Shout-out to the PS2's hair growth @ 12:02 😂 I honestly expected FAR worse for a ~20 year old console that's never been cleaned and survived not only mine and my brothers' grimy hands but also a category 5 hurricane.
You've inspired me to clean my PS2. Unless I'm missing it completely, I didnt see any links for the McBoot.
Have you ever thought about branding your own pc cleaning tools?
Where's the info on the extras you put into the PS2? I can't see it in the description😢
Your link for the cordless vacuum don't work. And when I go to Amazon to look it up. I can't find it. What would be another good vacuum.
There is a slide in the cd tray you can push down and it ejects while off. Also you can use alcohol on that lazer have done it many times.
Weve had ours for probably 20 years. Still works like a charm. One of the greatest and iconic console in history. The cleaning is so satisfying in all the dc playlists
Thanks for watching! More to come :-)
Ps5: "dust is scary"
@@GregSalazar uhhh the PS2. When gaming was so fun and simple, no micro transactions and no season passes. Almost Every game you buy is a complete and finished product.
Such a good console, enjoyed a lot of games back in its prime. Nice job cleaning!
Thanks for watching!
My PS2 still gets plenty of love, it gets used to play Buzz Jr. Jungle Party every time my nieces & nephews come to visit, The Best Game Ever on any Platform
it actually seems like very small amount of people know that you can add drop of oil to the fan bearings from the back side or by pulling the hub off (if possible in first place). I have fixed multiple fans by doing that. Last time I did it with noisy PS3 fan, it had good old ball bearings there so they just needed grease. That thing started to spin way easier and the fan itself was quieter. I have done that to GPU fans as well but those usually have sleeve bearings so once that bearing is worn, it's not going to turn brand new by adding oil/grease but in this instance it gave me few days to source new fans for it
Tbh I have had several apart, including my own and this was surprisingly clean for it's age.. I am glad yours has held up quite well over the years. the ps2 was indeed a thing of beauty... kudos to the homebrew community for extending the life of this machine.
You're quickly becoming my favorite TH-camr. You seem to honest, humble, and kind. Such a breath of fresh air.
i work for a company that sells used/like new video game consoles and accessories, i work in the repair department, and this is the console that i have mostly mastered in repairing! cool video!
Before having an actual gaming PC I didn't realize how dirty it can get inside tech. Cleaned our OG Xbox One and replaced the dead HDD recently and for a relatively new console it was filthy in there! Cleaning tech out is super therapeutic!
Gotta say, I've cleaned out PS2s half that thing's age, which were at least 10 times worse. Some things I found in some old consoles over the years, were actually mind boggling, how they got inside them in the first place.
That thing looked rather admirable for a console two decades old. 😆 Looked great when you finished it up though. Nicely done.
21:42 bro the way he said attack my legs was funny 🤣
One of the most iconic designs for any console!
After your recommendatioon I bought the Levoit 300s and here in my flat right in the middle of the city (where it gets especially dusty) it is truly a blessing. And nice video as always ^^
I deep cleaned my brother's N64, and there was a qtip and a fortune from a fortune cookie inside lol. Favorite moment from any deep cleaning.
As dad of 3, the thing with kids.. its actually best for them to get down and dirty and be exposed to a great variety of all kinds dirt and bugs, as it will pay out in long term, fortifying their immune system, making them rugged and healthy. :)
Yep. There have been quite a lot of studies showing that kids who grew up in overly clean or near sterile homes tend to have far more medical issues when they get older like asthma and other respiratory issues.
PS2 consoles can play GTA San Andreas.
This was so satisfying to watch. This takes me back 20 years to when I got my PS2 console. It's still my personal favourite console to this day. I have some great memories playing Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3.
Great video as usual Greg :), usually it's good practise to also re-grease the disc drive lens rail as the grease usually ends up dried up and caked in dust over the years but isn't completely necessary if the lens is reading okay.
So satisfying to watch these deep-cleaning videos, it's really rewarding at the end of it. Keep up the Deep-Cleaning venture. 😎👍
After watching this video I ordered that tool kit. It just arrived and I like it! The magnet is really strong so no more struggles with tiny screws!
Time to get my snacks and some drink and sit down for another entertaining deep clean... keep them going, very entertaining and satisfying watching these deep cleans. :) Thank you!
Much appreciated!
I'm still waiting for the Deep Clean episode when he opens it up and a palmetto bug pops out. I've seen one, ugh! 😁
Love the consoles gettin cleaned !
I like the updates you've gone through with this console, I'd enjoy seeing more upgrades again :D
Haha I love seeing some retro stuff on this channel. I hope someone brings you an Apple II or Amiga to clean!
thats actually surprisingly clean... mine was like x10 that .... it was groooossssss
The Levoit Core 300 is an AMAZING air filter. I love it. Run it 24/7 on medium and the filter gets NASTY after about a month with two cats.
I live in Northern California and just one Core 300 in a 1 bedroom apartment on medium setting was enough to keep the wildfire smoke at bay last year. Having clean air to breathe is obviously super important.
My parent's PS2 is just about as old as me. Maybe by a year. I think I was 4 or 5 when I started getting into games like Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy X, and Kingdom Hearts... Really great memories but it just doesn't boot up properly anymore. I'll have to follow this video if I want a chance at reliving the nostalgia someday. lol
Awesome job! There's a latch under the disc tray that you can slide to the right to force open the drive. Just need to slide it back to the left before you use the drive 🙂
Awesome Job !! looks super clean
Loved my PS2 back in the day, need to dig it out one day :D
This hit me right in the nostalgia bone, made me dig mine out from under the sofa to see how much dirt was in it. That toolkit is so worth it!
I love your cleaning videos. They are so calming! Would you consider doing PDC (Phones Deep Cleaning / Repairing?)?
I'm surprised yours was so clean. When I did my PS4, it had huge dust bunnies in there. Can't wait to see if you get a retro one where age affects the outside and what you do with that.
Oh my lordy I loved the PS2! I had one that I found that was tossed out with a huge box of gaming stuff at my friend's storage place. Took it, it had that famous disc error which I quickly fixed and ran my favorite game on it Burnout Revenge! You do realize, Greg since this is your PS2 it has hair in it while you were passing through puberty lol! Great episode, thanks for the memories!
Good Job on cleaning it buddy!
Tetris Plus was my mom's favorite game before she died. I was so pleasantly surprised to see it in your ps2! Glad to see it still brings fam's together!
My mom got us into the same game. We still occasionally play it at their house. Thanks for sharing that. Hope all is well.
Nice video - good job on the cleaning.
Oh thanks, Greg, way to make the Elder Millennials feel ancient. I bought my PS2 when I was 19, fresh out of USMC Boot Camp... Back when they were still fairly new.
A classic console that also was my go to in my teen years, ya love to see it.
Memory lane - takes me back to high school playing GTA 3 and Gran Turismo 4. Funny tid bit, I used to hide my ganja in the expansion bay from the parents. 20 years later, the PS2 is sitting on a shelf as a display piece and now the parents are taking CBD for their joint pains, asking me about gummies. 😅
Keep up the great work! Love you channel.
You should do a small form factor PC build in the NR200!
Damn....love the PS2. Was going to high school that same here when this thing came out. Seeing this makes me want to clean out my fat PS2 now since I haven't cleaned it since getting mine lol.
Maybe we will see a PS1 (my personal favorite system of all time) or Gamecube too.
I'd love a chance to clean a grimy PS1 or GameCube. OGs right there.
I have a Levoit Core 300 in my room and its awesome it really cuts down on the dust in my pc
Oh man so many good memories with the ps2, great video as always 👍🏻👍🏻
YESSSSS Greg! I literally did the same to my PS2 recently, cleaning and freemcboot and the ssd
The best console of all time. :) I deep-clean mine also about once a year.
Crazy that the ps1 and 2 still run after 20 years true testament too being so well built
You're not kidding about the PSU having the power to kill you, when I was younger I took appart an old digital camera to try and repair it, thinking there was no electricity left without batteries I put my thumb on whatever powers the flash and it discharged everything it had left. The skin on my thumb became white and peeled off instantly. Somehow the camera started working again after I had enough courage to put it back together
I had until only recently my “OG” PS, PS1, PS2 Slim, PS3Slim (all working with about 15-20 games per console) but I cleaned house as they hadn’t been used them in about 3 years. I still have my PS4 but my gaming has been PC mainly for a loooong time.
It's better to vacuum suck out the dust than merely blowing it everywhere!
Ifixit sponsor this man already with all things he fixes. Give him a proper tool kit. XD
That Console was pretty dang clean for how old it is, must have and still do as an adult, keep your home impeccably clean.
Good video brother I really enjoyed it.
I really want to send you my Xbox 360. Had it since 2006, last turned it on was 2009 until last weekend I dug it out and still works beautifully. It's loud so I'm sure dust bunnies made there way inside, but it's a childhood relic. Still have my original copy of Halo 3 day one release. I'm in Tampa.
PS2 was pure RPG gold!
I was taking apart my ps2 slim yesterday and swapping out the laser and found some other underlining issues the power button fell off so i have to re-solder it. But other than that I was genuinely surprised how clean it was after 20 years lol
I cleaned my old ps3 last summer and I also expected so much worse than it was. The good thing was getting to replace the thermal paste though :)
i still have a ps2 slim. still works but seems to have a faulty drive sadly. so not sure can do much with it without a functional drive. wouldn't mind giving it for a fix or flop but kinda far away so kinda out of the question. still nice to see and oldie be cleaned and still in good use
I was hoping to be your 800,000th sub, but I'll help it along. Congrats ahead of time.
You have great content
Greg - there is also an HD-based version of Free MCBoot called HDBoot. That way it's all on the SSD and no more memory card is needed exclusively for that boot thing.
I had one of the PS2's that had issues with the Optical sensor for the Disk. Initially Sony had a warranty on it where they would clean it and that worked for a few years, but then they said that I would have to pay for cleaning. At that time I started disassembling the PS2 and cleaning it myself.
You can bring just about any disc back to life with just sandpaper and polishing compound. The data is stored on the label which is practically just a foil sheet adhered to the plastic. The plastic itself does nothing but I guess protect the data. The scratch is make it to where the laser can't read the foil.
That looks like my PS2 that I recently put into a box, only mine is slim. I should probably clean it out at one point.... *silently goes back to the PS5* I know that probably shouldn't be my attitude with old systems but I can't help it at this point lol.
Very cool!
Yay!!!! GCDC!!
Great video.. I had a moment of nostalgia seeing this.. I am having regrets why I sell my PS2 back in my day..
this and the slim ps3 are my favorite to deep clean. idk why buts always a good time.
I did mine last week!! :)
Flicking the power switch on the back a few times (before dissassembly) should discharge the internal power board.
1:13 Remember when everyone was talking about the roaring 20s around when 2020 started
Yo i love ur deep cleaning videos been watching for a while now i just got me a ps2 phat as well and was wondering if i could send it in one day for a clean up.
Never cut towards yourself...always towards a friend!
Well that's a nice change of pace. I remember opening a second hand PS2 and it had dead roaches inside.
My favorite console of all time no doubt, love it soo much i still play SOCOM 2 Online to this day lol
How the heck do you play socom2 online to this day?
Saaaame still the greatest game to ever exist
@@oGDreaMz_s2 100% dude
@@mattyacks there's a socom community that still plays competitive and all. I cant post links here but just lookup socomcommunity
Socom holy crap thought I was the only one who played haha remember back in the day on it all the time loved the ps2
I have been so scared to take mine apart. The thing has never failed me, and I actually just picked my PS2 back up from my moms. The Sly trilogy and NFS underground’s still slap to this day!
dang,its been a while seeing a ps2,since my last console is a ps2 and didnt have the ps3,ps4 nor the ps5 because idk why😂,good old times playing the ps2 tho,glad so see it again from a GCDC playlist
I have 2 ps2 slims and 2 of the original models and put a Og 40 Gb HDD that was a final fantasy bundle HDD and that has just the Freemcboot stuff no games on it so i have another adapter for my second ps2 that uses Sata and that has a 500gb HDD which right now has 140 games on it. it's really nice so you don't have to use discs and it's a lot quicker
I had a ps2 slim and it was such a good console with really good games on it
I like your f430 model on the shelf
Congo for 800k Greg love from 🇵🇰
I have that exact version of the PS2, it has lots of great games like Metal slug 3 and guitar hero
It'd be cool to see some older and even retro consoles on GCDC. N64 next?
Cleaning Greg’s ps2 fire 🔥
I though it was real 😭
Funny how the 1920s ended in disaster and the 2020s started with disaster. Great video greg! Love the content!
yea, numbers are crazy.
What’s crazier is how people attribute significance to arbitrary numbers too.
Most of of some games only in PS2 is GTA Vice City & San Andreas and Tekken 5
Personal device was a unexpected but nice twist!
13:12 my soul was restored 😂
Thanks!
This was my first console ever. My parents bought it for me on my 10th birthday. I had it for over 5 years and the only reason I switched to Xbox was because I accidentally snapped the disc tray off when I fell on it while trying to swap cd's. If that never happens I'd still be playing it today. Good times....
ALMOST 800K 🙏
@Greg Salazar would LOVE to know what model of electric air duster you're using, looks like a new one.
That's one nice PS2 Greg 👀😏.
And the upgrades that you did are great for preserving games. I'm great full for this kind of hardware and I wish this would still be possible. But now days they are just about thier stock prices and shit
I can only imagine a noctua fan as a replacement
Where do you get the brush attachment for the electric duster?
I wonder if you could find a small copy of that PS Logo and print it off, and stick it on that small rotatable pin on your PS 2? that would be a nice wee touch!!
The funny thing is, you never need to clean the ps2 and it will last a life time. Crazy how it manages to not die, overheat or any other issues. I have had mine since 2000.
The bent bristles look a little like your hair, Greg! 😂😎
Dang a PS2 ?? That’s cool !!
Hey. It looks quite good for some 10+ years.
Oh so the mcboot is similar to r4 card for the ds lite because if you have a r4 card you can download both gba and ds games on it and play them. Then if you have the gba tool you can back up your save from the gba slot and also you can copy the game from the gba cart so you will have the rom instead of downloading it from the internet.
Hello. Did you consider changing the stock fan to a Noctua fan for sound purposes?
Man I grew up and called this the King of a consoles. I bought this even though all my mates had Xbox lol.
Greg Salazar I had a fire in my apartment a while back and was wondering how to clean a desktop that got a lot of smoke damage. No fire near the desktop just a lot of really bad smoke damage. Is it worth trying to salvage or should I just try to save for a new one. Money is tight as we lost nearly 75 percent of our stuff.
