so i have SCPH-70012 ps2 (V.12) in other words a slimine ps2 NTSC. and i was wondering i need to know where to get a replacement power input piece which is named a DC IN 8.5V it must be soldered to the motherboard but i can do that i just need the piece!!! i have tried ps2parts.com and richspsxparts.com aswell as ultimate.partsearch.com and cant find it... what i think i am looking for is a place that strips down the motherboard and sells the pieces but i would like to hear from anyone who has an idea. i have also looked into buying another non-working motherboard and replacing it. but on ebay thery are arond $50.00 and this is only a $3-$4 piece or if anyone has a defective ps2 that they will sell to me for cheap i will buy it happily (as long as it is not a power problem).
