not turning on after teardown

History

Hi i fix consoles all the time, recently I tore a playstation slim down to the board in preparation to replace the USB ports because they didn't work. I did nothing else to it until the customer said they wanted to come pick it back up. After i put everything back together, it doesnt turn on at all. no LED lights on power button board. Multimeter shows PSU works, tried a few other PSU and ribbon cables, there is no response.

Are you sure the USB ports aren't shorted after you replaced them? Slims are a huge pain in my side right now. They are just so random on their problems. Fats were so much easier to diagnose.

I haven't replaced them yet. I was unable to desolder the USBs from the donor board. I could not get the board to accept my solder or anything. Is there some trick I'm missing? The only thing I did to the board not powering on now is tear it down and out it back together, which I've done to lots of other machines. I see no damage to the board and quadruple check everything. And I agree with you on the fats!! Lol

Alex,

Flux and leaded solder is the trick. Introduce leaded solder to the unleaded solder and it will be easier to work with. Apply flux to the solder points and that will also make it easier.
