Holy jesus, that's an insane repair job. No fake setups, straight to the point and ok treatment on the rusted parts.

Very good video, unfortunately though I think you broke the CR2032 battery connector. I think those 2 little metal tabs on the top snapped off when you put in the new battery, I noticed the orbs in the main menu staying still, which means the battery is dead, or not put in correctly.

This is like one of those fake repair videos, except it's real. Excellent work.

I just found super rusty ps2 on the side of the road and thats the 1st video that came up after searching "ps2 rusted to hell and back" lol.

Hi Re:Mark, nice job! I saw you remove the faulty capacitor, but did you replace it with a new one or left it without?

I have this exact same board with no signal issue. The red led turns to green and behaves just fine. The lens assembly moves up and down to read discs just fine. Theres just no display. no audio. no video. All the fuses are fine and no short cap. Dont know how to proceed any further.

i just scored one for $25 shipped. Same issue does not turn on. The warranty sticker is still present so i have high hopes for it

Hello! I need help with my fat ps2. It was working perfectly well last year. Now it has these problems.

Great video i subscribed!

Hello remark I need help on fixing my ps2 slim 79001 when I first received it I connected it and the red standby light would light up, but I couldn’t get it to turn green. I played around with it and then got it to turn green. I noticed that when the power switch power cable was moved a bit the light would turn off and on. Long story short, I messed around with the power ribbon cable and then it didn’t want to turn on anymore. I ordered a brand new cable and connected it and my ps2 doesn’t even show the red standby light. I also tried troubleshooting like you did here with a multimeter but for some reason I’m not getting the same values as when you removed the short, I feel it can be the power port of the ps2, but doesn’t look broken or loose. If you can please help me out idk what else to check. Thank you. Also if you could point me out how to troubleshoot some more with a multimeter gratenpakhuis be awesome.
