I have a V7(SCPH-39001) PS2. I installed the PnP-Key I got, reassembled the PS2, powered it on without a disc in, and everything went fine.
The menu showed up, I had video and sound.
But when I hit the eject button to put in my disc, I lost audio, video, and the system powered off , the buttons were un responsive (no lights either) and there was a slight humming sound coming from the fan/back area.
How can I fix this? What did I destroy?
Thanks for the help

This is just a hunch, have a look at the reset/eject cable. I'm assuming that maybe when you put the unit back together you pierced the ribbon with a screw or it may not have been installed correctly. I'm assuming this because you didnt see any issues until you hit the eject button. Also check all your fuses on the motherboard, they are labeled PS1, PS2 ... so on and so on all the way to PS15/16 depending on your version.

The Power/Reset ribbon looks fine. Once I get my hands on a multimeter i will check the fuses
Thanks for help so far

No soldering mod-chip, you unplug 2 ribbon cables from the board, and put them into the mod-chip which is then plugged back into the board.
It is used with Swap Magic to play backups and imports

From the link you posted, it says that it works only with V5/V6 PS2's, but a 39001 is a V7. Could that be your problem?

good observation, but i just grabbed the first picture i could find for an example.
The chip I have works on V5-V7, so it installs the same way.
And came with the correct instructions.

It has been some time since I have dealt with the PNP chips. I do know for a fact though that they are notorious for blowing fuses. I have repaired many bad PNP installs in the past. PS1 is most likely your culprit.
Get back to us and let us know what you find.
I would also suggest that if and when you get this repaired to go with a real modchip like the MI or CC. Swapping discs is out dated technology. We have been in the age of no-swap modchips for many years now.

You were right, it was fuse PS1.
Now, what would be the best way to go about fixing this situation?

You can replace the fuse, which would be best, or you can solder a wire on it to bypass, but I wouldn't recommend it. Just to make sure it's just the fuse, you could remove the PnP, jump the fuse with a wire, and see if the system works.
I have some junk systems lying around - I'll check and see if I could pull a fuse off one of them for you.
