I just took the cover off my ps2 (don't wanna take the whole thing apart to check everything- i'm pretty confident i installed the messiah 2 correctly as i am a computer engineer and have great soldering skills
) anyways the cable seems seated well and it is not damaged as i did a continuity check.
Checking the surface mount switches themselves, the eject button functions properly with 2 of its 4 point connections shorting to the other 2 when the button is pressed. All 4 points of the reset button however are always shorted together regardless of whether the button is pushed or not. (Consistent with my ps2 turning on in standby mode red reset+blue eject? and reset performs no function?)
I think this is the problem and this needs to be replaced as i'm assuming it should function identical to the eject button which works just fine. Anyone know a little more technical details about this or can try a continuity test on their working reset to verify how it should function? It is obviously a momentary tactile pushbutton- anyone know more? thanks 4 any 411
