Greetings,

I have a v10, DMS4 Pro. I finished the mod job and tried to turn the PS2 on and got NOTHING: no red light, no green light, no blue light. I checked the fuses for both continuity and resistance and the following fuses are blown:

PS1, 3, 5, 7 (7.25 M ohms), 11 (3.78 M ohms), 12, 13, and 15. All show NO continuity; the two fuses noted show some resistance (not infinity).

I've read about a symptom in previous posts where a VIA solder bridge was accidentally made and various fuses were blown (especially PS1). Therefore I'm almost positive I bridged points P,T, U and W together at the VIA region, even though I inspected them with a magnifying glass. Is it possible to have blown 8 fuses because of a VIA bridge?

I've checked all points and all show positive for continuity (no BIOS bridges). Any suggestions besides redoing the VIA's? Anyone have any fuses to sell me?

Thanks,

ToolNila

if all those fuses are on the same node then yes it could be possible that you blew all of them.

Thanks for the info. Just out of curiousity, what's a node? I Googled "fuse node" and got a lot of results, but didn't understand any of them.

Is it like a link in series?

Thanks,
