I did a detailed cleaning on my girlfriends ps2 (without asking her) with the help of this video and it looks 100x better! She walked in the door from work and I had the console completely taken apart on our dining room table. She thought I had taken apart a car stereo lol. The look of horror on her face when she realized that it was her PS2 was priceless. But everything went smooth and the console runs perfectly and looks great. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

So, long story time! After watching this video repeatedly for the last year, I decided to finally open and clean my beloved PS2--my favorite console of all time. Since 2000, it's been around 8 different pets, dealt with me as a child, and has moved to multiple houses with me, so it was pretty dirty and banged up. I only recently cleaned an Atari 2600 that once belonged to my mother and uncle, but this was my first attempt at making a more complicated console seem new again (and prevent it from becoming a fire hazard.) Everything went well, and I even took pictures through the process...except for the very last step. I carefully removed my console's lid when I first opened it, and I was incredibly delicate with the fan and the laser assembly. I spent a total of 5 hours cleaning, taking my time and getting every last bit of dust and fur out that I could. But then...right as I was flipping the lid back on to put the last screws in...the damn ribbon cable for the eject and reset button just popped out. On the side under the disc tray. And I lost. my. shit. I can't explain the sense of heartbreak, dread, and fear I felt in that moment. I started to tear up thinking, "I just broke the pride and joy of my game collection." I know I could get another PS2, but this one has been with me for 18 years. I'm quite attached to it with the amount I've played the thing. Thankfully, the cable wasn't ripped, so I opened the whole thing back up, found the slot for the cable, and despite the blue tab separating from the silver ribbon, I could still wedge the cable and tab in as if they were still connected. The power and eject button work just fine (for now...?), but if they stop working, I'll find a replacement. I know how to open it up, now. So my caution to you, whoever reads this and wants to follow this guide: Be more careful than you think you should be. Or even want to be. Some parts take a little bit of force or moving around to get them out or in, but still...take every piece apart slowly. Don't rush. Follow the guide closely. Keep track of and be careful with the ribbon cable and thin fan wire. Don't touch the laser except with a q-tip and don't go overboard with cleaning it. It's a fun console to clean, but god, it nearly caused a breakdown, even when I thought I was being careful. And thank you for the video, Adam! Despite my mishap, the "figure it out" mentality played a key part in calming me down in order to fix the problem. I googled the issue and found a video of someone removing the disc tray to show me where the port was, and then I was able to do it on my own. I still want to clean the other consoles I have, but now I feel like I'm much more prepared and actively cautious. I'm still frazzled, but...the PS2 is looking good, sounding good, and playing even better, so there's my silver lining.

It's nice to have videos like this posted, I fixed my first PS2 without instructions as KZbin wasn't around back then. It was only having problems with the lens, once I'd opened, cleaned and put that PS2 back together, with no help from the internet, it felt very satisfying to see it work and function properly again, soon after so called friends asked me to clean their PS2 lenses. I didn't clean it as thoroughly as this video shows how to do, but I'll be using this video as a reference when I pop open a PS2 someone sold me last year, the shell is pretty dirty so I can only guess at how much dirt and maintenance it needs internally.

Once you get the above grinding noise, the plastic teeth are (almost) finished in my experience. I've heard you can use a lighter/heat to re-shape the plastic so it's firmer though.

Thanks a million, I also bought a PS2 for next to nothing at a pawn shop because they said it was broken (I paid $5.99 for it.) Well, it wouldn't power up and so I followed your video in order to dismantle it without breaking it. When I got it apart, it turned out that the fuse had been shaken loose, and was only attached on one side. When I plugged the fuse back in, I had power (!). At that point I reassembled it. The only thing I did differently than you was during dissasembly I bent the plastic top in order to get it off rather than removing the ribbon cable. That made assembly quite quick and painless, but I was happy for the careful way you inventoried the screws during reassembly. Thanks again, and keep up the good work! This is my first PS2, and it plays DVD's, so needless to say I am very happy. :-)

I had to do this to my Ps2 when some dust got inside and was messing with the laser reading disks. I didn't really get THIS through, although instead of mister clean i opted for a cheap bottle of Turtle Wax plastic shiner/cleaner. Came out really good and smelling faintly of coconuts. XD

Loved this vid: Thanks for the upload! So, this PS2 console was lying around in a thrift shop gathering dust for years, Adam almost completely disassembles the console, then re-constructs it - At 22:37 Adam turns it on for the first time... Works first time...! :) Kind of a testimony to Sony engineering! I still have mine... Its given me hours of fun (including some memorable Tekken with my son) - I clean out the vents with a soft brush and vac it, I dont like to mess with the CD tray too much, but I tend to use a "CD cleaning disc" to clean the lazer reader inside... Seems to work well. Havent tried the Eric H trick to add "White Lithium Grease" to the rail and teeth, but even the grinding sound from the tray can be fixed, it seems... I will be trying the magic erazer trick, as i have a few blemishes on the soft black plastic case, like Adam says ordinary house polish works to bring it back, cheap car polish seems to work well too... Maybe the PS2 will become so iconic, good working examples will become high value items on Ebay? You never know...

Thanks for an incredibly useful guide. I recently fired up my playstation 2 after several years of limbo.

i recently got my ps2 from my best friend because he traded in one my ps4 games for a remaster of dark souls which kinda pissed me off (well not that pissed but i jokingly called him a prick for it) and as a way to make amends he said "ok you can pick out any game in my room to keep, anything" then i spotted that ps2 fat baby that always sat at the edge of his closet and me feeling nostalgic picked that and boy was it dirty as hell couldnt even read games but wasnt gonna give up on it so easy and boom found this video copied everything i saw here boom it actually works now! so yeah this video i say legit

The past week or so for me had been tough, I was about to give up on playing my modified PS2 after all these years (I am a retro gamer) and contemplated getting rid of it. Until I thought about 'youtubing' "How To Open Up A PS2" with the hope of finding out why my console wasn't reading the games properly after I accidentally dropped it! But thanks to this video I was able to open it up, inspect areas for any broken parts (which there were none) clean up lens as instructed and boom... My PS2 is reading the discs swiftly and perfectly!! KZbin is brilliant! lol Thank You +Adam Koralik

my ps2 quit working years ago, so I decided to open it up and clean it. it was almost as dusty as this one! to my surprise it started working again! this was a good tutorial! another thing you can do while you have the disc tray open to clean the laser lens is lube the little rail that the laser slides on.

Just saw this video in 2021! I found an old fat PS2 in a thrift store for $15, tested it a little and it powers up and the disc tray opens. No scary noises while it's on, but the thing is super dirty. I'm hopeful I can bring it back to life! It even has a game still in- Vigilante 8 2nd Offense. I think that's actually a PS1 game, never played it. But once I get this thing fixed up, I will! Thanks for the video!
