Playstation 2 DEAD from cat urine

[Amelia M. Samples]

True - the board I rescued was completely disconnected...my new kitty
decided to use the case for his catbox...(after I had him fixed that little
problem went away)

If
it's been powered up with the deposits though, you're probably SOL.

The thing is it may have been, even when it's off. The PS-2 has a
stand-by
mode it goes into when you turn it "off" using the front panel controls on
the
right front corner of the console. To turn it off completely, you have to
flip
a toggle switch on the back corner of the console. Plus, the system does
have
internal settings and a clock that are sustained using a CR2032 lithium
cell.
It's more likely that the pee would hit the power supply because the board
is
located above the vent openings with exception of the rear exhaust fan. -
