  • In this episode I restore a Playstation 2 (PS2) slim which I got for $7 as part of a junk lot of consoles. Low end price for working device is typically around $50. Black consoles can be cheaper because there are more of them available. As a bonus I got a free game, DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi, it's quite common game and even in good condition not very valuable. But it's a nice addition to my collection, here is a link to my video of repairing the disc: • Repair & restoration o...
    I started the restoration by testing the console. I was able to power it on. I think it wasn't supposed to work but the descriptions for these consoles are quite often inaccurate. However it was not reading games.
    After opening the console I tried to see if I could repair the disc drive. The Playstation 2 disc drive is known for breaking quite easily. The laser just stops working. I decided to replace the whole disc drive. Only the laser part can also be changed. After replacing the laser I still had to do a little adjusting on the screws I show on the video.
    After replacing the drive I continued to disassemble the console. I cleaned everything with compressed air, soapy water and isopropyl alcohol and removed a little yellowing with UV-light and hydrogen peroxide. Tutorial to the process here: • How to remove yellowin...
    The original model sticker was in bad condition so I copied it in photoshop and printed a new one.

    Ah PS2 the best of my teenage years. A huge game changer for PlayStation, loved playing Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty on it.

The powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, as well as the compact size, make it perfect for maintaining a spotless environment. Plus, the added features like high-quality filters and swift keyboard cleaning are really handy. Definitely recommend checking it out!

  • @caprenterturtle6213
    @caprenterturtle6213 2 года назад +58

    Note for cleaning fans with compressed air: it's recommended to hold the blades while you blow them off, as letting them spin too fast can damage them. They're not designed to have that much air go through them, usually it's more of a gentle breeze. If a huge gust of wind pushes it too fast, it can mess up some of the internals. Maybe not immediately but it may shorten its life. Source: work on PCs, learned it in C.I.S class in highschool

    I literally said to myself as he turned on the console “he’s gonna get a red screen of death and I just know it.”
    I wasn’t wrong. This is gonna be satisfying.

    The best part of this aside from how clean the ps2 gets is the new label being an exact replica as the old down to the SKU! Nuts! I'm using your two year video for inspiration as I'm currently restoring a ceramic white CECH-2500B using similar methods. I just don't have the ability to print labels and haven't been able to source white ones either.
