Absolute legend, this just fixed my gen 1 silver ps2. Underground 2 all night for me baby let’s f’n go!!!!

What model is this? 30004 or 50004?

Dude, whered you go?

I baught a PS2 of ebay that was in very nice condition, but cut scenes in games would skip a bit and music would skip in game play, I slightly bent the worm screw guide on the laser works great 😁 thank you.

Damn if only this was recorded on a better camera with better focus

I can't find a fuckin s-video cable for my Vega jr

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thanks homie, got my old ps2 workin now 👍

Here I am in 2023. Shit fucking works. Thank you my dude.

Thank you bro..😊

I was a bit concerned about putting delicate, basically irreplaceable parts in the oven so I used a hair dryer, 30 seconds at a time until the displays cleared up perfectly. If you have the tool to disassemble the VB, you can knock this out inside 30 minutes without too much hassle. That said, consensus in the VB community is that this too is a temporary fix, until the glue decoheres again. The only permanent solution is a high precision solder fix.

I like how the whole video is out of focus

You my friend are a gentleman and a scholar! I thought your method was a little bit wild but it worked!!! I had no image in my right lens and a pixelated image in the left. Now it looks brand new! Thank you!!

Your video is still helping people 13 years later. Amazing how much of a difference cleaning both lasers can make. Plus either bending the arm that makes contact with the corkscrew thing, or propping up that corkscrew with paper for those of us with consoles that have that arm made entirely of plastic, eliminates a lot of the grinding, if not all of it. Cheers! This fixed almost all of the DREs I had with CDs. Only one of them, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 for PS1, continues to not read, because the little teeth on the plastic arm in my console are almost entirely gone. Paper or bending can only do so much. Every single other CD I've tried so far reads, so this is a fantastic fix. Why did Sony think the plastic was a good idea here? Who knows. I ultimately need to replace that arm. I don't know if you can get it alone or what, but that would be the true fix for my console at this point.

Will the grinding scratch the disc

In my PS 2 the grinding noise is caused by the faulty position switch in the middle of the drive. Unfortunately I can't find the position switch anywhere as spare part. Does anyone know where I can get a new position switch as spare part? Thank you in advance.

I hear a grinding or clicking noise and all the games work but they lag and don't load in environments properly. Could this be a similar problemm?

Great job, I have the same problem my ps2 slim satin grey stays red and doesn’t want to turn green. I will try this. Thank you.

removing grease from the gear fixed mine. there was way too much.

I never liked Cave shooters. Because they are THE SAME.

My ps2 light is. stuck on red any advise?

Goated

dude love all of your videos. would be great if you did an update video on what you've been up to lately. come back video!

2022

Ummmm. Y'know. Umm. Life. Ummmm. Finds a way.

If I never saw this video I would never have a working PlayStation 2

Yo dankss was watching a bunch of your old vids bro nice nostalgia, come back someday, but if you don't hope you're doing good

I watched all of the ps2 fixing videos and yours the best. No shitty intro, no bla bla, just what can be done. Thx a lot!

Thank you Im having issues with having to load PS1 games over and over to get them to start. The ps2 games seem to load just fine but PS1 a pain to fire up

Thank you so much just fixed my ps2

It’s working now! Thanks for showing me how to fix my beloved, ancient PS2

How do you remove the top of the PS2 ? I removed all 4 rubber plugs / screws & it still doesn't want to budge. One side (Slot card) will give more than the other

Wow..wow please subtitled in Spanish .... !!!!!

As soon as you said "make sure it's unplugged before you start"...I realised I was way out of my depth already!

Dude, I haven't seen your videos in many years. Any plans on coming back to KZfaq?

Bro old ps2 battery fired how to replce

Nice video. Can this game Gunlord work with any of the unibios chips particularly the updated Unibios 4.0 An infinite health code would be nice if it's possible.👍😎👌

Thx

My ribbon cable is bent so I squeezed a string in between the plastic so the string is pulling on the cable and it works now its a slim by the way

so i love the fact theres like no bullshit to the video. I had a similar issue and it turned out the rails just needed lubrication. Camera focus is shit but this is quality

Some of these comments are from 10 years ago. I would like to know how everyone's held up with this method. I didn't have a lot of luck with mine, could never get the left display perfect. Just this week I did the solder fix and now it's great.

clean the laser lense and ever so slightly adjust the potiomiter adjuster screws... old xbox 360 had to get it done often

Some day this is gonna be on everyones recommendations....

i stopped my grinding but it still freezes while loading games

Cheers mate solved my problem mine had the problem being stuck fast on the bar from moving

after 10 year i see this video i got now the same monitor i miss this dude

So is this how to fix.the buzzing sound when you turn it on

10 years after the original video was posted, and tried this for the first time after not turning my own console on for years. The left eye was completely dead, and this fixed it in a matter of minutes. THANK YOU!!!

okay but my ps2 slim just started to do that after i turned it on for the first time in a while today and i freaked out bc i also just cleaned my ps4 today bc the ventilation was really loud... but at least i didn’t need to open my ps4 ahhh i'm scared of having to do this thank you tho this video is really helpful
