Alternative way to turn it on?

I had to take my PS2 (The Brick one) apart to fix the eject button as it was jammed in...but i opened it and accidentley ripped the wire out that goes into the motherboard. But when i tried to put it back in the blue plastic that stops it from bending broke off, now the thing just slides out of the connector. So the two buttons on the console are broke, is there anyother way to get the console on without pressing the Reset or Eject button?

I have a swap magic tool that can open the drive for me, but that is useless if i cant get the thing to turn on.

SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST, THE BROWSER FROZE

It sounds like you are talking about the ribbon cable that connects the buttons to the motherboard, in which case soldering is probably not a good option. I would recommend either trying to repair your ribbon cable or ordering a new one.

The ribbon is held in the connector by pressure on the blue plastic shim. If you can super glue the shim back on the end of the ribbon where it was, you should be able to wedge it securely back in place in the connector.

If this isn't possible, you can order a replacement ribbon cable online; the downside to this is they are overpriced and you will have to pay shipping.
