That is very possible. If everything checks out okay on the hardware side of things, then it's possible something software wise got corrupted.

Try testing the resistor arrays that are between the cpu and gpu on both sides of the motherboard. They should be 47 ohm iirc, but if they're not in that range, you could try running jumper wires.

This morning I tested all the resistors, in my case between the CPU and the GPU they are all 68ohm as shown in the images on the first page, I tested them all, and on both sides, they all have a value between 67.7 and 68.2 ohm so they seem to be ok, to be sure I tested all the voltages and fuses again and everything is ok.

If your sure everything is okay hardware wise, you could put a disc in it and listen to see if it's spinning as it should when booting a game just to confirm if things work software wise.

Again, if your sure on the hardware aspect, it could also be stuck in YpBpR or RGB mode. If it was set to one of these modes, regular composite cables won't work. It's a long shot but you could either try component cables plugged in to see if it works, or try blindly going through the menu to see if you can change the mode. There's some videos on this if your curious.

If a disc sounds like it's booting, and you've tried this mode change method and it still doesn't seem to work, I would start looking at any components related to the DAC as an issue possibly, but it's hard to say

Hey.I did some tests, I tried to change the menu mode blindly and change the cable and nothing changed, I assembled the DVD player and put in a game, the disc spins and the lens moves but the lens keeps trying to read, but also from what I remember the player is defective, I tried to resolder the video chip (CXM4015AR) and the board after that started to show a short in the line that feeds the IC, so I assumed it was it, so I tried to change it for another one, but nothing changed, it continues to give video but it gets stuck on a black screen, but I get the chip from a scrap board so it may be defective.

Hi all ,I have an issue with my ps2 slim 90004,av cable only display black and white in start menu,there is no color in RGB mode,but when I launch the game it turn to color,display looks normal,and when I switch back to Y cb/pb cr/pr mode and connect correct into TV in component mode,ps2 slim start without any images but when the game launch images appear. I do have another ps2 ,and test the cable,everything looks fine,I even change the battery inside the console,still same issue,when I connect composite converter to HDMI ,the color shows too,I am confusing.please help me with this

What type of console do you have? I.e NTSC or PAL? Sometimes this can happen if you connect your NTSC console to a PAL TV and vice versa

It's likely that if you have a NTSC console and are playing PAL games on a PAL TV for example, that the menu is running in NTSC mode (so to speak) which is not compatible with your TV, but when you boot a PAL game (which is compatible with your TV) the color shows fine.

I hope this makes sense lol

my back of console shows :PAL

Sorry to post in this old thread. The board scan image is awesome!

I have a Hong Kong version PS2 SCPH-90006, and the layout is different from this one. I attached the photo of my board in the end.

I just want to ask a very stupid question. I accidentally wired 15V power into my PS2 90k, and I think some part of it is broken because the LED doesn't turn on.
I tested the voltage based on this board scan. Even though my PS2's board is different, I think it follows a similar logic.

I found that the input voltage is 7.5V going into an 8-pin chip, which delivers different voltages to the board (5V / 3.5V / 2.5V). I marked this part from the scan — it's this section:

input-power.jpg

But on my fried board, the output of this chip is all zero. The input is 7.5V, but the rest of the board reads zero everywhere.
I assume this chip is dead, but I couldn’t find an exact match because the marking isn’t very clear. It seems to be:
4830A
AF
(with a triangle symbol)
L78K
mine-input.jpg


From the discord channel,@jameshehfefld kindly tole me this is 'Vishay SI4830ADY' (Thanks a lot!)

Then I found another picture — in fact in the scanned GH-072-42 version, it's a different component:
2218
0C2
6100
2218.jpg

I'm not very good at reading PCB layouts, so now I'm not even sure if I actually found the faulty part.
On my board (GH-070-42), I can’t even find the square chip that I think is supposed to be the controller for the MOSFET — if that’s what it is?
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!!

Okay, the PCB board you show me as yours has a different layout than the board I did the color voltage mapping on, the one I did the mapping on is the most common (I believe it is), call me privately so I can help you.

Thank you! I think your scan might be more common outside of Asia (like Japan or Hong Kong), or maybe it’s from a newer revision.
My board seems to match the one used in this post — it looks like Asian modders used this version quite a lot:

Anyway, I just wanted to ask if you can spot the PMIC on my board — PM sent!
