PS2 issue

THe processor board can have a battery control casualty preventing Power Supply board from working.  Some case it can damage a PS board when battery installed so be careful.  If the factory and conventional reset has not worked, and with your swapping of PS boards, I would imagine the processor board is bad.  G

The power board is the top board, and NO the sound does not stay on in DCS mode either.

Yes, I was hoping that someone might know what part is bad on the processor board, as there are none available!!

Got any bottom boards for the stacker set??  I have top boards.

It was announced that within a month that MTH will have Steam Upgrade Kits.  That being the case, I suspect that the bare PS32 boards should be close behind since they're a component of the Steam Upgrade Kit.

Yes the actual processor chip. No changing that.  G

Wonderful!

I've always called them a bottom board in my world for layman's terms when explaining it to others. I usually monitor the power consumption from the battery during charging and after shutdown to determine if the board is doing it's job properly. No draw after shutdown usually indicates a problem with the shutdown procedure from the CPU on the top board. I stopped doing component level repairs a few years ago and outsource those if they are repairable.
