0:25 - the hell it will! What kind of the magic ps2 slim you have?!

[@Romerco77]

He should have opened it so many times he destroyed the tab to the right of the DVD drive that held the cover in place and make the opening so tricky.

[@ellie6718]

So glad I saw this as I thought I was doing something wrong. This baby just doesn’t want to open. Thought I must’ve missed a screw and was looking everywhere and this video didn’t clear anything up

[@Tenshiboii956]

Oh no my warranty 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

[@Modzie868]

the screw under the optical mechanism is not a waste, that screw keeps the shield from warping and causing the laser from hitting the shield and shorting it out. Put back that screw there!!

[@Pagweb]

The reason is that Computers are designed to be serviceable. Consoles are not designed to be opened by the end user. If you decide to do it, you do it at your own risk.

If it’s already dying who cares?

[@cloudstrife2396]

What a quality video mate (given the fact that is recorded back at 2008!!).Well done!

Basically I got a PS2 Slim recently second hand. Yet it had a bit of an issue, a minor issue, but an issue nonetheless. The power/reset button was jammed, and it took a bit of effort just to turn it on. I simply disassembled the outer shell, and discovered that the button had accumulated a sizable amount of dirt. I removed the button, and cleaned the hole and the button mechanism. After reassembling the console, it now works like a charm. Surprising what a little work can do!

[@CITGProductions]

I laughed when I pulled the sticker off and it said "VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID" I like how you said more interesting hobbies of yours.

[@cemsengul16]

God it was so hard taking off the top cover on mine. A latch on the right side was very stubborn.

[@ellie6718]

Mine too. Scared of snapping something :(

[@scrivet01]

Well done. No frills or kiddy BS. Thank you.

[@TechNGamesIasonas]

Thank you, i dropped my coffee on my playstation 2 slim and this video help me to open it, clean it and now works again

[@tomkedwards1766]

[@SoapTF22]

I can’t take the bottom cover off, the memory card slot is in the way and I don’t wanna mess it up trying.

[@quigon87yt]

I have the PS2 Fatboy model, been there done that, Love the video.

[@aaronhendricks55]

it took me and my friend like 10 mins without this video.

[@Garde538]

Amazing 😂

[@MohamedYaseen1]

@nitrox85 look at the sides of your ps there is brakes for them just stich a paper on the hole next to it. it must now spin correctly

[@Specialcayspray]

Should have been more specific on which rubber covers to remove. 2 of them dont have screws underneath that and i tour one of thinking there was a screw underneath it. So thanks for that👍🏻

[@coldlmy1]

[@fuckhead3520]

@thewizard773 good for you ohh and good luck trying to put it back together.

[@XdjdaleyX]

Why do you always void your guarantee when wanting to open up a console? I open up my PC and dust inside it every 4 months or so (it is a old one however with poor air flow) so why am i not allowed to open up my console to dust and let it preform better?

[@dimostychalas9716]

The cover doesnt slip of that easily for me. The backside is stuck

[@lacucaracha111111]

thanks that helped me fix my powerplug problem

[@Rijeka82]

how to get bottom plastic off.. you didnt show it how?

[@ridhoirvan1070]

Two of my screws have a plastic cover and i cant open it :((

[@mikofox9798]

You gotta use a flathead to gently pry it off.

[@stefanou02]

just a 2016 comment passing by

[@dhymers]

I modded mine way back, and I almost bust it open in frustration not finding those screws ! grr. lol.

[@dhymers]

lol 13yrs later had to have a refresher, different unit but a memory card slot died... and a bunch of dead cockroach bits fell out when I opened it.

[@t4c4]

now my ps2 works perfect thx!!

[@MrBogs88]

good day,what made me interest most is the picture on last part of the video is it service manual?where can i get that?thanks

[@presswt]

They don't want to trying to repair it and then when you break it in the process turn it in to them.

[@BassApe]

Mine is different, under the motor (where the disk spins) is a BIOS battery... Near the IR receiver and power button...

[@buddah13]

thanks, a fuse is out on my slim, the green light comes on for a seconf them back to red, i guess i need to test the fuses to see which ones are out

[@tom1161]

on the motor part at 1:42 i seem to be missing the screw in the bottom right? could this be why the motor is not working?

[@TheEpicPunk]

thanks this helps a bunch!!!

[@DahDahWahWahDah]

I dont get how you took the bottom part out? i unscrewed it but its still not coming out i think the controller ports are blocking it?

[@IIKlaplonGII]

If my DVD drive doesnt do anything (even the motor doesnt spin) where should I take a look at?

[@justthundaidk368]

Today I'm gonna repair my Playstation

[@Jaliya48]

I found out that by removing the 7 screws, the shell of the PS2 can be removed. Yay!

[@MrLoneIy100]

[@acemasta818]

[@SunMing88]
