How to fix a PS2 with No Power and replace the Laser

/ @gamextc PlayStation 2 Slim Repair | PS2 Laser Replacement | Power but Won't Turn On FIX - This Rare PS2 slim was picked up on Ebay for £7 and was advertised as part/spares because it couldn't be powered on. It's not the common broken input pin and was such a easy/simply fix. Whilst we had it open, we thought it would be a good idea to show you all how to change the laser and the assembly

I thought you would solder the loose button back on. I wonder if you could've just tweaked the pot on the laser to get it working again, or better yet maybe some bad capacitors were the reason it wasn't working well anymore and you could replace those without having to tweak the pot. That's a common problem on the GameCube anyway. I suppose if you already have the spare parts on-hand it's easier/faster to swap them in most cases, but for those watching at home and still at the troubleshooting/diagnostic stage, I would think they'd prefer to fix the parts they have rather than order new ones and wait for them to arrive. It's nice to keep using the original parts if you can also. Hopefully you at least keep the parts you removed as spares for later repairs instead of throwing them out.

Thank for the comment! We could have soldered the power button, but I wasn’t happen with the push mechanism so decided to change it. However, we could have tried that first before replacing. You could tweak and replace a capacitor or two for the laser, but from experience its easier to replace on the PS2 Slim. On other consoles e.g. Mega CD we have a different approach, depending on issue. Appreciate the comment, as it gives us a better idea of what the viewers prefer. Thanks again
