I restored this $7 Junk Playstation 2 Slim - Retro Console Restoration & Repair
In this episode I restore a Playstation 2 (PS2) slim which I got for $7 as part of a junk lot of consoles. Low end price for working device is typically around $50. Black consoles can be cheaper because there are more of them available. As a bonus I got a free game, DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi, it's quite common game and even in good condition not very valuable. But it's a nice addition to my collection, here is a link to my video of repairing the disc: • Repair & restoration o...
I started the restoration by testing the console. I was able to power it on. I think it wasn't supposed to work but the descriptions for these consoles are quite often inaccurate. However it was not reading games.
After opening the console I tried to see if I could repair the disc drive. The Playstation 2 disc drive is known for breaking quite easily. The laser just stops working. I decided to replace the whole disc drive. Only the laser part can also be changed. After replacing the laser I still had to do a little adjusting on the screws I show on the video.
After replacing the drive I continued to disassemble the console. I cleaned everything with compressed air, soapy water and isopropyl alcohol and removed a little yellowing with UV-light and hydrogen peroxide. Tutorial to the process here: • How to remove yellowin...
The original model sticker was in bad condition so I copied it in photoshop and printed a new one.
Thanks for watching!

Ah PS2 the best of my teenage years. A huge game changer for PlayStation, loved playing Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty on it. There weren't any KZread tutorials for it back in 2003, if you got stuck on a mission it would trial and error but truly felt like a lifetime accomplishment when you did it by yourself.

Note for cleaning fans with compressed air: it's recommended to hold the blades while you blow them off, as letting them spin too fast can damage them. They're not designed to have that much air go through them, usually it's more of a gentle breeze. If a huge gust of wind pushes it too fast, it can mess up some of the internals. Maybe not immediately but it may shorten its life. Source: work on PCs, learned it in C.I.S class in highschool

I learned something new about the drives from this one. Sweet!
Jak and Daxter saga is one of my fave of all time!! I spent so much time on my PS2 slim thanks to them that it made me feel nostalgic when you inserted the disc
Seeing the Nemo sticker lets me know there was a time when this PS2 was loved

The PS2 takes me back. I remember literally everyone had one. Everytime I would go to a cousin's house or friends we would play any games they had. Literally everyone always had at least a GTA game, Sly cooper, Ratchet and Clank or Jak game.
Nice job! You gave that PS2 the care that it deserved

Great work! And nice to see a video like this. I have a slim ps2 myself (but in black) and it’s nice to see how to take them apart if I ever need to replace or fix something🤠😁
The best part of this aside from how clean the ps2 gets is the new label being an exact replica as the old down to the SKU! Nuts! I'm using your two year video for inspiration as I'm currently restoring a ceramic white CECH-2500B using similar methods. I just don't have the ability to print labels and haven't been able to source white ones either.
That peel showing the original color is sooooo satisfying...

I agree, the PS2 came out during my final year of medical school. I couldn’t wait to get one, the Madden game looked amazing at the time. I waited in line at Best Buy on a Saturday morning and rushed in and grabbed it....got back to my apartment and called up my college buddies and we wore that damn thing out the whole weekend....damn, those were the days!
