Known as the ''PS2'', it is a sixth-generation video game console first released by Sony in Japan in March 2000. The United States saw it later in 2000 with the SCPH-30000. Repair of this device requires only common tools, but can get tricky.
I had gotten the console from a friend and it turned on just fine, now even though I've tried several different power cords it the light won't even come on.
Hey mate, this sounds like a power supply issue. Your options are, trying to fix the power supply (cold be changing a fuse, up to a capacitor). Or replacing the power supply its self. If you wish to fix it either way,follow this teardown;
