About a year a go me and my parents were at vinnies getting rid of old stuff ,and i saw a Ps2 the dvd trays front was a bit damaged so i grabbed it i have finnaly had time to look at it and i found that a rectifier was dead http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier so i went to dicksmith got a replacement soldered it in and it works.
Total cost of repair = 2c

Smile
if you have any stuffed things like consoles,etc i might be able to fix it

Not at all an un-common issue.

I find that seeing as i mostly have older consoles in my care, i can do most of the repairs myself.

I've got 4 playstation 2's only one works, its due to stuffing dodgyness. If you knew the PS2 motherboard well enough i might get you to look at one or two of them.

Doesnt seem like he could do a lot of damage.

Most common issue with those things was a dead DVD drive.

yeah, removing solder bridges from those sort of chips isn't easy to do, let alone without cooking the chip in the process.
