I restored this $7 Junk Playstation 2 Slim - Retro Console Restoration & Repair

In this episode I restore a Playstation 2 (PS2) slim which I got for $7 as part of a junk lot of consoles. Low end price for working device is typically around $50. Black consoles can be cheaper because there are more of them available. As a bonus I got a free game, DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi, it's quite common game and even in good condition not very valuable. But it's a nice addition to my collection, here is a link to my video of repairing the disc: • Repair & restoration o...
I started the restoration by testing the console. I was able to power it on. I think it wasn't supposed to work but the descriptions for these consoles are quite often inaccurate. However it was not reading games.
After opening the console I tried to see if I could repair the disc drive. The Playstation 2 disc drive is known for breaking quite easily. The laser just stops working. I decided to replace the whole disc drive. Only the laser part can also be changed. After replacing the laser I still had to do a little adjusting on the screws I show on the video.
After replacing the drive I continued to disassemble the console. I cleaned everything with compressed air, soapy water and isopropyl alcohol and removed a little yellowing with UV-light and hydrogen peroxide. Tutorial to the process here: • How to remove yellowin...
The original model sticker was in bad condition so I copied it in photoshop and printed a new one.

It has some great features and seems reasonably priced compared to other brands. Definitely worth considering for your cleaning routine!

Note for cleaning fans with compressed air: it's recommended to hold the blades while you blow them off, as letting them spin too fast can damage them. They're not designed to have that much air go through them, usually it's more of a gentle breeze. If a huge gust of wind pushes it too fast, it can mess up some of the internals. Maybe not immediately but it may shorten its life. Source: work on PCs, learned it in C.I.S class in highschool

With PSN servers shut down PS4 gaming will be very annoying. Games are mostly realised in an early stage of development (in case of cyberpunk they probably didn't even bother to test it further then through the tutorial ;) and finished months after the release. Saves are also often in a cloud. PS3 is still supported, there was an update in December, but online features are already slowly vanishing. After they shut down the store, final 24 months countdown, to fulfill the waranty law and the end. In case of PS4 with games supported (more or less) by the PS5, they will kill it probably much faster.
