Where did you get your ribbon?

does the PS2 power up at all?
The ribbon should just have to do with ejecting the tray, or turning it on from standby mode, also from on to standby mode.

do the lights on the power/eject buttons light up when you plugged in the new ribbon?

I cant help you out with this one cause I blew up the fuses of three ps2s that I had and never did nothing! I bought me new ps2 and started a new life with it! LOL! I have the other 3 still! The lasers of all three are fine but I need the fuses! I guess im gonna sell the lasers on ebay!

Well like I told you, I didnt want to mess with my other PS2s, so I dont kno if there is another way to fix it! I guess you can replace the fuses but I dont kno where you can get em at! And I was just telling you to buy another PS2 because if you fix this broken one I know you gon have more problems with it like in the next 10 days you have fixed it! So Like I told you get a new ps2 and if you can ($$$$$) install a Flip Top or get the new slimline pstwo! That way you can clean the lens without taking the risk of opening the ps2! And never open the ps2 (if you are getting a new one)LOL! That is called Experience!LOL!

Highly doubt you blew a fuse. A ps2 can be totally disassembled in less than 5 minutes. And that is the best way to plug the ribbon back in.
