| I've got a SCPH-39003 PS2 and it's been through a lightning strike and no
longer turns on, I believe the quick blow fuse has gone, are they easily
obtainable?
TIA

Quick blow fuses are sold in most any hardware store, Radio Shack,
Lowes, and Home Depot. But fuses typically do not blow due to
lightning. Lightning pulse lasts but microseconds. Fuses take
milliseconds to blow. However lightning damages electronics in
microseconds. Follow through current (AC power) then encounters a
shorted device. Damaged electronics so much later (milliseconds) cause
fuse to blow.
The purpose of a fuse is human safety - so that damaged electronics
do not cause a house fire. Replacing a fuse may not eliminate why fuse
is blowing.

Thanks, found what the problem is now. The sub minature time lag fuse has
blown.
