PS2 Meets Arachnophobia: Despidering and refurbishing
I picked up this PS2 on ebay not too long ago in a parts/repair lot. When it came in I was shocked about how filthy this thing was. Now, I’m used to grime and even some bugs. But copious amounts of spiders? That’s a new one for me! Come along as I tear into this PS2 and de-spiderfy it and get it back to as clean as possible.

This PS1 Has A Tail: Unsticking the open button and refurbishing
มุมมอง 8292 หลายเดือนก่อน
I bought this PS1 in a parts and repair lot. I didn’t notice in the pictures but this one came with something a little extra; a tail! I’m still not sure why this was done so the jury is still out.

DOA PlayStation 2 Part 2: Replacing Power Supply Capacitors and Finding a New Issue
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?
Did you transfer over the black screw on the left hand side of the laser? I forgot to do that once and it read CDs but not DVDs until I moved it over.
@ I did transfer it over but could it be that maybe that’s not adjusted correctly?
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 believe you can hook it up to a computer. But the microscope allows you to record video to a microSD card. Though recently I've had issues of videos actually recording to it (I've had entire videos go missing or only partly recorded) which is problematic as a content creator lol. I'm gonna try other solutions. It could possibly be my memory card too. I haven't swapped it yet to see.
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.
You talking about me wanting to recycle the cord? I don't like to be wasteful lol.
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.
Thanks for the tip! Do you just use dish soap?
@@titanrepairs Yes Dawn.
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!

After the water, Dry with an Air Compressor, then Rinse with 90% Alcohol after the water to ensure everything is Dry Well Done
Thanks for the sub! Yeah. I try not to mess with the alignment. If it works I leave it be lol. It can be quite temperamental. Thanks for the insight!
I would use holy water 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing
The spiders will come back!
0:24 "I don't know what we're going to find on the inside here" Imma guess.... Spider Graveyard?
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.
I'm glad the video helped you and you got everything back together!
Never use hot glue.
Any particular reason you wouldn't?
That vacuum isnt very good.
No. No it is not lol. It was like 15 bucks. Works fine for dust but definitely met its match with the spider webs.
Any way I could send you my ps2 the fan broke off when I was trying to clean it and i took it to a shop they soldered it but it doesn’t spin anymore
Unfortunately not yet. I'm working on things in the background to change that.
That is definitely a spider excrement. They poop and pee also.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮
What thermal pads did you use? And will they fit all ps2 phat?
They are just an assortment of thicknesses I bought as a kit on Amazon a while back for another project. Sorry I didn't pay attention to what sizes they were. I just grabbed them and matched up the thickness. The brand of the ones I used are OwlTree and the thicknesses are .5-2mm.
All those webs and dead spiders, you should have released this on halloween, lol
I wanted to but fell behind on shooting and editing lol. Better late than never I guess!
Wow lots of webs 🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️
Yeah.... I'm his wife and I'm horrified that these things come into our home 😂
At least it wasn't roaches 🙂
Up vote for getting it working but dude... Low melt solder next time
3:06 RIP Headphone users. Well, at least it was spiders inside and not something else. Of course, the systems that are dirty and beat up always tend to work fine while the very nice conditioned ones never seem to work right.
Ooops. My bad. Don't worry. The ringing in your ears should subside in 24 hours 😂 Seriously. But not gonna lie. Dead spiders creep me out. Like the way the legs curl in when they're dead. Weird.... I know right? I'll get a pristine console in with all sorts of issues. In a basement for 20 years and reeks of mold? Works fine lol. I'm about to record one where the disc drive is glued shut. The system works fine otherwise. Boots games just fine lol.
For the power supply I use alcohol and a toothbrush then use an automotive microfiber cloth, and use the toothbrush with the cloth on the board, so that I can brush the alcohol and grime into it.
Interesting. So same theory I'm doing with the paper wipes then it seems.
Great video as always, I'm glad you include things in great detail. I have some old PS2s with very rusty heatsinks and metal shielding. I'm wondering if soaking them in vinegar or electrolysis would work rather than grinding them down. Do you have any thoughts on that idea?
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words ☺️ I say give it a try! At least if you're repainting anyway. The vinegar will likely dull the shiny surface on the top shielding. I've never tried electrolysis but I've seen antique restorers use it to remove rust and paint so I'd imagine it'd work here too. I grind now because I bought those wheels for an unrelated home project and could only get them in like a 200 pack so I'm trying to get rid of them hahahaha. I may move on when I run out of these. It's very messy which is why I do it outside.
@titanrepairs You are doing a great job getting rid of them all so far, I might get them as well haha. Thanks!
What was the reason for fixing the ps2 magnet? What does this solve?
@@ED_62 When the disc drive magnet wears out it'll make a grinding noise when it's spinning the disc, usually blue discs. In this video it caused the disc read error. Using flex seal adds friction back to the disc drive magnet to help it grip the disc again ☺️
@ i currently have an odd issue with my ps2 fat, it won’t read DVDs at all at first but if I give it a while to spin the DVD disc it’ll stop for like a minute or two and then start to spin and read the disc but will read ps1 and blue ps2 games flawlessly, could this magnet fix solve my problem? I’ve tried everything else I could think of to fix the issue. It sounds like the disc drive is just starting and stopping honestly, sometimes they’re clicking as well
Ran into one of these today. I was surprised by solder-less analogs connected with ribbon like the rest of the buttons. They use those rubber gaskets things to keep tight contact between the pins and ribbon. Also I noticed that the 3 pot pins had like corrosion or some type oxidation so maybe that’s why they didn’t stick with this design ?
This is very nice and relaxing to watch
Thank you 😊
When in doubt, pry it out.
Always a valid solution! 😃
Pick looks like one of my clay tools i get from the dollar tree, i always find these little tools like this are helpful for a lot than what theyre made for
Agreed! These picks I got from Harbor Freight for a few bucks. They get the job done 😊
Feels like this pick needs a notch or two at the end but what do I know…
That's actually not a bad idea. They're cheap picks so I can pick up another set to modify and give it a try!
I have an issue with the connection on the controller, with the micro-usb. It always starts getting loose and the cable then easily comes out
Yeah ive been there before
You mean PS30 and ready to settle down?
Considering that DK Oldies never bothers actually trying to fix anything, you can pretty much guarantee that anything they reject can, actually, be repaired.
Agreed. I'm at 100% success right now lol. Sometimes they sell them on their lots just because they're excessively dirty. Editing one video now where the system was full of dead spiders. Aside from that it worked lol. But otherwise it's usually something dumb like a bad laser or burst caps or a stuck disc drive.
Thanks, the wires are so thin that it’s like working with a human hair
Yeah I do remember it being a pain to work with them. Hence the poor electrical tape job 🤣
Brother, when I plug in the HDMI cable the display on the microscope goes black. That means I only see an image on the desktop screen. Can you tell me why?
Hey! I have actually never used the HDMI cable. I just use the built in screen when I'm using it and recording to the SD card. Check the settings. I remember it had some weird options set by default. As far as I know, it should be able to do both simultaneously. But I'm not 100 sure on that.
@titanrepairs Thanks ✌️
How do you keep the two different colored wires from touching after you solder them?
Hey there! This video is so old I had to rewatch it to see what I did to answer your question (also cringed at my production quality back then lol). What I did was fold them in opposing directions and wrapped them in electrical tape. It'll keep them apart. But what I would do now is wrap each individual wire in electrical tape and then wrap both of them together in electrical tape. You can also use heat shrink if you're feeling fancy :)
good video, me likey
Thank you 😊

It certainly sounds like a steal. Thanks for sharing your insight!
@titanrepairs no problem
The issue is usually caused by one capacitor but it never hurts to replace all of them. Preventive maintenance.
Bingo!
Can someone tell me the recommended size caps and how many? I’d like to have these on hand for when my scph-30000 goes!

電源板有個非常重要的零件「電容」 產品設計的再好,用了不該用的電容品牌,壽命大打折扣…
同意。 2000年代,由於電容器瘟疫,故障率很高。當時很多遊戲機都受到了影響。電容器維修是我對這個時代的遊戲機所做的最重要的維修。另外我正在使用翻譯器,所以希望谷歌沒有屠宰它:) Agreed. There was high failure rate in the 2000s due to the capacitor plague. A lot of consoles at the time were affected. Capacitor repairs are the top repair I do of consoles of this era. Also I'm using a translator so hopefully Google didn't butcher it :)
Protect our right to repair!👏🙌👏
I have one like that, which has a very distinct funky odor 😅 I'm putting off work on it lol
I know the exact smell you're talking about. Experienced it many times lol.
Typical Delta power supply. No power is almost always caused by bad caps on them.
But weirdly they made the power supplies for the OG Xbox and there never seem to be issues with them 🤔
That's true for many electronic device made in that era due to the crap cap plague.
So I’ve been kinda over doing it with the sledgehammer then? Dang. 💥 🔨
Absolutely not. A sledgehammer is always an appropriate tool!
