CRAP!

Was just finishing up a job for a client on a PS1 SCPH-5501 model, tested it last night after the mod, but was putting it back together today and went to test it one last time... when I turned it on it just made a high-pitched whine and nothing happened. Come to find the power cord was not in all the way.

Shoved it in all the way and turned the switch again... still nothing...

I tested the power supply with another console and it works, tested the board with another power supply, but still nothing...

I figure I shorted/fried the Dang board... *PLAQUE*... I was supposed to ship this today... I am definitely sending a different console, but...

Does anyone have a replacement SCPH-5501 board I could buy or trade for? I'd rather not spend the $12 on Ebay for a whole new console when all I need is the board...

You fried it by not shoving the power cord in all the way? Dang. How does that even happen?

I dunno, that's the only thing that was different (according to my flawed memory) during that test, as stated, I had simply picked up from where I had left off the night before when the system was working perfectly

Hm... Weird. Maybe something happened to it while you were sleeping...

NINJAS.

Hope you get it fixed!
