Smile Need Opinion about a burned PS2

I have a friend that tried installing a no solder chip on his PS2. He told me that when he turned it on, he pressed eject 3 times, it shut off and never turned on again. I want to buy it off of him for $30. Do you think that it can be fixed? My intentions are to get it fixed if it is not over $40. If not use it to practice soldering before I try to install a matrix infinity on my new v9 ps2. What do you guys think? I'm sure he has removed the chip to see if it worked but I havn't asked him. I know that its not currently working. Thanks.

I'd just get a new one to be honest. He may have blown the PS1 fuse, but there are a whole load of reasons as to why the console doesn't boot up. It can be a dodgy subject. Just my opinion...

I have a new PS2. I just want it to practice on this one before I mod mine. But if I can get it fixed really cheap it would be better. I want to know the possibilities of it being fried or just a fuse.

There's not much to a no-solder mod, i have never known them to burn up a console, not that it cant happen. He probably damaged the ribbon cable. if you can get it for a reasonable price i say go for it.

I have. I know of 2 in fact. Both of them where customers of mine (well became customers after they fried the PS2’s) that tried to install a no solder mod chip, both of which when they turned on the PS2 after there install blew the PS1 fuse. One guy sent in his own replacement fuse that he purchased, the other I got on my own. Not saying this is his exact problem but it might...just might be.

Where can I sell the parts. I want to see how much I can get for the parts incase I can't use it or get it fixed cheap. Im trying to get it for $20 just the console but he wants $30 for just the console.
