David,
I have had the controller port fail before. Symptom is the unit appears to
function OK but does not respond to any contoller plugged into either port.
You can get the controller port and a lot of other info at:

Subject: [TechAssist] Sony PS2 - Controller Port - No Activity
Any PS2 technicians out there? I don't do a lot of PS2 repairs and I
could sure use some advise. I need information pertaining to PS2 port
failure (nadaa - nothing - dead). System boots, game loads, and then no
controller functions work. Model is SHCP30001 (V4). I checked ALL the
mainboard fuses and found PS9 "open". It feeds a surface mount 5-volt
regulator which feeds the port controller via a ribbon cable. I put my
ammeter across the fuse, this brought the regulator back (outputting
5-volts to the controller port) however there still remains no port
activity.
Question: Should I see the LED on the controller light up as soon as the
PS2 is powered on? Is it possible the port fried causing fuse PS9 to
open? Has anyone seen this kind of problem before? Any and ALL comments
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
David.
