Boards are on their way, good luck once you get them, @Customledmods !

West Virginia, USA. It's boring here.

I've found that they do require a specific type of charger. Either a fast charger or super fast charger, as some cheap chargers, or ones that just provide basic charge don't seem to work. I have these specific chargers, and can confirm that they work very well: - UGREEN 65W USB C Charger Block...

Update on this original topic: Since the two boards have been sitting around, and I've been unable to fix them myself due to inexperience, I will be boxing them both up, and shipping both boards out to @Customledmods to have a look into repairing them. Maybe they'll have better luck than I...

I should have you send me over a set of those, FBD. lol. It would be neat to tinker around with those broken boards with those.

I would also say to try using Rufus to format the SD cards, cause I've not had luck with formatting some cards and getting them to show up on the PS2 until I used Rufus to format them. I was able to get a Lexar 1TB, Samsung 512TB, and a SanDisk 32GB MicroSD card to work using this method.

No worries, one of us has to learn so that others know what not to do in the future! I'm also trying to teach myself how to use blender so that I can do the model editing myself to add my logos to it for when I order the new shell. Definitely a bit of a learning experience, and a lot to...

-- So... update on my own build.. So yes, resin is very VERY fragile, and I found that out the hard way when trying to put heat inserts into the shell. Thing just literally crumbled apart under the heat like a saltine cracker, and poof, no more screw holes.. So I'm probably gonna just order a...

Since i'm actually fairly new to soldering, and working on electronics, it's not something I'm ACTIVELY working on as it's more of a side project since I already have the two boards, but once I pick it back up, I will gladly post here if I find out anything.

I got tired of the stock squishy disc tray switch. I absolutely couldn't stand how that felt when turning the PS2 on. So I decided to use some clicky buttons I had ordered previously for the power button. They were slightly too big, but I got it working! Had to shave down the plastic power...

Yeah, the entire issue was it just didn't like the way I formatted the cards, I guess. Cause once I formatted the SD Cards using the Rufus application, it worked immediately with no issues. And i even tried it with the Lexar, Samsung, and even a SanDisk card using this method, and every one of...

The shell is made to fit the one from Mouser. However, when I looked for other options, I've not been able to find one the exact size. The size listed on Mouser is 10 x 2.5 x 6.4 mm. Closest thing I could find on Amazon is 8 x 4 x 10m So it won't fit, but i'm sure you could 'make' it fit one...

Woke up, and still no luck with the PS2. Did a bit of searching, and saw that someone had some luck with a similar issue formatting the SD card with an application called Rufus. Downloaded Rufus. https://rufus.ie/en/ Used these settings: Loaded the SD Card up with games. And FINALLY we...

Hey, if anything, my constant updates on my own woes of making my PS2 Ultra Slim on this thread could end up helping someone else out. I know I've been through all 17 pages of this thread multiple times to find out information. Update 1 on the SD Cards: ------ Tried to use the 1TB Lexar PLAY...

So, after thinking more about what @FatBaldDad said, I feel like I've been looking at this whole thing all wrong, and treating the SD card as if it were a HDD. What I WAS doing before, was formatting the SD Card using WinHIIP, and using RAWCopy to copy my PS2 Fat HDD to it. I had also tried at...

Yeah, I did. I didn't THINK it was, but I've been kind of just trying everything. lol.

I should be a bit more clear. I'm currently booting into FMB using a memory card. I have not been able to see the MicroSD Card at all to be able to get it to boot from it. I did format the MicroSD card using Windows, then formatted it with a PS2 MBR using WinHIIP. I did try your suggestions...

Update on my own Ultra Slim: PS2 Boots Up, but does not detect the Micro SD card. Tried it originally with a SanDisk Adapter, and a 1TB Lexar Micro SD Card. (Does not detect.) Then, thought it could just be because I wasn't using Samsung. So, because I'm impatient, I went out to Best Buy and...

I've checked a bunch of them, which most show as 0.00, showing a connection is fine. Though, some don't, and seems to be the same on both boards. For example: Though, I'm not sure specifically WHICH ones are fuses...

Figured I would post this here, as I can't figure out what's wrong with both of these boards. I bought them both from eBay as "Parts Only/Not Working", which is fine. I've checked multiple ports with a multimeter, and I cannot seem to figure out where the issue is. I figured i could post the...
