Re: Sony Phat PlayStation PS2 power supply repair

Thank you for the info. I replaced C3 with a 33uF 65V electrolytic from my junk bin. The PS2 is alive again. This cap is quite a bit larger in size than the original. I didn't test the isolator, but it appears to be working OK.

I managed to mangle the FPC connector to the fron panel with the memory cards and controller connections. I was lucky that some electrical tape appears to have secured the ribbon cable enough to make it work.
