Brand New PS2 Laser Not Moving at all

If the laser in your PlayStation 2 is not moving at all, despite replacing the drive deck, motor, and ribbon cable, there could be a few potential issues to check:

Power Supply to the Motor: Ensure that the motor is receiving power. You can use a multimeter to check if the motor is getting the appropriate voltage when the console is turned on.

Connections: Double-check all connections to make sure they are secure and properly seated. Sometimes loose connections can cause issues.

Motor Controller IC: There might be an issue with the motor controller IC on the motherboard. You can try replacing it if you have the necessary skills and equipment, but be cautious as this involves soldering and can be complex.

Fuse: There could be a blown fuse on the motherboard that is preventing power from reaching the motor. Check the motherboard for any visible signs of damage and use a multimeter to check the continuity of the fuses.

Board-level Components: Inspect the motherboard for any damaged or burnt components, particularly around the motor control circuitry. Replace any faulty components as needed.

Test with Known Working Parts: If possible, try testing the drive deck, motor, and ribbon cable on another working PlayStation 2 console to determine if the issue lies with the parts or the motherboard.
