Now that I'm done, two things to mention. One, the blue disc games are supposed to sound a lot louder than other games, so yeah even that is perfectly normal. That PS2 is perfect. Second, the reason why nothing was moving in the Bios is because the clock needed to be reset, as it's probably chilling thinking it's still 2000. Doesn't even have to be a dead battery, that just happens sometimes. Nothing major. $13 is not bad at all!
I've been cleaning some ps2 consoles myself lately and a common issue I'm encountering is the disc drive grinding when opening or not opening at all. Messing with that mechanism can really be a chore but a quick and dirty fix is just loosening up the screws that hold the tray in place a little bit and most of the time that fixes it for me. Regarding the laser, sometimes it's just worn out and very old to a point where it will load up games but it will be very slow and laggy and glitch out the game. GTA games are actually the perfect games to benchmark a ps2 laser as there is a lot of data streaming going on in those games. Sometimes you'll notice buildings not loading in properly and stuff like that.
Put some white lithium grease on the teeth of the gears for your disk drive. That should help the grinding noise as well as the difficulty opening the disk drive.
@@thatssomegoodpie I see, it is only about $5 at Lowes if you are interested. There is a video on RUclips by Borderline OCD that details him fixing a broken Fat PS2, where he details putting on new lithium grease in the disk drive.
this video reminded me I kept my first PS2. currently in the process of cleaning mine. surprised how well I took care of my stuff as a kid cause this thing is spotless
7:36 yeah this is definitely a later revision model. Most of the original models including my main one have the power/eject button attached to the top case with a ribbon cable that's fairly easy to yank out by accident. I accidentally did to one of my other PS2s I have. (Come to think of it I think your original video was like that as well) I noticed one of the ports on the front were missing too so that's a more obvious clue that it's a later revision
Always stoked to see a new restoration video. BTW, it's 4:30 AM as I write this and this isn't the first time I've pulled an all nighter binging your stuff. 2 weeks ago I binged your 5th generation recap series throughout an entire night. Your voice is just so nice to hear this late!
Good for you for restoring one of these old beauties. I remember my teacher gave me one he found in the garbage. Within 20 minutes of giving it a proper cleaning it worked like new. If you come across these machines or anything until 7th gen like Xbox 360 and ps3 it’s best to save them. It will get harder and harder to collect systems and games
I'd suggest using isopropyl alcohol instead of Magic Eraser. ME is basically sandpaper, and can erase the surface of plastic. I see it on quite a lot of cartridges. IPA will take that silver ink off very easily.
Just found a ps2 at a garage sale with all cords and controller. So this is perfect. I use your n64 video to this day to clean the n64 consoles I find. Thank you.
I like how you Mentioned the Follow Up on the 1st Video from December of 2013: I was 15 and a Sophomore in High School. I was Finishing my 1st Semester Finals Around that time that Video was Uploaded. It was a Month before my 16th Birthday. I'm 23 now. I'll be 24 in January. Now that I look back to 7th Grade through Senior Year it seems like it hasn't been that long since I was a Teenager then.
My PS2 is a 30001. It is the launch model. The heat sink is different and has two main boards soldered together by 5 pins. You have to desolder them to separate the 2 boards and you also have to desolder the pins in order to change the cmos battery. I wish I had this model in the video. But mine still works and love playing games off the hard drive with free Mcboot.
ive done this for plastic boxes ie ps/xb, it does not leave scratches, alcohol pads and transpore tape. transpore tape is best, it sticks to glue residual best. it's medical tape used in healthcare
Great video Adam! I remember the original video as well! Still cool to see your helping the gaming community when it comes to cleaning and restoration! This is why I subbed! 😎
So satisfying to see a restoration like that - when I used to work at People Play Games that was the best part of the job - just cleaning video games all day. I would suggest Simple Green instead of pledge since simple green costs like 10 bucks for a jug and you just dilute it into a spray bottle. Cleans all the nerd grime off and doesn't leave a residue. Kind of makes me want to go to a thrift store and get some stuff just to clean it lol.
Hi Adam! For the permanent marker on the modem i would suggest using "isopropyl alcohol". I use it all the time on marker and it gets rid of it realy good without acting up with the black from the plastic - but be aware with stickers and paint! It will clean it off too. Have a nice day!
I’m more impressed that after all these years since the original black sheet is still black and hasn’t faded with the years of washing that has gone through.
Take the heat sink off as well and change the thermal pad for the mother board. The original one is probably dried and cracked. Great video Adam $13.00 was a steal.
@@curtis8516 I bought a 20W/mK for my launch PS3. The thermal pads were $24.00 for a 100mm square. With the PS2 I would think a cheaper pad would be fine. The main idea is to get a pad as thick as the original one is. Now all these consoles were manufactured in countries that use the metric system so all screws, pads will be in millimeters. I have the thickness wrote down at home. I would think a cheaper thermal pad would work fine. I do not see the PS2 producing a lot of heat. The fan is to cool the power supply as well as the die sets since Sony had problems with heat in the launch PS1.
There’s another potential option for cleaning off permanent marker that worked on my SNES carts. Use dry erase markers that are made for white boards. Just cover the area with any colour of dry erase marker, then wipe it away with a cloth or tissue. It might take a few tries, but it worked for me.
I scored my PS2 from Gamestop somewhere around 2009-2010, the laser lens was dirty, and that was about all that was wrong with it, other than a little dust cleaning, then did the ol' quick swap DVD trick to install Free McBoot, which allowed me to put in a small IDE (2.5") 120 GB HDD I had lying around with an adapter and the broadband adapter. One of these days I need to hook it up and play with it again, though I'm sure my PC can emulate it better today.
Thinking my brothers broke my console I never played on my ps2 again; years later and recent events made me want to finally go back down memory lane; thank the lord I never sold my baby! Ima try to clean it and this video was all I needed to see, thanks 🙏🏾😭
Dude, this video couldn't come at a better time. I literally have just started gaming on a PS2 that I bought in 2003 and abandoned ( went drinkin' for a few). I'm having a blast playing with the thing but have not done a deep cleaning as I'm waiting on some white lithium grease for the noisey tray. Great video. Cheers! :)
I remember seeing this come out for the first time back in 2013, and remember watching it despite not owning an original PS2, back in 2013. Time flies...
Nice - got a couple of “For Parts” PlayStation 2 from ebay a few months ago. I took them apart all the way to the motherboards for a 100% deep clean. installed new clock batteries and got new cooling fans from amazon. Both PS2 are looking like new and running quiet like they were just taken out of the retail box now.
@@AdamKoralik I would like to scope out my teeth. I have a recurring toothache but I don’t trust dentists any more. I’ve had too many teeth removed. I think they just collect them.
@@AdamKoralik for real though. A couple of years ago my dentist scheduled my wisdom teeth removed before performing an X-ray and explaining why she wanted them out. I’m pretty sure I need my wisdom teeth. Otherwise I’d be really gullible and wreckless and join a fonzi scheme or something.
I just got a 30001 R system working. The disk wasn't playing the DVD games but adjusting the laser pitch fixed it and now both work fine. Heading to the store now to find some Pledge as the outside needs some serious help.
Go into a toy shop, there’s He-Man, Care Bears and Pound Puppies toys switch on RUclips and there’s a PS2 cleaning vid…. What a nostalgic world we live in!!!!! Lol
Thank you Adam I got my ps2 looking brand new again, Thanks to your advice. But what I do when I wash the shells is I put them in front of a fan and let them dry like that.
A console cleaning video, not many more of these left to see. Always good to see a Adam Koralik going old school. Also where's my Cleaning video BINGO Card?
My Xbox One X Hdmi port went out a few weeks ago. Visiting my brother, he had a fat ps2 just sitting. He gives it to me because he says he never plays it anymore and with 10 mint condition ps2 games. A year before that, I started collecting ps2 games because "nostalgia" of course... even though I didn't own a Ps2. So I get home and realize its a little dusty... but no worries I clean it up a little bit. 😁 After hooking it up, I realize I had forgotten the controller!! So, pretty much since then I bought about 30 of my favorite Ps2 games, a Reto Fighters Defender wireless controller, a new electronic tool kit, and a few other things I might need. I know the system works and plays, but I havn't took apart a Ps2 in years. Coming from a guy who used to build Pc computers... I just wanted to take everything apart and have it all cleaned before I started playing to make me feel better. My dad growing up was an electronic guy, he loved and still loves gaming. I was the kid that had a 3D0 system too. Epic game console at the time...Anyways, I've watched several videos on different Ps2 models just to remind myself for an easy and satisfying take apart and clean. I enjoyed this video and subscribed. Thanks for making this vid! I
An awesome video as per usual, Adam! 😄👍👍 Just like with your previous console cleaning & maintenance guides I appreciate you for taking the time to make them very easy to follow along as well as being very helpful & informative. 😁👌🎮 Cheers to you, my man! 🥃🥃
a lot of PAL and Japanese versions of this console the power and eject buttons are mounted to the top shell and connected with a ribbon cable so you have to be careful when taking the lid off to not tear the cable. Also paints easier to get off with a Qtip and some surgical spirit, the magic erasers can really dull off the plastic if you're not careful but are great for taking off scuffs or dirt ground into texture like on top of a nes.
I like that you don't disassemble the console any further than is absolutely necessary to clean it. I would be interested to know which model of PS2 this is.
I have a PS2 model Nr. SCPH 50004. I would like to follow your guide to clean it. But I think that only makes sense if your model is the same as mine. Would you tell me the model number of your device? Its like SCPH... something... Please?
I did notice the model sticker is gone. What a shame. 😓 Edit; what also might be good for the disc drive is to grease the worm gear and rails. You can also clean the spindle that the disc sits on.
i always use various ceramic coating car wax and car dash plastic protectant like meguiars and back in black black plastic restorer, car plastic polish
Thx for this video Adam! There is an easier way to remove warranty stickers, use ipe and a knife. It would not say void or break. The rings should move, but if they do not. The clock battery is dead
@@AdamKoralik yup works great, doesn't ruin the cardboard. dries too quickly. but yeah sticker residue, wipe with a que tip or rag, the residue comes off quite easily. give it a shot. i used it recently to get gamestop sticker residue off my game cases.
I’m doing this as I watch .. just needed some more detail about the thermal paste I forgot .. does the ps2 have some type of pads .. or can I just add some mx4 thermal paste on it with out ruining the console .?
I've heard of people hiding cash (or drugs) in the HDD bay, so I got a little excited when I noticed a used PS2 I recently bought was full of something... It was a fat stack of bus passes (from Quebec) and someone's old house keys. 👎
I watched this dusty gross video while eating my breakfast. Nice! :D I just replaced my laser in my PS2 but I will be using your guide to spruce it up. :) Glad you did a PSA for the kids. Have a good one Adam!
Finally, the upgrade from 480p that we needed.
And the upgrade in image clarity that we needed.
If the orbs aren’t flying around on the bios screen it means the CMOS battery is dead and the clock isn’t set.
Nostalgic is right, this is the OG series that I subscribed for back in 2012

for stickers you can also use alcohol pads. transpore tape is also helpful, you tape it onto the glue residual and pull, do it several times to clean

Any kind of a strong duct tape will do. I always use that method.
@@Stanjara your suggestion is much better, bc most people already have duct tape. i always use this method too but never see it mentioned

Haven’t seen one of these in forever. The one you did on the N64 back in like 2012 is actually what got me interested in fixing game consoles.
You can wash fans with soap and water just need adequate drying time before use. That's how I clean my cpu fans on everything.

a lot of PAL and Japanese versions of this console the power and eject buttons are mounted to the top shell and connected with a ribbon cable so you have to be careful when taking the lid off to not tear the cable. Also paints easier to get off with a Qtip and some surgical spirit, the magic erasers can really dull off the plastic if you're not careful but are great for taking off scuffs or dirt ground into texture like on top of a nes.

Adam Remastered a classic video! Coming soon to Home Video and DVD.
Nicely done Adam, came out looking brilliant
I recently did this & changed the RTC battery.
Quick tip, use isopropyl alcohol for sharpie instead of the magic eraser, to protect the finish
Wow this takes me back!!!! #Nostalgia Thanks Adam! :)
Have missed this kind of videos from you 😊👍
Its like he knew I was looking at PS2s.. 😯
Aaaaaah! I knew I hated touching magic erasers, didn’t know how much it Would drive me crazy to listen to someone else use one

Adam K's PS2 Cleaning Remastered
Hope all is well with you adam!
Finally... A new 'Cleaning and Restoring' video. And is curious because I'm thinking to buy a FAT PS2
I remember the video you did on the slim one I cleaned mine when I got first got it and haven’t had a problem since. Good shit
Imagine if you got the Red Screen then the PS1 or PS2 logo shows up. I bet that's what would happen if the PS2 Red Screen sees Chuck Norris.
I did notice the model sticker is gone. What a shame. 😓
Edit; what also might be good for the disc drive is to grease the worm gear and rails. You can also clean the spindle that the disc sits on.
What I also noticed that the clock battery is completely drained.
(Indicated by the helix not spinning at the main menu)
Its a good idea to replace the cheap thermal pads
Great video thanks man!!
i always use various ceramic coating car wax and car dash plastic protectant like meguiars and back in black black plastic restorer, car plastic polish
Thanks for another enjoyable cleaning video, Adam 🤘🏻
I substitute Pledge with 303 Aerospace protectant (it is designed for plastics after all) and a microfiber cloth
You should have put a little dab of lithium grease on the worm drive mechanism and rails on that optical drive while you had it out.
Thx for this video Adam! There is an easier way to remove warranty stickers, use ipe and a knife. It would not say void or break. The rings should move, but if they do not. The clock battery is dead
Nicely done, looks good as new! Great video.
liter fluid is also great for stickers/adhesive
Can't say I ever heard that one.
@@AdamKoralik yup works great, doesn't ruin the cardboard. dries too quickly. but yeah sticker residue, wipe with a que tip or rag, the residue comes off quite easily. give it a shot. i used it recently to get gamestop sticker residue off my game cases.

Edit: I got it, I forgot the two screws in the middle!
I’m doing this as I watch .. just needed some more detail about the thermal paste I forgot .. does the ps2 have some type of pads .. or can I just add some mx4 thermal paste on it with out ruining the console .?

Use aerosol body spray on that silver price on the back. Works wonders on sharpie, and leave a nice scent. Just spray right on it.
Invest in some paint and tooth brushes too :)
