Thanks for the video. I have an old 30001 PS2 that has this same issue. It fails to eject at all. I will find out soon what may be the problem and thanks to your video I'm confident I will fix it and not ditch it. I've kept my PS2 for a ton of years now knowing that one day this would come. Its just been sitting dormant waiting. Thx for the video and tips! GJ with the restore!

Have you ever opened a system that ended up being full of bugs or cockroaches? I bought some ps2 fats recently and one of them was full of roaches. They were dead, but I was not enthused. Someone had been in it and ruined things anyway, so I closed it back up pretty quickly after discovering the mess and threw it in the trash outside.

Sooo? 🤔 I’m a tad lazy or as I like to call it inpatient!! That preparation with the blue tape looks time consuming. Do you think blu tac or play doh might make for good masking???

I've had to do foam earpads like that on old Sennheisers a few times. I like to pre-stretch the back side that goes around the plastic a bit. It doesn't make getting the earpads on easy, but I want to pull my hair out less that way.

Had no idea you could test capacitors while still in the board...all the other channels that I've watched say that you have to take them out before you can test them. Didn't even know an ESR meter was a thing. Thanks for that...subbed.

Thanks so much, i got my drive assembly fixed without spending 40€ 😃👍

Perfect!

Awesome guide! My ps2 light doesn't come on but my power supply has 11.88 volts. What else could it be?

The USB port on mine didn't look right at all and the USB cord wouldn't fit right on it.

Do you have any idea if swaping ps2 laser which had khs 400C to used laser khs 400r if it will work using lenschanger?

I did the solder thing to the power supply like what's done here. And I verified that my power cable is good. It still won't power on though. It seems like it's trying to power on and then nothing. The light doesn't come on but I do hear a little sound for just a second when I press power. Almost like a motor was just beginning to do something. Any thoughts on what I should look for? Great video by the way. Very clear to see what you're doing along with helpful tips.

And someone told me the Original Xbox had a capacitor plague. Found out PS2 was affected by it too with the power supply. This video helped save my model. Thanks!

I have the same issue, but in my case, 2 of the zener diodes, and 2 of the standard (black) diodes had also died. So if anyone else watching has this issue, check those components too. Thanks for the good video

In 99 or maybe 2000 ,I built laptops, and first experience with thermal paste was a rectangular piece of what looked and felt like chewing gum. Kinda squishy, but it worked. Was only in portables, but that was the first attempt by a major computer company that I ever saw.

1 and 2 mm thicknesses??

Wow, that PS2 has had the bottom shell piece swapped in the past. You said it's a 3000x, but it's using the bottom shell from a 5000x, because it has no hole for the ilink/firewire port, but the moment you pulled it out of the bottom case I could see it still has the ilink/firewire port on the motherboard.

Do you have to adjudt the dvd and cd potentiometers on a new laser or afe they already set????

I have same model and mine had the AC adaptor included.

Oh perfect this was exact video i need for later, every other video is for different controller models but i needed this one. Funny enough after reassembing my controller the stick drift just disappeared(no repairs just disassembly and reassembly), but i plan on replacing the modules regardless in when it comes back

Hello My Xbox original Was working perfectly and i have recently cleaned it but now i dismantle my xbox because the CD was block and after I changed the round plastic i reassemble it and Surprise My xbox is not working at all I am pressing on button but nothing works

what did you do to get the power cord to work to begin with? or is it just a different cord?

hey titan, this is paul2. i wasn't able to log in to psx5central forums for nearly a month. i think your board blocks email from being sent from psx5central so i couldn't reset my password. i googled your psx5central facebook and your personal facebook weeks ago and comment there waiting for you to response but i think you didn't visit it yet though.

Eres mi héroe, no sabia si ese tipo de micro cables se podian soldar

What if my xbox still doesn't turn on after this?

I’ve recently acquired a “fat” PS2 and have modded it to use with a hard disk drive. Your channel is one of the ‘hidden’ gems I have discovered through the TH-cam algorithm after a lot of searching for PS2 content over the last few weeks. I agree that your channel is underrated and should have way more subscribers. Here’s hoping that your fan base continues to grow. Happy Holidays and thank you. 🙏🏻

This is a limited bug edition :D SCPH BUG01:D

I kind of wonder if the reason why it was glued shut was to prevent little timmy from playing games instead of concentrating on schoolwork.

My disc drive is stuck half way open...any suggestions?

Great video!! Been restoring a 35003 unit. Almost done. Just have a lil problem ish. My optical drive reads everything. Loads up ps1 games perfectly, ps2 games take a little longer (dvd rom) as in, past the ps2 start up screen to the browser & system configuration screen 20-30 seconds later PlayStation 2 screen (for the game) it’s the original laser. Is it time to replace the laser so it loads like it was brand new? I’ve stripped cleaned and greased the drive and cleaned the laser. And the thermal pads, mine are exactly the same, did you use 3mm pads on the 2 smaller chips and then 2mm pads on the graphics chips etc? I wanna make sure I get the correct ones. And what a good idea on spraying the RF shields, never crossed my mind. Looked great afterwards!!! Now the idea is rolling around in my head! Maybe a blue to match. I plan to further install a RePS2 CPU so I can also install a retro gem in. Along with led strips in the front grill with dark and light matching blue. With McBoot and the hard drive or ssd mod.

how do you know which model you need to buy for the drive. I got about 13 ps2 that need to have the laser replaced. But, I dont know which model to buy to replace.

If u want to make it work and dont want anything else. I fixed mine 5501 exactly like yours. When it spins 2 times and nothing else u have to move the potentiometer with OHMs on the multimiter its " recomended " about 650-750 but!. Mine works on 550ohms so i just recomend to move it around without the multimiter until it spins u can break it i didnt. Theres a point when the motor spins like a motor of a car then u go down from there there should be 2 points where the disc read correctly mine were on 550 and on 930 but 930 didnt read all games only a few and 550 read everything. So good luck im pretty sure u still can do that and make it work like i did, luck from Argentina

Hello, i recently got a PS2 Fat SCHP 30001 R with an issue, the console wont turn on, the power button light stays at a solid red but it wont boot no matter how much i press the button, do you know if this issue is the button's fault or is something wrong with the mobo?

I just got a new laser for my ps2 fat and I got the same exact laser as the old one because the old one had a dead DVD laser but the replacement I bought still only reads CDs and no matter how much adjustments I did it still doesn’t read DVDs, is there anything I could do to fix this?

great video, nice to see a review before I purchase. I have 1 question, when you were looking at the slides, how did you record the screen? I dont mean the camera behind you, but how were you recording while you were looking at teh slides. did you have the microscope hooked up to the computer? Maybe I missed that part.

I remember telling my parents i wanted ps1 for Christmas, and the accidently got me a 3DO I was so upset. I can now see i was a spoiled little shit.

WTF! you can find a replacement power cord at any thrift store for like a dollar.

I always hand wash with hot soapy water, dry with compressed air, then let dry for 24h. In this instance i would wash earthing accept the laser unit. Never had an issue, tinkering and restoring electronics for the past 30+ years.

can I use marshmallows 🤔 instead I don't have thermal pads

❤❤❤❤

Best thing: I could understand you😊

if you going the de-ironised route you could use normal soap and watrer to get the board clean making sure theres nothing mechanical water can get in then use the de-ironised water for rinse and finaly use the isopropnol alcahol to disspell any residule water.

Didnt replace battery while in there... oof

New Sub; Dryden, Michigan. I just Acquired a PS2 someone found in the Mud... Legit Got it all Cleaned out, It Boots! But now I have tot get the DVD Drive Re-Aligned, that Never Lines up for Me LOL Water is Fine, Just Ya Know... Dont have the PS2 Plugged in... After the water, Dry with an Air Compressor, then Rinse with 90% Alcohol after the water to ensure everything is Dry Well Done

I would use holy water 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing

The spiders will come back!

So last night I stripped down my ps2 I bought off eBay and it was hella dirty with some disc reading issues. would register a ps1 disc as it would show it in the ps menu but wouldn’t load up when selected just kept booting me back to the menu screen. And it wouldn’t read some ps2 games but others and the disc tray would slow down opening near the end. Got it the a million pieces and it was like 3am so went to bed, woke up today and was freaking out as I thought 2 screws went somewhere, thankfully you video guided me back on the right path. If only I had all this knowledge back in the day! I went through 3 ps2 fats the 35003, 39003 and 50003.

Never use hot glue.
