hi Marty
i have a 30-1172-1 proto 2 blue comet.
i bought it and it's DOA. from a seller, claims it was new in box and it looks it as well.
i have desoldered the 2 brds and found swelled caps and most of the caps are not near specs.
also the rectifier is ohming out to meg ohms.
if i were to upgrade it, i wish to go with the original 5 volt ps2.
would it be cheaper to skip the original ps2 and go to the ps3 set up?
all i want to do it get the blue comet back to where it should be right out of the box or better.
whom can i get the brds from and is it easy enough to convert back to original or ps3?
please let me know as i have it on my bench now and thinking about trying new caps and see what happens, i did de-solder the 2 brds and plan to put them back together.
please let me know
thank you for all you have done.
ron
