it!

@@zowkingame1169 That is a nice idea for the case if you can't get the console fixed. I wonder has one of the chips or something failed. If you really wanted to keep the console running you could pick a replacement motherboard from eBay.

Issues with the fan such as a faulty fan or the fan getting blocked etc can cause them to blow, however as these consoles get older I am seeing a number of these fuses blowing without seeing any other cause. Some people think there is an issue with the fuses causing them to blow as they age but I don't know if that's true or not.

I have seen the fan wire get damaged during reassembly, if in the wrong location it can get pinched. You can test the fans with a 9v battery if you want to rule out whether they work or not. Also I have a link in the description which shows the different board revisions, it may help you if you need to find the fan fuse on your board.

@@EasyConsoleFixes well what ive done so far is use a different fan from a parts board. That one only works on the parts board not the current effected board. I removed ps5 from the parts board no more fan activity but I removed it's sauder pad off the chip. I then took ps7 off and moved it to the effected board replacing Its ps5 and I've currently got nothing. Currently out buying a multimeter as this message goes out.

@@zane.fritts Yeah the multimeter is needed, more than one fuse could be blown.

You seem to still be able to pick them up on AliExpress if you don't mind waiting a long time for them to arrive. I would do what you are doing and just use a similar size fuse, there should be no issue.

@@EasyConsoleFixes Thanks! I checked and found some but they're sold in lots of 50. Not terribly expensive but more than I need. Might do that and sell the rest on eBay though. Might also be good to have on hand given the scarcity of them.

The diagram says 0.7A fuse. What if i use 1A fuse in same size. Qwould that work?

@@schwarzeneggermanoj2634 Generally going higher on fuses isn’t recommended. You could go with a smaller value and the worst that would happen is it’ll blow if the circuit draws more than its rating. Going higher would put other components at risk if the original cause was a short somewhere.

It will work but you wont have the same level of protection if the fault happens again. It's definitely better to use the 1A rather than just bridging the gap with solder or wire or something.

The fan should be always spinning. I'm not sure what the issue is if it is spinning then stopping.

@@EasyConsoleFixes oh.. okay thanks 👍

It would probably be ok but you need to be sure the new fan is getting enough power to spin fast enough to keep the console cool.

Figured out the fan is stil working. Fuses also okay. Would you have an idea why its not functioning ? It Also happened after cleaning actually
