Since working with the power supply, it’s wise to state in writing to disconnect the AC cord, in addition to showing it disconnected as you have.

Before anything unplug your PlayStation and try the power button couple a times to turn on the PlayStation.

Just check the fuse with a multimeter. It is a cylindrical tube with metal on it’s two corners. The easy way is to check continuity with a mutimeter which is a symbol with a speaker on it. Touch red and black probes and you will hear a beep. Connect the two ends of the fuse and if it beeps then fuse is ok. You can even check it while fuse is on the board. If ok and PlayStation is not working then there is a problem somewhere else on the power board, mostly…

Good Luck!!
