Don't wanna destroy that 15+ year old warranty
I started playing through Rogue Galaxy again, and the game would pause when opening up the main menu, opening up shops, sometimes even the music would just cut out for several seconds while the game was trying to load up an NPCs text! I followed your video to open up and clean the PS2 (except for disassembling the top part), put it back together, and the game is running so smoothly
You're welcome, Xavier. Thank you for the positive feedback. :D
you know good games!
This video was instrumental in helping me disassemble, restore and put my PS2 back together. Thank you!
My pleasure again. 😅
You have been a huge help bro, this is the best PS2 Slim teardown on RUclips with with clear voice.
You are too kind, man. I know my voice sucks, but I appreciate the feedback. I'm glad I could be of help to you. ^_^
@@Vigerpare you Tom or a different person?
Great video I have a 79003 model the interior is different the fan is closer to the back with heatsink at the front
i cant take off the bottom part of the motherboard it seems like eventhough i took off the screw at 5:00 its controller port as well as other ports are stuck at the holes so i cant take it off pls help lol
Same problem
I had the same problem their is a metal Square holding the board in place
Mannn I just founds mines again,thanks for this video bro
You're welcome. Thank you for checking it out. Enjoy your console! :D
I found mine today lol
Thank you for showing the spring on the lid.
my ps2 slim has a bit of rust near the bottom right on some of the metal bit
A little rust will typically not make any difference, as long as it is not across a trace on the board. However, if you are a perfectionist and don't like seeing rust, there are a couple of ways to remove it. You could use place the metal piece in vinegar, and it would eat through the rust. But this is ONLY if the piece of metal is NOT attached to any electronics, as the vinegar would eat through that as well. Another solution is to simply use some sand paper or a file and manually file the rust off. This would leave behind scratches, though. So, a lot of times, it is just easier to leave a little rust spot be, as it really does not hurt your console.
I own the model where the bottom half of the slim is covered with that black smooth cover.
Am I the only one who is having problems taking out the plastic squares?
You mean the little feet?
They should be super easy, but every now and then there's one that simply refuses to come out. It sounds like you got all of them...
My questions brother..
1) its ps2 7000 model?
2)than this model lag or any heating issues?
Thanks for the video, and i'm looking into putting a PS2 slim and an Xbox 360 into a pc, and I'm wondering if there there seems to be any easy way to mount the PS2 board to the pc tower.
You need to remove the main pcb completely to clean dust out and inspect the thermal pads. And you need to remove the fan and disk drive assembly to clean all dust out. And you need to clean and re-lubricate the disk drive rails.
nor if you only have a screwdriver and q-tips but ok buddy
Hello from Spain!
Good video man! i think that the best way to deep clen is wasp whith a Karcher machine, only in a plastic or springs parts, and quickly dryed at summer sun or hair dryer. remove all the dust and others materials.
Another way is to put the plastics in the dishwasher.XD
+nekrosante nabu Well, the problem with that is that a lot of times you'll find bugs and insect poop in old consoles. Things you really don't want in your dishwasher. :p
My ps2 slim is reading the ps1 games but not the ps2 games. Dose it need to be cleaned?
Do I have remove all of the plastic parts to clean the whole thing? I can see the dust in the p2 port
I have ps2 slim but i gotta clean it i see dust in side
I tried fixing it i put every screw in its right spot and the rest together i spent hours trying to find out why it wasn’t turning on that the tiny piece to turn the console on broke
My model was the 70011
Thanks for posting this! I think I have this exact same model. I will clean it out in a couple of days. :D
MarvelGeek117 Thanks, man. Best of luck. Just be careful around the lense, and ribbons. Don't try to use excessive force, and you'll do good. :)
I just opened my ps2 slim and i notice that a rectangle washer looking metal with a hole on the middle fell out as i opened the top portion. I have no idea where this washer looking thing goes. Mine is a ps2 slim 70012
I own a ps2 slim Scph 77001
Im just going to open it and clean what I can clean. Cause it is a bit scary bro
Any cleaning done is a step in the right direction. And, the more comfortable you become over time, the deeper you go. Best of luck to you. :)
Thanks👍👍👍
@@Vigerp same for anal sex?
@@Alexander_l322 LMAO
Question how you remove the screws ,I'm starting give up I try every tip
If you can't remove a screw, you shouldn't be attempting to take apart your PS2...
@@jphizack9729
Well there was two screws that I could remove but at the end I open half and clean off what I can see and it work
This PS2 recently bought it a flee market myb they were glue that's what I'm thinking because I had right screw but only two I could not remove
It is very possible. It could also be soda or something else. Sometimes the screws give me all kinds of hell, as well.
This is a easy project to do and it is fun to take apart
So would it be pointless for me to get a slim should i just stick with getting a fat model?
Both versions have pros and cons. The slim tends to be the most popular due to the smaller size, but personally I prefer the fat. Mostly for sentimental reasons, as that was the first console I bought with my own money. However, when buying a Fat, you should try to find out which model it is first. The earlier models did have some issues with the laser, so look for the 3 or 5 series. If you are interested (and live in the US), I actually have spares of both systems (slim and fat). I'll give you a good deal. :)
Helpful video but I have a question. I fumbled around and lost the spring you pointed to at 27:40. Would a really short elastic piece help or do I somehow have to buy a small spring somewhere?
You know what... I honestly don't know. I mean, a very small and strong elastic band *might* work, but it wouldn't be a long term solution. The spring is similar to many other lid springs used by Sony, so you might find a broken console somewhere for real cheap. I did try to find just the spring for you on eBay, but I was unsuccessful. The only thing I could find was the entire lid assembly. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F401875351053
@@Vigerp dude no lie, I literally found the spring just now holy crap lol. I'm currently trying to put it back in place. Thanks for your help though.
What is that part that stops the disc from spinning it looks like a cloth or rubber pad
It was very good tutorial video. If your controller ports for ps2 slim works but other model not this one as there are only 2 models anyway I think, but if your memory card slots doesnt function is it because you have to replace something? If it that, what you need to replace from your board so the memory card slots work again? in my case its both memory card slots that doesn't work
Mine looks different in the inside and I can’t get the fucking whole assembly out of the bottom part.
They made several different models, each looks different on the inside. However, the same principle applies to all of them. As for the bottom, it could be stuck by grime, rust or something else. Good rule of thumb; if it feels like it won't budge, just leave it and try to clean as much as you can from there.
Is the black strip on the top removable that is by the lid? That area is so easily scratched i want to replace it by I'm not sure how it is attached.
This video was very helpful, Thank you
You're welcome. Thank you. :)
thank you man I love you so much 😘😘😘
You're very welcome. I hope it was helpful to you. :D
He's MY boyfriend. Back off bro!
Hello is it normal for the fan to spin in standby mode(red light)
For some reason the reset/power button came straight off now I can't put it back anyone know how to put it back?
I have done everything you did in this video but when I turn it on it starts to make a buzzing noise, what can I do?
Did it make a buzzing noise before, as well? It could be that the fan blades are bent out of shape. This would cause them to spin irregularly, regardless of how clean they are. The only way to fix it would be to buy a new fan assembly, then.
So if it leaves rings on the disc do I just push the plastic belt back down, and would it help if I just cleaned the disc reading area
It sounds like you're saying that the disc reader is scratching the disc? If so, then yes, something is definitely in the way. Most likely it is a hard spec of dust that is trapped there, thus causing the scratches.
Hey man. Very good video! Used your instructions and everything went great with just a little problem at the end. When I put a game to test out the console (Ratchen and Clank), the game was in black and white. Is there any way you can help me? If yeah, I would really appreciate it!!!
Your amazing😎😎Where did you learn how to take apart these consoles? It just amazes me,how you remember were everything goes😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I'm selftaught. I just reached a point where curiosity got the best of me, and I had to know how it all worked.
My ps2 wont come out of its downside case
My ps2 slim scratches my games how do I fix that?
New ribbon cable.
Or just crease it to prevent it from forming a curve
Hi everyone... can anyone help me please? i dont know how to clean and repair my ps2 slim? it means a lot to me... need to save this ps2 slim... my father gave it to me a year before he died... thank you guys...
muchas gracias!! con este video se me fue el miedo para desarmar la slim mía!!
De nada! :D
Thanks!
You're welcome. :)
Good video, you helped me a lot and I had fun.
PLEASE HELP ME WHEN I PUT THE TOP LID I CANT PRESS THE POWER BUTTON HAT DO I DO.??
+KABAYONG DONKEY It sounds to me that you either have put the tiny circuit board with the power switch the wrong way - or that maybe the ribbon cable from the power switch to the main board has come loose.
My ps2 seems to overheat in just 10 minutes, it hasn't been opened since 2006/2007 probably, do you suggest opening and cleaning it up with some ethyl alcohol or something else?
Absolutely! :)
Vigerp Thanks, it now reads gta san Andreas a lot better! Do you think using an hairdryer to blow in the fan instead of a compressed air can would work too?
Yes and no. If you take the console apart, then go for it. Keep in mind that the whole point of a fan is to channel hot air *away* from the CPU and GPU. So if you blow hot air into your console, you risk damaging it. If your blowdryer has a cold air setting, then go for it.
2022 I'm Here
Well, I did everything according to plan, let it dry completely, even used a hair dryer to be sure that there's no water left, closed the PS up, shot NFSU2 in there the menu loads and everything but I can't get to the actual game it just loads forever and at one point the load thing gets stuck. What could I have done wrong?
Hey. Sorry that it took me a while to respond, but I have been very busy lately. Have you tried a different game? It sounds more like a problem with the disc than with the console. If the menu loads, then that means that the console is working and reading the disc up to that point. However, you could always try to clean the disc reader lens a bit more with a q-tip and some isopropyl alcohol. Just be careful not to use any force that could scratch the lens.
@@Vigerp Thanks for the reply, and no worries :) Well the game was working before I cleaned my PS2 (the only problem is it didn't load properly, like it would load half the map and you'd have to drive into the other half then the game would freeze and unfreeze when it loaded that chunk aswell) , although every other game seems to work fine, also the music on the menu is gone, I tried cleaning my CD and I also cleaned the reading lens when cleaning my PS, not gonna lie the game is badly scratched but it worked before, why not now?
@@Devuuse I think, from the sound of things, that it is the disc. It most likely would've decided to stop working regardless if you had cleaned your console or not. Do you have a friend or another console you can try the game on? With matters like these the best thing to do is to try to eliminate possible issues. The quickest would be to try the same game on a different console to see if you get the same result.
@@Vigerp Unfortunately no other PS2 is nearby, I also noticed that another game that was working perfectly with minor scratches is no longer playing, I'll try cleaning the disc reader again and cleaning the CDs also, I'm just glad my PS2 is fine I wouldn't kill it for the world. Thanks for the video buddy, you got another sub :))
Thank you so much. The only other advice I could give is to open it up again, and double check all the cables connected to the disc drive. Make sure that all the ribbon cables, especially, are pushed all the way into their connectors, and that they are properly locked in place. It is obviously connected to either the discs or the disc drive.
I’ve been having weird buzzing sounds from the fan, could that be from dust build up?
Yes, when dirt gathers on the fan blades, they become unbalanced and start to create a noise. Same as with a ceiling fan. :)
Vigerp thanks for the reply will definantly try it and get it out.
You're welcome. Best of luck to you. You can do this. :D
We have a same model number!
I have problem with my slim 7 its overheating,does every slim have the same problem??
Overheating is typically a sign of three things. Either the console sits on something that won't allow good enough ventilation through the fan vents (like sitting on a soft carpet, a pillow, or being enclosed in a cupboard with the door closed). It could also be a sign that the thermal paste has cracked, making a bad heat transfer to the heatsinks. Lastly, it could be as simple as dust blocking the fan and the fan vents, which causes hot air to build up inside the console.
Vigerp thanks mate you're video really helpful
You're welcome. :)
Thank you!!!
You're welcome. Thank you so much for checking out my video. :D
what is the model of this ps2?

Because of quarantine I'm gonna try to repair my PlayStation 2 wish me luck😃
Edit: BTW do you know why my PS2 Slim is overheating? And what can be the solution for this problem?
Is your PS2's fan full of dust ? or maybe there isn't the thermal paste thing on some chips
@@fotia7139 yeah it was dusty😂
@@Alan-yw8dt i think it's due the thermal paste missing
@@Alan-yw8dt maybe put thermal paste on the chips which need it
hello I'm looking for some way to be able to eliminate the scratches from the shell of the console, if someone knows a way I would appreciate a lot pls
It depends on how bad and deep the scratches are, but there are several ways to go about doing this. I made a video detailing one method, but it covers clear acrylic. I am guessing your scratches are located on the hard plastic?
the previous owner of my ps2 treated it very badly and has many scratches on the top of the console, the scratches are not so deep because they do not feel to the touch but they are up close and I would like to solve it. I tried to clean it with alcohol but it does not work
For deep scratches you could try to use a clear epoxy mixed with black paint. There are a couple of potential problems with this method, though. 1. You have to work fast, since the epoxy usually hardens quickly (unless you buy one that hardens in a longer time). 2. It can be difficult to match the color of the console exactly. You might end up with a slight color spot where the crack used to be.
Basically. You need to fill the crack with something, and match the color of the console. Then sand it down flush.
I will try that thank you very much men
man*
