{"product_id":"sony-playstation-2-fat-usb-c-power-supply-board","title":"Sony PlayStation 2 (Fat) USB-C Power Supply Board — 15V \/ 3A PSU Replacement","description":"\u003cp\u003eA modern replacement for the internal power supply in a PlayStation 2 Fat. The original module sits inside the console converting mains voltage, and after two decades of heat cycling it is a common cause of a PS2 that will not power on, or that becomes unreliable once it has been running a while. This board replaces it and runs the console from a USB-C Power Delivery charger instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower delivery has come a long way since these machines were engineered. A USB-C PD supply is smaller, cooler and far better regulated than anything available when the console was new — and when it eventually needs replacing, it is an off-the-shelf part rather than a hunt for a decades-old brick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFits The Fat PS2 — Not The Slim\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis board is made for the original full-size \u003cstrong\u003ePlayStation 2 (Fat)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the model with the power supply built in and a mains lead going straight into the back. The later \u003cstrong\u003ePS2 Slim\u003c\/strong\u003e uses an external power adapter instead, so this is not the part for that console — for a Slim, our USB-C power cable covers it with the 4.75 × 1.7 mm version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRequires A USB-C PD Charger\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board draws \u003cstrong\u003e15 V at 3 A\u003c\/strong\u003e over USB-C Power Delivery, and a charger that cannot supply that exact profile will not run the console — total wattage on the box is not the measure. On our 200 W six-port charger use \u003cstrong\u003ePD1\u003c\/strong\u003e; on the 270 W use \u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C1, C2 or C3\u003c\/strong\u003e (C4 tops out at 15 V \/ 2 A). Not sure what your charger can do?
