In this video, I take a look at a PS2 memory card which is not detected by the PS2 console.

Thanks! Freaking Great Video right to the point I saw this with a memory card that I had from buying a ps2 from a lady for $15 about 2 years ago and all I had to do was put it back in place just from watching your video the ps2 sadly doesn’t work with disc they had a lot of Free McBoot stuff on the memory and the hard drive

There are 2 pins that look to be about 1.5mm tall that hold the bottom of the PCB. It's almost like it's made to intentionally break over time imo

Worked for me! Was able to get both of mine working after being in-storage for 10yrs

Thanks! The plastic brace for my chip was worn down just enough to hold its position for reassembly, but not enough to withstand being plugged in. It's bizarre your chip had no support at all. I wonder how many functioning cards have been tossed in the trash because of this...

No problem, glad I could help. I agree it's weird, no idea how it ever worked at all :/

I found a temporary fix, I think how the memory card stops the pcb from moving. There is a plastic bit jutting out on the bottom shell. You can temporarily fix it by holding hard on the memory card in the position it should be and putting the screws back in. Im just guessing but I think this is the reason why the other one is loose the screws are not fully down compared to the other one. Which is why the plastic bit on the bottom plate doesn't hold it. Also the loose one shells aren't flush like the other. 0:39

Interesting, might have to take a look at that. I was really confused, as there didn't seem to be anything snapped off or missing, so maybe you're right.

Hi, is it an official memory card? Some games have issues with third party memory cards

Is there any corrupt data on the memory card?

If your console is modded, you could give Memory Card Annihilator a go - it lets you fully format the memory card, which the console itself doesn't let you do. It would effectively reset the card as if it were brand new. Though be aware, it could kill the card completely, especially if there's a hardware issue developing already.

Tomb Raider? This memory card likely belonged to Melanie Mac 😶

I noticed my official PS1 memory card has this same issue, I'll try to find something to hold the board in place.

@qubitstech 9 ай бұрын

That's interesting to hear, still confused how this even happened in the first place as I couldn't find anything broken inside. Hope you manage to get yours fixed.

@@qubitstech thank you. I haven't fixed it yet, it's a weird fault. before you repaired it, did the board in your memory card rattle when you shook it?

@qubitstech 9 ай бұрын

No, there was no rattle. I only noticed what was happening as it felt loose when plugging it in. If you can't find anything suitable, it's not ideal but you could plug the card in without the case, you just need to line it up with the connector inside the port.

@@qubitstech interesting, my PS1 also feels loose when it's plugged in. I might have multiple issues with mine.
