Is yours fixed? I’m about to try it on mine... hopefully it works.. I want to play games on my ps2. My port 1 doesn’t work but my Port 2 does and In order for me to play games the controller port 1 has to work smhhh

@@leviackermann9669 hya , i fixed it 100% ok using a thin sliver of plastic which I inserted into the top gap, this forced the ribbon down onto the contacts, rubbish connector (!) Best way is to leave this alone until u dissemble motherboard, then you can easily disconnect the mobo connector. Also the ODD best way is to dissemble this to laser deck, then easily connect bottom ribbon connector thru laser deck, way easier. Lovely system bar these 2 fiddly connectors 😜

@@Thunder_Light207 heyyyy I just fixed mine!! Works 100%

@@Thunder_Light207 see all I did was unscrew the ps2 a reposition a couple things on the ps2 controller port and it now it works

Super Broly same

Hope that may be what I need to do, just got my PS2’s laser and AV out fixed, and hot a mod chip installed!

Justin Sison woahhh are u fr cause I was shady on trying it

​@@treezy7567 Yup, the video explained the most important things: the problem (black flex cable loose) and the solution (disassembly and repair). So I popped open the PS2, found that cable, put it back in the connector, pushed down on the connector head clasp thing to lock (you will definitely feel it), reassembled, and I was good to go. I didn't need to tape the cable down or clean it or anything. How I originally broke mine was, I accidentally pulled the flex cable out trying to fit the PS2 in a Ikea Kallax shelf with a "Better Homes and Gardens Cube Storage Shelf, H" from Walmart. Turns out the PS2 is like 3 millimeters too wide for that, but I thought I could force it in anyway. Well, because I kept the PS2 unscrewed for easier maintenance, the bottom separated, and the top shell pushed the memory cards down, and _that_ pulled the flex cable out.

OK, what these two meatheads don't tell you is that there are two screws on the underside (or top side really if the PS2 is in it's natural position) that need to come out too. You need to take the cover off the other side as well to get to these additional two screws. Once I removed them, the cover came right off.

I thougth that at first but you only need to remove six to make the bottom come off.

This comment was my last hope, the ribbon didn’t appear damaged so I just cleaned it and reinserted it properly, and whattaya know , it works 🥲

mine too, the second and first ports work if I use a fake playstation 2 controller, but when I use a real one, it does not respond in the game.

Juraj Katalinic Same problem man

+nyarlatothep666 I have the same issue as you, the model I have is the slim one, the controller port 1 work only playing nes emulator on ulaunch elf and some games, it work perfect on system config menu. I opened up the console and cleaned the fuses on-board near the controllers port and the slot solder with rubbing alcohol, i used 100% isopropyl and now works perfectly, because the dust and oxidation can cause bad contact

LucasDMX1 I hope this will help with not vibrating ds2 (under pc is ok) and 3party is ok but week vib ;/
