A coworker gave me his ps2 because it was "broken", plugged in my house follow your video and boom!!! Working perfectly fine. Thank you so much for this video man.
Thats awesome. i've been thinking of upgrading from the YPBPR cable to some sort of Hdmi. is that the Brand Name you're Using "HD Retrovision"? i'll have to look in to that. Thanks for stopping in.
Since my last comment, I have purchased and Hdmi to ps2 adapter and the picture is a lot clearer and less pixilated. Makes for a more pleasurable game play.
What a guy! My son and I picked up a ps2 today and after playing it a little while he calls me in as the screen is black. He'd been messing in the settings and must have changed the display mode. Thanks for this, life saver!
I had bought official ps2 component cables cheap off eBay three years ago. I stumbled on this video and remembered so I plugged them in, followed instructions, and it’s working. Thank you for making video.
I was having trouble connecting my PS2 once I had accidentally changed the video resolution. I was changing from component cables to a PS2 to HDMI converter. Since i had to flip between tv inputs and such, I couldn't remember how to actually get to the video interface of the PS2. Needless to say, your steps worked out perfectly, and the video screen worked. Now I'm getting a smoother, clearer picture, and I'm glad I came across your video. Thank you!
My man! Worked on the PS Slim. Thought this thing was done for. Had nice old school monster component cables, went through your steps and the picture came back!! Thank you, sir!
OH SHOOT IT WORKED!! I actually have a Japanese PS2 , and I tried the original steps but it didn’t work. Saw a comment and thought I’d try to mash the O button instead of the x. IT WORKED 😭 DUDE, YOU JUST SAVED SO MANY PEOPLE!
Dude is legend. Thank you for this video. I just booted up my old buddy and got that screen. Did this thing with buttons and baaaam old buddy started like a charm! Buddy hope you will get a nice life and have a cold beer this weekend lov u
If it didn't work for you try pressing Circle instead of X if you have a Japan or other region console. Also try different PS1/PS2 controllers or video cables as well
My daughter was playing ps1 mosnters inc on my ps2 and said daddy its not working. So i thought my compnent cable i just got went bad after just a few weeks of use. Dig around and find the old r/y/w av cable and no luck. Still no signal. Thinking my ps2 was dead, i almost put it in storage. But i said there has to be somthing up. Tried this video on a whim. BOOM! FIXED MY SHISHHH!!!. Thank you for the video!!!! #legendarygamer
Thank you bro not only did you fix the no signal but also fixed a big problem when I played my ps2 on my new tv with component cables the screen was purple but this tutorial fixed that
Bro you are the fucking best. I have my ps2 inactive for a long for this black screen, i prove EVERYTHING and finally i solve the problem, thank you again, one million times
As if I haven’t learned my lesson from doing the same mistake somehow on my AIO Dell computer, this video has prevented a rage that is as powerful as a thousand cosmic nebulas to which would have been unleashed on everything my room should I have not found this video. Thank you for preventing a stupid decision that I made the first time. ( I have anger issues and couldn’t cope with the fact I changed the setting and couldn’t change it back)
I see that this method works for everyone, but my screen says "no signal" no matter what I do. I've tried different outputs, tried different TVs, tried different composite cables I had. I even bought this PS2 to HDMI converter. Literally nothing helps... The thing is I can hear the audio when I use the original PS2 composite cables, which makes me think that something is wrong with my console's videochip (which is strange, since I've played it before moving about 2-3 years ago). Internally it looks perfect. No dust even. I just want to have a nostalgia trip but I can't find any advice on the internet :(
@@wafflesmelvexy8915 a little update: I did manage to get the image working (but only with PS2 to HDMI adapter, not composite cables). I've sprayed some sanitizer spray with alcohol (not too much) in the AV port on the back side of the console, since I could't properly disassemble the port and clean the dust, Then I've waited an hour or two just to be sure it dried off, plugged everything back to the console console and did the method shown in the video. Then, to my honest suprise, I finally saw the PS2 menu. So I could say that your console may have the same problem with too much dust in the AV port. Try looking at it and see if it's dirty or not. Unfortunately, PS2 is a very old console and, even though it's still going strong, it does have some issues on the techincal side. Something may be wrong with the cables too. By the way, PS2 to HDMI adapter (at least the one I bought) is horrible and I wouldn't suggest getting it. Try to get the image working with composite or at least component. No input lag and resolution is a lot better. Good luck!
It worked, play this vid at 0.25 speed and follow the instructions, it didn't worked with the X button for me but when I tried with the O worked, so do the steps but try all buttons till it works
i have problem in my ps2 FAT won't accept any controller , the controller work good on ps2 slim but on the Fat no, any solution , when i put the controller it switched to right all the time and stayed like that
If it still doesn’t work, that means your TV is too old. I tried everything and my last resort was getting a new TV for those that are frustrated and can’t get this to work. I just saved your life.
the problem i have is that when i turn it on it boots up fine but i get a blue screen and i can hear the audio just fine i have the slim so i dont have the power switch on the back of the console like the fat does, how do i power it off and do i do the same button combinations on the slim?
If this is your problem then it should work on the slim as well just fine . Try the button combinations slow, and if your screen doesn’t come back on it might be something else. Bad AV cable, or something internal. Thanks for stopping in.
@@handicamper101 so it turns out all i did was unplug the power cord for a few seconds then plugged it back in turned the console on then it took me to the configuration menu and i was able to change the component video the correct video source, i did the button combinations but it wasnt working so i started plugging everything out hoping it would reset the console which it did, and now im able to play my games again, anyway thanks for your help man, im able to play my games again
u know by anychance how to get my samsung LCD tv load 480P progressive scan mode? it runs the 480i with no problem but when it comes to pscan it flickers and shit runing component cable aswell with the right ypcr setting enabled realy wierd tried it with my grand moms old LCD tv it ran the Pscan with no issue my tv is abit newer than hers like 1 model higher still dosnt work i tried service menu options played around with the YC Delay fuked it even more dont know what to do maybe get a component to hdmi adapter or sth
thats weird. if you're having that kind of issue i would just opt for one of the hdmi adapters. you can get them pretty cheap on eBay, or amazon. thanks for dropping in.
Mine is not working. I have an RCA tv, and none of the inputs work. Got the av cable with yellow video and red/white inputs and when connected to tv all I get is a blue screen with 2 letter text on top that switches back and forth (TV/SV). Tried the combination in the video but still nothing.
Hi there, thanks for the video. I tried this on my PS2, but it changed from no signal to say the resolution was not supported. Am I missing something? Thanks.
It turns out that the ps2 bios doesnt like the adaptor, when i tried it with its recommended plugs it immediately worked, any ps2 made in 2006 or higher will Not work with the adaptor
My brothers old slim ps2 brings the PlayStation logo up but then goes to no signal I can’t fix it. I tried the av to hdmi but it’s really dark so I don’t want to play it like that
@@handicamper101no it’s on the other one but I did try both. My brother has an ONN av to hdmi output and I’m thinking that’s why it’s so dark, maybe it’s just because it’s old idk. I’m trying to play the original Resident Evil 2 but it’s too dark
What's become apparent in gamer nerd-world is how many videos there are about this "no signal" and "black screen" issue when attempting to connect a 10-15-year-old PS2 console to HDMI ports. It's pretty much a backward-compatibility issue as newer hi-def TVs don't have AV (RGB) ports. The makers of converter "dongles" haven't in general informed about the relatively simple task of changing your PS2's video output from RGB to Composite mode. So thanks there are videos which explain it in simpler terms.
I just got a PS2 today and the console has no signal and I have a wireless controller and I did what you did but I don’t know if it works on there and the AV cable, but I don’t know if that’s the problem or the console itself
So this didn’t help me but for some reason when I plugged in another av cable it came up on rbg and then I changed it, maybe this will help someone
great tip. thank you for sharing this, and thanks for stopping by.
this worked for me! thanks!

Can confirm, this was the only thing which worked. Probably depends on your model/revision of PS2.
A coworker gave me his ps2 because it was "broken", plugged in my house follow your video and boom!!! Working perfectly fine. Thank you so much for this video man.
That is awesome. Glad it worked👍👍. Thanks for stopping by.
Literally worked and saved me from buying a new PS2. Using hdretrovison cables on 4k tv and looks and plays amazing

Better than Component Cables???

Again? Lol. Glad it worked

Funny how the kaico manual says go right in the end. Not left.
How do I get out of system configuration tho? Everytime I turn it on it goes right to there and won’t let me play the game
In my case my PS2 in turns green whenever i play like 5 or 10min and it becomes more green and im using AV cables😣
