John.
I agree with you. Repairing PS2 cards is a mystery.
I believe the best solution is to go directly to PS3 .
On the other hand, I have 03 sets of PS2 that for me, is of no use at all.
I can send them to you at no cost. Tell me your address, pls.
I have a doubt. If I replace a PS2 board to a PS3 board will be necessary to do some hardware alterations?
My Allegheny loco is 3v.
I think the best way to talking about this subject It would be through email.
