Power, but cd tray won't open/ no picture/ no controller

If you turn your console on and find that the fan spins, but no lights come on and no picture is displayed, and/ or the cd tray won't open, or your control ports won't work, the chances are that a surface mounted fuse has blown.

I must warn you that replacing a surface mounted fuse should only be attempted if you are experienced with a soldering iron, if not then I suggest you find someone who is, to do this for you.

Check all surface mounted fuses with a multi-meter or continuity tester. They should conduct and have a resistance of zero, if not then the faulty fuse should be replaced with a fuse of the same value.

The following pictures do not belong to me, and are used here only to illustrate the surface mounted fuse positions
