Hi. A few weeks ago my PlayStation 2 Slim (model NTSC-J 90006) stopped working out of nowhere. It just turned off on its own and it never worked again. StandBy light comes, and pressing power shows the green led, but the consoles gives no sign of life: No Video, No Audio, Disk doesn't spin, fan doesn't spin. The think was 12 years old and never had any issues before, so i sent it to a technician. After the evaluation he told the console's motherboard was "too rusty", therefore there was no fix. He offered to replace the mobo, but the price was higher than a second hand PS2 with original controllers, MCs and games. I said no and got my PS2 back.
Since the console was dead, i opened it to give a look, but to my surprise there is not signs of rusting anywhere, Aside from collected dust, there was no signs of rusted eletronics, no opened capacitors, the modchip looks fine, the power supply looks in good shape to me, no cut cables. Does anyone here know what issue could it be? I want to test the PSU, but i don't know how to use a multimeter. The multimeter i have it this yellow one in the photos.
Motherboard model is GH-070-42. Modchip is Matrix Infinity v1.93.
Now i'm almost sure the technician never fully opened my PS2 for inspection. For some reason, my PS2 is slight different from other 9000x models i saw online, mine was harder to dissassemble.
