Carefully lift the upper casing, exposing the top of the console. Remove the 2 rubber feet and 4 plastic pieces pictured, and then remove the 6 Philips screws.Ģ: Flip the PS2 back to its bottom. Piece of plastic, one from a relatively sturdy blister packġ: (Steps 1 and 2 are optional, but highly recommended if you want more space to work with)įlip your PS2 to its top. PS2 slim with a bulged ribbon cable (mine's a SCPH-70001 but this should work just as well on a 9000x, AKA redesigned slim) I am sharing this because I thought this might help some to trust their PS2 slims more since people often talk really bad about slims. Don't buy a new ribbon cable or try to directly glue it back, it's difficult, tricky, and very easy to screw up your whole disc reading unit. I am awfully clumsy at console repairs but this one is easy enough to be performed by me (and therefore pretty much anyone). There's a lot of misinformation regarding perfect scratches on PS2 discs, some claim it's the laser, others say it's unstable disc movement, but the real cause is the laser's ribbon cable, the cable is usually glued down, but age and heat can (and will eventually) make the thing bulge out of position and touch your discs.įixing this is very easy, but some methods out there complicate the procedure more than they really should. I already knew what caused the problem since I googled common problems on PS2 slims before I bought mine, but I was reluctant to accept the console was defective because it looked fine.
Everything seemed normal until a few days ago I noticed a circular scratch on one of my discs.
