I have a Playstation 2 that shows no sign of life when connected to a good PSU.
SKU: SCPH-7000x
Mobo: GH-035-11
CMOS battery is dead, not sure if important.
I checked the fuses and thermistors, PS0001 & PS0014 have no continuity.
PS0001 (500mA 36V 0603) is between 8.5v and IC4304 Vin + the power board.
PS0014 (2A 72V 1210) is where modbo 750 gets 3.3v. (IC4300 Vout)
Assuming the fuses did their job and the the IC's behind them are good.
I am considering bridging where the fuses are to see if the IC's down the line provide their power output.
My reasoning is that if everything else is still good the fuses would act as conductors anyways.
Is that a smart idea?
I'm aware there is MechaCon/UART and PMAP for diagnosis and although i have not yet looked into this deeper i believe this would require at least 3.3v?
I can get replacement fuses from mouser but i want to be certain they're the only parts i need.
If something else is amiss they will just blow anyways.

Any insight is appreciated, thanks.
It's been in storage for quite some time, at least 15 years.
I remember trying to install a a modbo 750, and later a DMS4 EZI or vice versa which caused the defect.
Never got either modchip to work back then, still have them but not sure if they're worth installing nowadays.
The unit had not seen much use and was working before i messed up the modchip install.
If my memory is right GTA: San Andreas savedata must be near 100% completion.
