Hey amigo! I don't watch resto vids but I'm a big retro gamer, I was a car detailer and I keep my electronics super clean 🧼 I absolutely love how careful you are w/ every single piece. I saw myself in your video 😅😊Nice kicks in futbol btw ⚽😀
This is beyond just cleaning, the choices of detergents corresponding to different materials, the engineering knowledge behind dissembling and assembling it back. This is professionalism!

You treated that device as if it was the last surviving specimen left on Earth and on its way to go on display behind museum glass. Well done and most importantly..... Thank you.
This restoration is an absolute masterpiece! The attention to detail is beyond incredible - every single piece is restored with such precision and creativity! You can see the insane amount of dedication and care that went into bringing this back to life. The craftsmanship is pure art, and the level of perfection is out of this world! And honestly, ALL of your restorations are on this level-this is just what you do! Every time you restore something, it’s like witnessing magic! You’re consistently on a whole other level! Thank you!

I now understand why restoration and repair services are priced the way they are. Additionally, the level of craftmanship and engineering needed to design consoles with all the parts connected via screws is mind boggling to say the least. Absolute joy to watch this video and you've earned my subscription.
OK... I was impressed already but then at 25:00 where you fixed the broken piece with super glue and sanded it to look as though nothing happened... that was just brilliant!
Your restorations remind me of my favorite restoration channel my mechanics. You both have this quality over quantity thing going on. Can't wait for the next video.
Really agree bro. They both have the same attention to details to make sure the result is incredibly good. I hope this channel can grow faster as My Mechanics.
I honestly love how you save every little part possible. I've seen restorers throwing away pieces of tape to replace them with new ones, but you just use the original and I think that's whats restoring is about, using as much of the original as possible (unless of course it's missing or beyond repair, then you have no choice). Beautifully done!
The amount of detail and work you put into this is absolutely astounding. You took it from looking like it was on its last legs to looking like it is new! I thought it was going to be another one of those scam videos where people take consoles and fake them being dirty and "clean" it, but you CLEANED it! Nicely done! I can't wait to see more!
I have watched a lot of restoration videos. But this is the first i have seen one and have learned new ways to clean consoles and repair them. More of this please.
@@bryanvandyketake everything with a grain of salt. Look up how these channels fake restorations. They basically bury it in dirt, which is easy to clean. I'm not trying to burst your bubble but don't believe everything you see and seriously look up fake restorations.
This is by far the best restoration channel I've found! You've both simultaneously amazed me and ruined any other restoration videos for me because no one can compete with your attention to detail. Looking forward to the next one!
The dedication it takes to make this video is staggering. I know I love watching cleaning videos and things of the like but wow, the time it took to clean just the optical disk drive is far more than I would have had the diligence for. You are the GOAT.
All that effort put in to clean up and re-plate the metal bracket that most people aren't even going to see! It's amazing! I bet this console wasn't this clean when it came out of the factory in 2002! Nice videos, you've earned a sub from me!
my Ps2 fat doesn't work :( , turns on but it doesn't know what model number it is and the drive goes hypersonic on eject. It turned on correctly for the first time in 15 years 2 weeks ago.... only once, drive still didn't read though.
for me, it's the amazement of knowing where everything goes back to... taking it apart is one thing... cleaning is a skill in knowing what chemicals will react properly with what plastics and metals best.. but the putting everything back where it came from... THAT is a whole different level of skill that I know I'll _never_ attain. The entire fixing and cleaning of the boards themselves is.. WOW
I’m in the finance area and I have no idea about electronics, but man this is great! This is a very very professional work!!!!! You know exactly what you’re doing! I really do wish that if only of population are professional like this, how great the world is going to be!
Not only is this an insanely detailed restoration. Not only is this helpful with the different techniques you used for cleaning. But absolute legend for picking the Soul Edge/Calibur game with the best opening.
This channel does restoration for old consoles better than anyone else 100%. The attention to detail and just sheer detail of cleaning aswell, it's ridiculous. Hope to see more in the future like this.
@@TheAbandonedAccount7 I have seen Odd Tinkering, but that channel doesn't do it like this. Mainly just cleans important areas, then retro brights, basic restoration. This channel literally polishes copper ground points, completely restores metal shielding with nickel plating, regreases fan motors and disc drive assemblies, I can literally go on and on. Arguably it doesn't need to be at that level, but the fact it is at that level seperates it from the rest of the channels.
I've watched a ton of restoration videos, but never one as impressive as this. I'm stunned by your attention to detail. Outstanding job, you've set the bar incredibly high! I eagerly await future videos from you.
Soul Edge, that's my jam! I work for an event/party service, and we transport a lot of consoles ...in plastic tubs. Let's see here; 6 Switches, 2 Xbones, a Series S, and 2 PS5s. We just lay/stack them however they fit and lay the controllers and cords in. And we just lay monitors and TVs in the van however they'll fit. Now it's not my place to challenge my boss, I've tried to passively mention carrying racks for the van and zip cases for the tech, but he's pretty cheep and doesn't want to upgrade beyond whatever "works." Half our switch controllers are drifters, an Xbone has a jammed disc drive and only plays the downloaded games. Monitors have scratches on them. HDMI ports are loose. The systems don't look as nasty as that PS2, but they're not getting any cleaner. I went on a cleaning binge and cleaned them all when we had a location-space, but that was years ago. All the tech just goes back to his house after events and sits in his garage. It's utterly embarrassing in my retentive mind, but we do kid and family stuff, so it's not like anyone cares, but when we have broken tech, all I can do is just shake my head in silence and take the generous payouts. Sorry for the rant, just love my entertainment hardware and I don't neglect/abuse it. Thank you for this vid, it was soothing lol.
My friend, you are legendary. This video is so amazing. I have never seen anything like it in my life. I enjoyed every minute of it. You deserve the TH-cam Diamond Shield. I hope your next project is ps3 phat first version
The only thing better than this console, it's just new in box and sealed, impressive, I don't think I've ever seen such a meticulous and complete level of restoration, not only of a console, but of a product in general, congratulations.
I have the privilege of owning this very version. I paid 30 or 35 dlls for it including the vertical stand, it was sold to me as junk. It just needed some service in the DVD drive, and the console was filled with some redish/brownish gunk that smelled funny. I think the original owner was a "smoker" (opium) Also got a white Sega Saturn with it for 15 dlls, also labeled as junk. Just needed a new laser. Great video, it was very satisfying. It will come in handy when I have to service it in the future.
I usually can't stand electronic restoration videos (it is obvious that they put a good/working PCB in a broken/purposefully dirtied case), but this was amazing and it was just a through deep cleaning of a system. No fakery from what I can tell, and was a highly enjoyable video.
What are you smoking this case was 100% purposely dirtied. Who sells something like this without even doing a basic wipe. How is this even transported without a lot of that dust being dislodged. It's 110% doctored up.
@@thestamper You my friend have never worked in a repair shop. I got laptops, desktops, all sorts of shit, that would make your eyes roll over at how dirty they could be, when I worked there.
This is soooo satisfying. I love watching restoration videos, but there's just another level of satisfaction when there's a thorough attention to quality, also seen in how your tools look and are organized. Just *chefs kiss*.
i wish you did less aggressive cuts with video effects because it makes one a bit queasy to watch, but i understand thats a part of your aesthetic. i really dig these kinds of videos and it shows that you put a lot of attention and time into the detail of the work that you do. :)
I could write a book about this video man. Honestly, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m a cleanliness freekazoid just like you and I’m especially careful with older tech that is no longer in production just like you as well. Even though PS2 was sold by the millions, I still hope as many as possible are somehow some way preserved. PS2 era corresponds with my childhood and I have the brightest memories from both the console and the games it had to offer. I don’t even know how many hours I spent on PS2 games in my lifetime, but if we had Steam around to count I’d assume that I would have had like 1000+ hours each in Burnout 3: Takedown, both Champions of Norrath games, and GTA:SA… The sheer amount of effort and care that went into this process is just astounding. This video was a burst of positive emotions for me, because I relived some of the memories I mentioned above while also seeing somebody who is so enthusiastic about these things as well. I thought you were a huge channel by the way, and was surprised to see there were only 3 videos on your channel. Also it’s not like I searched for anything “PS2” or “restoration” related either, this right here is the absolute rarest gem that TH-cam recommendations give you once in a blue moon, almost like an early Christmas present lol
This gives perspective on just how much crazy amount of work goes into making one of these. Halfway through, I expected you to start decomposing parts to clean the atoms!
I came in out of curiosity and seeing that it was a very long video, I said... "I watch it for 10 minutes, I fast-forward it to see how it looks and that's it" and the video was really so hypnotic that without realizing it I watched it completely. Your work is admirable. I would just like to know how much time it took you to complete the entire process. Greetings from Argentina.
You took something that most definitely wasn't functioning at all due to several catastrophic failures and turned it around into something that has a lot of life breathed back into it. And made it quite nice too. Good work! If not already, you have gained me as a subscriber.
Well my friend, my greatest respect. Such a thorough and professional maintenance of electronic equipment I have not yet seen on the Internet. I am very positively impressed. You have set my new standard of professionalism in this field. My warmest regards.
Hello, I am from Iran. I enjoyed your video very much. I don't know which country you are from, but if you were near me, I would definitely bring you my ps2 for repair. The whole time I was watching your video I wanted to fix my ps2 like this and I realized it during the music break. You used to listen to Homayun Shajarian's heavy makeup, which was a source of pride. Finally, thank you for creating your content. I really enjoyed it.
Idk how well I can describe it but this gives the same sense of satisfaction as those animal doctor videos where they sheer animal hooves and clean them up. Like, you know that Ps2 is feeling so much relief and happiness after this
Man cleans so well it restores the warranty

I was already impressed that, like me, you have crazed, OCD like tendencies, but when you touched up the paint on the power switch, my soul smiled.
今まで見てきた中で最高のクリーニング動画でした！🇯🇵
Thank you so much 😊 🤍❤️
Increíble trabajo. Cuanto tiempo debió haberte llevarte hacer este video ufff es un placer ver todo el video. Saludos desde Argentina.
Thank you so much my friend from Argentina 💙🤍💛, it took about a month but not full time
@@RestoFix Excelente sigue así.
🙏🤍💙💛🙏
This is soooo satisfying. I love watching restoration videos, but there's just another level of satisfaction when there's a thorough attention to quality, also seen in how your tools look and are organized. Just *chefs kiss*.
BRAZIL MENTIONED!
Of course 💚💛💙
The girl from ipanema will be happy.
Brazil 🇧🇷 let's go! greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 friends
i wish you did less aggressive cuts with video effects because it makes one a bit queasy to watch, but i understand thats a part of your aesthetic. i really dig these kinds of videos and it shows that you put a lot of attention and time into the detail of the work that you do. :)
U are right and I will do in the next video 🙏🤍💙
Wish you could clean my PS4 it's rotten and you are amazing at what you do , love the videos brother ❤ subbed ❤
Damn, its in better shape now than when it was first purchased
That reminds me; I probably have to dig my own PS2 out of mothballs and clean the hell out of it too.
Now, that's true restoration!...props to you!!.......I was wondering.... how long did it took you to finish this job?
Glad you enjoyed 🤍💙, it took about a month but not full time,
@RestoFix Honestly, there's not a lot of people that would do a job like yours!! Amazing restoration...it practically looks brand new.
Thank you Bro, it is encouraging u say that 💙
I have never seen anyone restore a device with such precision and professionalism. It is unbelievable and deserves all respect from Algeria.
Top! You are the best my friend!
You are the best Bro🤍💙😉
55:14 It’s all worth it just for *this* moment! 🎼🎶🎵🙂↕️ Ahhh…😌
I was literally about to type the same thing! Ohh them sounds, take me back to some joyful times!
You just know that PS2 was so happy once it turned back on, doing gods work out here man!
Where was this console? It's so dusty and dirty it makes me think it was in some garage or storage area for years. Fantastic job with the restoration!
thank you so much, I bought it from a game console serviceman, I don't know how did he had kept it 💙🤍
My N64 looked woree than that, and all it did was sit under the telly in the spare room for ten years. Dust gets everywhere, and it loves electronics.
the equivalent of blowing into Nintendo cartridges
The most soothing I've watched all week. Highly impressed and wish I was back in 2003 reliving the glory years
0:12 and thats a broken fan
15:25 Filling motors with IPA will remove all the remaining grease. Not sure how long it will last for.
I have greased it but didn't record unfortunately 🙏🙏🙏💙🤍
This really gives you an appreciation for the hardware. It seems so simple but it’s actually such a complicated and impressive device.
55:24 That Cut! 🤔
that effect means the cd is not running and the logo at the end is not ps2. So the games graphics are more like ps1 than ps2
Wtf happened to the PS2 it looks defeated depleted and deleted 0:34 jokes aside bro you need to be hired by someone
I could write a book about this video man. Honestly, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m a cleanliness freekazoid just like you and I’m especially careful with older tech that is no longer in production just like you as well. Even though PS2 was sold by the millions, I still hope as many as possible are somehow some way preserved. PS2 era corresponds with my childhood and I have the brightest memories from both the console and the games it had to offer. I don’t even know how many hours I spent on PS2 games in my lifetime, but if we had Steam around to count I’d assume that I would have had like 1000+ hours each in Burnout 3: Takedown, both Champions of Norrath games, and GTA:SA… The sheer amount of effort and care that went into this process is just astounding. This video was a burst of positive emotions for me, because I relived some of the memories I mentioned above while also seeing somebody who is so enthusiastic about these things as well. I thought you were a huge channel by the way, and was surprised to see there were only 3 videos on your channel. Also it’s not like I searched for anything “PS2” or “restoration” related either, this right here is the absolute rarest gem that TH-cam recommendations give you once in a blue moon, almost like an early Christmas present lol
This thing must be even cleaner than when it came from the factory. Holy hell, the attention to the details. Absolutely phenomenal work!
This gives perspective on just how much crazy amount of work goes into making one of these. Halfway through, I expected you to start decomposing parts to clean the atoms!
I've cleaned out loads of consoles in the past but never to this extent, the amount of detail and depth that went into this is fantastic.
I came in out of curiosity and seeing that it was a very long video, I said... "I watch it for 10 minutes, I fast-forward it to see how it looks and that's it" and the video was really so hypnotic that without realizing it I watched it completely. Your work is admirable. I would just like to know how much time it took you to complete the entire process.
Greetings from Argentina.
This is in my opinion the highest level of master cleaning !!!!! I never seen someone restore completely everything !
You took something that most definitely wasn't functioning at all due to several catastrophic failures and turned it around into something that has a lot of life breathed back into it. And made it quite nice too. Good work!
If not already, you have gained me as a subscriber.
I'm sure I heard that playstation at the end crying an saying " Thankyou ! " before you turned it on .. Bless it ! Elite class cleaning .. applauds !
This is unbelievable!
Excellent restoration!
Congratulations from Brazil!
Man applying fresh tape to the labels is serious dedication, this must have taken ages. I tip my hat to you sir
the amount of detail and attention he puts into it is incredible, even the screw was cleaned, Good Restoration
Dude, any compliments you might get to your work will pale in comparison to what you actually did here! holy sh*t! amazing! Keep it up.
"Thank you so much for the kind words! That’s such a heartwarming compliment, I don’t think I deserve it, but I really appreciate it!"
Well my friend, my greatest respect. Such a thorough and professional maintenance of electronic equipment I have not yet seen on the Internet. I am very positively impressed. You have set my new standard of professionalism in this field. My warmest regards.
Dude, it's really the most beautiful model of the PS2. I love watching your work. Hi from Brazil.
diese sounds beim start... flashbacks ans jung sein..unvergessen! love it!
Hello, I am from Iran. I enjoyed your video very much. I don't know which country you are from, but if you were near me, I would definitely bring you my ps2 for repair. The whole time I was watching your video I wanted to fix my ps2 like this and I realized it during the music break. You used to listen to Homayun Shajarian's heavy makeup, which was a source of pride. Finally, thank you for creating your content. I really enjoyed it.
بابک جان سلام، خوشحالم از ویدیو خوشت اومد، اگه ایران بودم حتما کنسولتو برات صفر میکردم، هر وقت برگردم یک کنسول صفر طلبم داری داداش 😉🤍💙
@@RestoFixفدای محبتو مرامت امید وارم هرکجا که هستی سلامتو شاد باشی بهت افتخار میکنم داداش
عزیز دلی
Whatever retro consoles I find, I want this guy to restore them. Excellent and thorough cleaning. Great work!
Idk how well I can describe it but this gives the same sense of satisfaction as those animal doctor videos where they sheer animal hooves and clean them up. Like, you know that Ps2 is feeling so much relief and happiness after this
The greatest console to ever exist
The term "Goat" was specifically made for the PS2 🐐
This video satisfies like 10 different subreddits, so many awesome things to appreciate in this, you did a wonderful job friend
Brazilian here! Wish out soccer team played like you did in the end. Incredible work man! Been hypnotised watching each detail 😅
