l3ushwig #1 Posted June 28, 2005 Ok so i was testing out some games i tested about 30 then was going on to the next and nothing happend...... i think its the power switch... Anyone know what else it may be? PLEASE HELP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sku_u #2 Posted June 28, 2005 How about being more specific about what happened? It also helps to specify 2 port or 4 port. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
l3ushwig #3 Posted June 28, 2005 Ok... I was testing out games I went through about 30 or so and I shut it off normally to switch games I put the other game in and pressed the power button and nothing came on the screen it was just the normal black and white fuzz. My 5200 is a 2 port. I think it may be the power button seeing how I was pushing it on and off, I am not sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sku_u #4 Posted June 28, 2005 What game was it? Was it just this game, or everything that is giving you this problem? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a voltmeter you can test the suspect one too. Mitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had to replace several of them in the past. Mitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
l3ushwig #10 Posted June 28, 2005 Is there any special way to open them up? And Is the fuse a common one to? Thanks -l3ushwig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elliott #11 Posted June 28, 2005 Just a common glass fuse that is soldered in. I don't remember the value off the top of my head, but I think it is pretty common. The only way I was able to get into my power supply was with a hammer. Also DO NOT just replace the fuse with a jumper, it is ok to test one like that, but remember the fuse is there for a reason.

+Mitch #12 Posted June 28, 2005 One of the 5200 power supply models has screws the other is glued shut. If you have a glued one you will probably have to use a hammer. When I opened one like that I put the power supply on it's side between a couple of old 2x4s and hit the 2x4. That way you won't damage the case as badly.

l3ushwig #13 Posted June 28, 2005 Yeah it took me a hammer a screwdriver. Then when I was done seeing how I messed the case up so bad I used a solder iron to melt it back together. On the next one I do ill have to be more careful. Thanks for you help Mitch and Elliott l3ushwig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
