OK, it's probably not the recomended way to check a fuse. I took the fuse that was regestering 6.5 ohms and removed it. Unplugged the laser, which I am assuming the bad pot cause the fuse to blow, or someone tried adjusting the pot to far cause they thought there laser was gone when it was a fuse. Then I soldered a peice of my 32 gauge wire between the points where the fuse was, and then reassembled the PS2. Turn it on and presto, I got a screen again. I have seen a place in England that is selling the fuses I need but at 1.5 amp, not 1.2 amp like the original. This difference I am sure will not matter but I would prefer somewhere in the US bacause shipping does not make sense for a $5 part, they are only sold in 5 packs. Also it would be handy to get the laser and fuses from the same place. There lasers where about $15 more than other places. Any suggestion are appreciated.
