Hello Everyone! for the past few months I have been trying to create a mobile ps2 on budget (which failed cause I've spent almost 600 on all the materials), and I realized that I do not know where to start on this project. I am aware of the PS2 trimming guide made by @Gman , which is VERY helpful, but i am still a mere normie when it comes to electronics. I have watched all of the videos on the website that help you with soldering, troubleshooting and such, but there are a few questions that I haven't been able to find an answer for ( and these questions are going to be pretty dumb). So here are my questions compiled into one post as to not spam the forum with this stuff.
General stuff:
1). What is the best method to trim a PCB??( Ive seen people use a saw, sharp edges, but idk)
2).For wires that are soldered onto the PCB itself, how is that done? (I assume for mods and power relocations, one would have to scratch the surface of the PCB to reveal the copper plate below, then solder a wire with a desired voltage to its required place?)
3).What is the best way to trouble shoot for a short? (Ive seen on youtube several methods but I may be mixing them all up)
I greatly appreciate any help I can Get, thanks!
