I bought a neglected PS2 Slim on eBay that was listed as “parts or repair.” It had several issues, the most significant being that it couldn't play games. In this video, I dive into meticulous detail on how to thoroughly clean, repair, and service the console to make it work and look like new! I hope you find some valuable tips and tricks to help you on your retro console restoration journey!

I grabbed a bit of spare gear grease i had from an Initial D model kit and worked it back and forth. It worked perfectly after, so i just threw FreeMcBoot onto a card and went about my business.

These videos are my comfort food almost therapy. Relaxing music, professional, informative, and inspiring. I've always been into preserving and restoring my own consoles; but now I've taken to buying cheap broken consoles off Facebook Marketplace and breathing new life into them. I learn more and more with every video, and with patience and know how I've had great results. Currently picked up a super clean fat PS2 and turns out it just needs a power supply. Also your video on using a Raspberry Pi to load games onto slim PS2s is inspiring me to take one of my slims and my Pi3b so I can load games preserving my lens and collection. In fact my goal of my retro game room is focusing on original hardware that can play every game. So yeah super excited about the flippy drive for my GameCube I learned of here, as well as that new Pico to mod my original Xbox (acutually have picked up 4 Xboxes as of late and brought them all up to functional other than the optical drive, so again very excited about that project.) Please keep up the great work, I love your videos and approach to retro gaming and preservation!

Tito is a tapehead too! Should’ve guessed. What’s your main deck? Great video, these white PS2 Slim models are so sleek. Nice job on the repair, that disc reader assembly looks especially clean

Thanks! My main deck is a nakamichi dr-3. I also have a few walkmans and aiwas that I’ve restored. Repairing cassette players is a lot of fun!

@@MachoNachoProductions for sure, I’ve restored a number of CD and tape Walkman models. I’m rocking a Sony TC-K611S, it’s nice but I wish it was a dual capstan. Three motors and Dolby S though!

I work on these almost every day where I work and I like to make sure that it can read PS1, PS2 CD, PS2 Single Layer DVD, and PS2 Dual Layer DVD games. Easiest way to tell if a DVD is dual layer is it'll have two identifier barcodes in the inner most ring of the data side of the DVD.

Great restoration job! It's awesome how well a system can be brought back to life with a little elbow grease and care. Well done! That said, it hurt my OCD soul a little bit when you put the warranty sticker back on a different screw cover than what you took it off of. It doesn't make a difference, and I'm sure literally nobody else out there would care though. But I noticed! 😅

Loved this video. I have 4 ps2 slims and 1 phat because I kept buying ps2s to replace the ones that wouldn’t work(and to play Japan games). Hopefully I can follow your steps and renew some of them.

Great video as always, Tito. Parts of this video will be helpful for me, as I've been working on my PS2 fat. The DVD drive has some issues but cleaning the assembly and bars might do the trick. Otherwise, I have backup lasers if it still doesn't work. Hopefully, I can fix the grinding click issue that it currently has. Much appreciated. Keep up the great work!

Absolutely Justin! Glad you found the video helpful! Clicking cd drives is definitely a sign of a dirty track or dried up grease. I’m sure you’ll be able to fix the issue my friend! Cheers buddy!

Loved this restoration and how it went back to basically a truly pure white as it originally was. As just a quick advisory thing, it's also important to test the different disc types, or at least CDs and DVDs separately. Audio CDs, PS1 black discs (CDs), PS2 blue discs (CD PS2 games), and PS2 silver discs (DVD PS2 games). Any of them might have issues reading, and it is incredibly often that a PS2's disc drive might simply stop reading one or the other type of disc, CD or DVD.

My favorite thing about seeing KZfaqrs fix stuff is the condition these things come in. Just once I wish I could see someone restore something in truly poor condition (caked in dust, damaged shell beyond repair)

Not sure about lubricating fan bearing with a liquid oil. It may leak out later. Usually, those fans are lubricated with something more gel-like from the factory, so I would propose more thick oils.

Hope you make a video like this on the original xbox, always hated how if your disc drive breaks on the original xbox you'd need a doner drive from another xbox.

Excellent work! I would love more restoration videos like this from you. You have such great camera work and everything is lit perfectly. Id love more information on the grease you used, I have always used Lucas White Lithium grease, my knowledge on various grease types is almost non existent. Why is that DOW grease that you are using the correct grease to use?
