22 Year Old PlayStation 2 Lube Job | Good As New!

- I'm sure after 22 years of playing on your PlayStation2 (PS2) console it starts to show some wear. In this video you'll find that this PS2's tray is not opening and closing smoothly.
It took roughly 5 minutes to lubricate the PS2 tray rod to fix the issue. It's a simple fix! Since we had the PS2 open I went ahead and lubricated the laser rods as well.

This makes me feel at ease, and confident I can do this.
I’m glad to see that! I’m all about educating people on how to DIY. 😄
Guan did a good job
Great video! My PS2 badly needed the laser guide rails and worm gear lubed up. Never opened it in 20+ years and it was making a terrible sound when loading off the disc and during games. Sounds brand new now thanks to you!
That’s awesome! I love reading comments like these. I’m glad you found this video helpful. 😄
Hi Great video. I have the same model you worked on. I have been through several screw drivers but haven't been able to find one that can open the DVD drive cover. Which screwdriver did you use for that?
Amazing clear shots of the steps you took, you are great 👍
I appreciate that! I hope it was helpful. 😁
I bought a ps2 second hand over a year ago and I had to fix it recently to try and get the disc tray to eject and clean the laser (it still doesn't work sadly) and after watching this video I'm noticing a lot of differences between your ps2 and mine, one of the screws was a different screw than the rest and is silver, the ps2 didn't have the ribbon cables connecting to the power/eject buttons and my disc tray cover only has 2 screws holding it in.
Hearing the difference between when you started the video and after applying the grease is like night and day, that's amazing, that is going to make the buyer of this console extremely happy for sure.
You’re absolutely right. When I first started fixing PS2 consoles, I noticed immediately there were different models. Some models I favorite over others. It’s like PlayStation was tweaking each model to make them easier to repair.
Every time I purchase a PS2, I completely take it apart, clean it, and replace parts, if need be to make sure it is like new. It’s like giving them a tuneup. Lol
I want people to feel like they’re getting a quality product regardless of how old it is. 😁
The ps2 50000 has this.
thank you for having real standards on what you sell to people, i bought mine from a seller saying the console had "normal wear" and the system came with a demolished top lid and bad drive belt
I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I want everyone who buys from me to have the confidence knowing I actually took my time with every console I sell.
Thank you for the tutorial, made it super easy to do it myself :)
No problem! I’m glad to hear it was easy to follow along.
So smooth, it's orgasmic.
@@gam85191 haha, that’s a great way to describe it.
Thanks! I don't play PS2 often, but when I do I want the cd drawer to open and close smoothly. The underside of the tray was a bit different on mine. But after some trial and error I got it lined up properly.
That’s great to hear! I’m glad it worked out. 😄
Great job love the video!
Thanks abnerrodriguez7954!
Awesome. I just needed to see what kinda grease i needed, JUST now ordering it from Amazon, itll be here tomorrow. I knew exactly what my issue was. The tear down will definitely be helpful though
Awesome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Best of luck to you. :D
@juanquinones and its alot smoother now! 👌
@@lovelorn88nick Awesome!!
I love what you do too brother.
Thanks! I appreciate that. 😄
Great video! I was able to get it taken apart and lubed up. It is def better than it was but the disc drive tray still struggles a bit when it gets about midpoint when opening. I am thinking it may be the motor rather than the rails. Regardless, it def needed the grease. 2 out of the 3 rails had no grease whatsoever.
Whoa! Yeah, it definitely sounded like the rails needed some grease if they were bone dry. I’m glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for dropping a comment. I love reading comments like these. 😁
Thanks a lot ❤
@@jdi1979 You’re welcome!
I remember a later model PS2 fat that I bought that made that noise brand new, out of the box. I also bought one on launch day that didn't make that noise.
Really! Someone missed a step at the factory lol.
Just so everyone is clear, Lithium grease is a Petroleum based grease. Google lithium based greases and you will read about how it can deteriorate rubber and plastics. A lot of RC guys use red n tacky and I have even read the lucas marine stuff. I read one account of the white lithium each the rubber and plastic of a guys rc car. I wouldn't recommend using the grease in the video, unless the bottle states it's base is non petroleum based. Some if not all lithium grease is petroleum based, so do not assume lithium means no petroleum.
Thanks for commenting!
I am going to do this to my ps2. When playing resident evil 3 on my ps2 every now an then it sounded like the laser was getting stuck or skipping on the track. I am going to do the rods and grease any gears I see. Basically any part there is movement/friction will get the LUBE JOB!!
Good Luck! :D
very clear, thanks! was there a reason you chose not to grease the worm screw, on the right side of the shafts? also, how important is it to clean the laser?
No problem! The worm screw was already lubricated but it’s a great idea to lubricate it if there is nothing there. I would only recommend cleaning the laser if the PS2 is having a hard time reading discs.
This was a great video! Is there an alternative to the white lithium grease?
No, most other types of grease contain petroleum.
I have a PS2 on the way as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I intend to check to see if it needs cleaning and lubing. I saw the white lithium grease you used. What are good products to use both internally and externally for a thorough cleaning? Thanks and great video.
Congratulations! Some good products to use isopropyl alcohol, Q-tips, white lithium grease, microfiber cloth, and a toothbrush. A little dawn soap to clean the plastic housing once you have everything taken apart. Good luck and thanks! 😄
@@juanquinones much appreciated. Thank you. Merry Christmas!
@@SliceofRife Merry Christmas!
Good
Thanks!
My ps2 used to make that noise too, so did a few others I’ve seen. I guess it’s wear and tear
Yeah, the grease on them eventually wears off.
My PS2 fat makes the noise like that too only when opening the disc drive though but I don’t feel confident in doing this myself
Mayne you know someone who could help.
I have a Hyperkin Retron 5 that the controllers and cartridges go in and come out with difficulty. I picked up some dielectric grease. I have never used it before and still haven't because i don't want to use the wrong product. What would be your suggestion and what product to use for the cartridge slot as well as the controller ports??
That’s a great comment. I looked up the Hyperkin Retron 5 since I’ve never heard of it before. Sounds like the moulding was designed to be a tight fit. I would not recommend putting any grease in the cartridge slot or controller ports. I’m not too sure what to use in your case.
Do you notice more framerate stability when cleaning up old dried up grease and applying new white lithium grease?
I don’t but good question.
First of all, thank you so much for making this video!! I was able to do this with no problem following your video step-by-step. Unfortunately in doing so I wasn’t careful enough and the eject/power ribbon got disconnected from the system itself. Do I have to buy a new ribbon cable? Even though I still have the ribbon cable, but the blue part of it is off. I was wondering how disassembled it has to be. Would I be in danger of getting electrocuted from reconnected it? I’ve never had A PS2 before
No worries! I’m glad you found the video helpful. In theory, as long as the clips did not break and the cable is still in good condition you should be able to reuse the cable.
Thanks for your help!
@@marshaw6366 Thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. 😁
The store sold me my ps2 for dirt cheap because it made grinding nose but still worked amazing lol
That’s awesome! I’m glad you got a good deal.
Also, used this as a tutorial cuz I got 39001 too and it worked!@@juanquinones
@@juanquinones also would 3 in 1 oil work too? Plus thanks for selling actual good products to people. Unlike others ahem, *DKOldies* who sell “cosmetically flawed” things that I would definitely not want to store on my shelf :) I subscribed.
@@Sonicspite Thanks for the sub! Yes, I definitely take pride in what I do. I personally have not used 3 in 1 oil before. I trust the grease I use in the video. Other products have a tendency to dry out the plastic.
@@juanquinones okay.
Awesome video! 😁👍👍 I appreciate you for going into such a high level of detail and thoroughness. 😄👌
In terms of the frequency or how often one should re-applying the lithium grease to the laser rails and the disc tray would you suggest doing this only when you hear any kind of gnarly grinding noise? 🎮🪛💦📀
Cheers to you! 🥃🥃
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. 😆 I would recommend applying the lithium grease only when you begin to hear a noise. You can also apply the lithium grease if you feel the disc tray is skipping while opening.
I think they fix that problem on the 50001 mode
Nice!
Do you have any advice with a 39001 model reading ps1, and Blue disc slowly? Once the games boot they work flawlessly but when i first put the disc in or boot the console my PS2 39001 takes approximately 20 to 30 seconds to boot the game. 'Loads the DVD ps2 games just fine instantly within a few seconds
Once it loads the ps1 or blue discs it plays the games just fine, not sure if thats normal for a 39001 model, bought this at a local retro game store
I’ve seen that many times before. The laser needs to be replaced. Fairly easy to do but the laser is kind of expensive.
@juanquinones aah got ya, so eventually it'll just stop working all together? Calibration won't do much? Do you know of which Lazer is the best one to get for the 39001? I probably won't replace it right away. Hell it could last another 5 years for all I know LOL. It made it this far
@@lovelorn88nick It will keep working for a long time. As long as you don’t mind waiting for the discs to load. Calibration never worked for me. I tried all kinds of remedies but replacing the laser is what always worked. The lasers are all the same brand if I’m not mistaken. Enjoy it until it finally stops working then fix it lol.
I just got a model 50001/N for my birthday, it makes sounds like a clock ticking while playing a game…what should I do?
@@Matty_Ice87 Hmm… don’t take my word for it but that sounds like the disc reader/laser or motor. Hard to tell without actually seeing it for myself.
@@juanquinones I understand, I appreciate you taking time to respond to me. I wish I had a way to send you a video I made of it doing it earlier
Hey i got a question my disk tray works fine no noise but it opens kinda slow would this fix it?
It may help a little bit but it sounds like the disk tray motor may need to be replaced.
@@juanquinonesthank you for your response I'll try to lube it up and if that doesn't work I'll replace the motor
@@josethefatty5213 No problem and best of luck repairing it! 😄
Mine dose that to could it cause the disc tray to break eventually? Just wondering
No, the disk tray shouldn’t break. They last a long time.
OK just had to ask since mine dose the same thing of the one u had fixed in the video so thanks for the answer
@@user-jf4zf6fp6t No problem! 😄
My PS2's tray closes itself if I don't help it a little bit by slightly pushing it up when it comes out... Could it be the ribbon?
@@sailent4825 Sounds like the track, rod, or motor. If it were me, I would check that first. It’s hard to troubleshoot without actually seeing it.
Hi! Can I use the Super Lube 21030 ?
Great question! I would personally stick with Lucas Oil 10533 White Lithium Grease.
I add a lot of lube and it still clicks and makes the sound when you open the tray but only once
Hmm… sounds like it could he something else. Perhaps there is some plastic catching another piece? Hard to tell without seeing it. Hope you find a solution to fix the noise.
@@sessamyseasoning8315 It's not the laser making that noise in this video but the plastic tray skipping on the metal tracks.
@@sessamyseasoning8315 dust, dirt, or even no grease at all.
@@sessamyseasoning8315 Ah okay. As long as it had some grease it should be fine.
@@sessamyseasoning8315 👍🏼
