You're welcome, Xavier. Thank you for the positive feedback. :D

you know good games!

My pleasure again. 😅

You are too kind, man. I know my voice sucks, but I appreciate the feedback. I'm glad I could be of help to you. ^_^

​@@Vigerpare you Tom or a different person?

MarvelGeek117 Thanks, man. Best of luck. Just be careful around the lense, and ribbons. Don't try to use excessive force, and you'll do good. :)

You're welcome. Thank you for checking it out. Enjoy your console! :D

I found mine today lol

You're welcome. Thank you. :)

+nekrosante nabu Well, the problem with that is that a lot of times you'll find bugs and insect poop in old consoles. Things you really don't want in your dishwasher. :p

A little rust will typically not make any difference, as long as it is not across a trace on the board. However, if you are a perfectionist and don't like seeing rust, there are a couple of ways to remove it. You could use place the metal piece in vinegar, and it would eat through the rust. But this is ONLY if the piece of metal is NOT attached to any electronics, as the vinegar would eat through that as well. Another solution is to simply use some sand paper or a file and manually file the rust off. This would leave behind scratches, though. So, a lot of times, it is just easier to leave a little rust spot be, as it really does not hurt your console.

Same problem

I had the same problem their is a metal Square holding the board in place

De nada! :D

It sounds like you're saying that the disc reader is scratching the disc? If so, then yes, something is definitely in the way. Most likely it is a hard spec of dust that is trapped there, thus causing the scratches.

Did it make a buzzing noise before, as well? It could be that the fan blades are bent out of shape. This would cause them to spin irregularly, regardless of how clean they are. The only way to fix it would be to buy a new fan assembly, then.

I'm selftaught. I just reached a point where curiosity got the best of me, and I had to know how it all worked.

You're very welcome. I hope it was helpful to you. :D

He's MY boyfriend. Back off bro!

You know what... I honestly don't know. I mean, a very small and strong elastic band *might* work, but it wouldn't be a long term solution. The spring is similar to many other lid springs used by Sony, so you might find a broken console somewhere for real cheap. I did try to find just the spring for you on eBay, but I was unsuccessful. The only thing I could find was the entire lid assembly. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F401875351053

@@Vigerp dude no lie, I literally found the spring just now holy crap lol. I'm currently trying to put it back in place. Thanks for your help though.

You mean the little feet? They should be super easy, but every now and then there's one that simply refuses to come out. It sounds like you got all of them...

You're welcome. Thank you so much for checking out my video. :D

Thank you for watching it. :)

You're welcome. :)

+KABAYONG DONKEY It sounds to me that you either have put the tiny circuit board with the power switch the wrong way - or that maybe the ribbon cable from the power switch to the main board has come loose.

If you can't remove a screw, you shouldn't be attempting to take apart your PS2...

@@jphizack9729 Well there was two screws that I could remove but at the end I open half and clean off what I can see and it work This PS2 recently bought it a flee market myb they were glue that's what I'm thinking because I had right screw but only two I could not remove

It is very possible. It could also be soda or something else. Sometimes the screws give me all kinds of hell, as well.

Absolutely! :)

Vigerp Thanks, it now reads gta san Andreas a lot better! Do you think using an hairdryer to blow in the fan instead of a compressed air can would work too?

Yes and no. If you take the console apart, then go for it. Keep in mind that the whole point of a fan is to channel hot air *away* from the CPU and GPU. So if you blow hot air into your console, you risk damaging it. If your blowdryer has a cold air setting, then go for it.

Overheating is typically a sign of three things. Either the console sits on something that won't allow good enough ventilation through the fan vents (like sitting on a soft carpet, a pillow, or being enclosed in a cupboard with the door closed). It could also be a sign that the thermal paste has cracked, making a bad heat transfer to the heatsinks. Lastly, it could be as simple as dust blocking the fan and the fan vents, which causes hot air to build up inside the console.

Vigerp thanks mate you're video really helpful

You're welcome. :)

Hey. Sorry that it took me a while to respond, but I have been very busy lately. Have you tried a different game? It sounds more like a problem with the disc than with the console. If the menu loads, then that means that the console is working and reading the disc up to that point. However, you could always try to clean the disc reader lens a bit more with a q-tip and some isopropyl alcohol. Just be careful not to use any force that could scratch the lens.

@@Vigerp Thanks for the reply, and no worries :) Well the game was working before I cleaned my PS2 (the only problem is it didn't load properly, like it would load half the map and you'd have to drive into the other half then the game would freeze and unfreeze when it loaded that chunk aswell) , although every other game seems to work fine, also the music on the menu is gone, I tried cleaning my CD and I also cleaned the reading lens when cleaning my PS, not gonna lie the game is badly scratched but it worked before, why not now?

@@Devuuse I think, from the sound of things, that it is the disc. It most likely would've decided to stop working regardless if you had cleaned your console or not. Do you have a friend or another console you can try the game on? With matters like these the best thing to do is to try to eliminate possible issues. The quickest would be to try the same game on a different console to see if you get the same result.

@@Vigerp Unfortunately no other PS2 is nearby, I also noticed that another game that was working perfectly with minor scratches is no longer playing, I'll try cleaning the disc reader again and cleaning the CDs also, I'm just glad my PS2 is fine I wouldn't kill it for the world. Thanks for the video buddy, you got another sub :))

Thank you so much. The only other advice I could give is to open it up again, and double check all the cables connected to the disc drive. Make sure that all the ribbon cables, especially, are pushed all the way into their connectors, and that they are properly locked in place. It is obviously connected to either the discs or the disc drive.

It depends on how bad and deep the scratches are, but there are several ways to go about doing this. I made a video detailing one method, but it covers clear acrylic. I am guessing your scratches are located on the hard plastic?

the previous owner of my ps2 treated it very badly and has many scratches on the top of the console, the scratches are not so deep because they do not feel to the touch but they are up close and I would like to solve it. I tried to clean it with alcohol but it does not work

For deep scratches you could try to use a clear epoxy mixed with black paint. There are a couple of potential problems with this method, though. 1. You have to work fast, since the epoxy usually hardens quickly (unless you buy one that hardens in a longer time). 2. It can be difficult to match the color of the console exactly. You might end up with a slight color spot where the crack used to be. Basically. You need to fill the crack with something, and match the color of the console. Then sand it down flush.

I will try that thank you very much men

man*

Both versions have pros and cons. The slim tends to be the most popular due to the smaller size, but personally I prefer the fat. Mostly for sentimental reasons, as that was the first console I bought with my own money. However, when buying a Fat, you should try to find out which model it is first. The earlier models did have some issues with the laser, so look for the 3 or 5 series. If you are interested (and live in the US), I actually have spares of both systems (slim and fat). I'll give you a good deal. :)

New ribbon cable.

Or just crease it to prevent it from forming a curve

Any cleaning done is a step in the right direction. And, the more comfortable you become over time, the deeper you go. Best of luck to you. :)

Thanks👍👍👍

@@Vigerp same for anal sex?

@@Alexander_l322 LMAO

Is your PS2's fan full of dust ? or maybe there isn't the thermal paste thing on some chips

@@fotia7139 yeah it was dusty😂

@@Alan-yw8dt i think it's due the thermal paste missing

@@Alan-yw8dt maybe put thermal paste on the chips which need it

frustik CZ Thanks, man. And thanks for the subscribe, as well. Much appreciated.

no problem :D

Yes, when dirt gathers on the fan blades, they become unbalanced and start to create a noise. Same as with a ceiling fan. :)

Vigerp thanks for the reply will definantly try it and get it out.

You're welcome. Best of luck to you. You can do this. :D

Slim it says in the title

Slim 70k model, i have the same one

They made several different models, each looks different on the inside. However, the same principle applies to all of them. As for the bottom, it could be stuck by grime, rust or something else. Good rule of thumb; if it feels like it won't budge, just leave it and try to clean as much as you can from there.
