I've got an original too. I want to say I bought it in 2000. Put it on lay-a-way at K-MART LOL. Anyway I dont mess with it anymore, but I've had it turned on in the last couple of years and it's still going strong. I also just like knowing it is there and in good condition. The thing looks brand new! I always took great care with my game systems. It amazes me what some of this stuff gets subjected to.

Pro tip: use the largest driver possible with screws. You did a bunch of P2 screws with a P1 driver. The driver will wear out faster and you run a high risk of stripping/damaging the screws.

Man! That just reminded me of when I had a PSOne and it stopped working. I opened it up and saw that the gears responsible for spinning the disk had come out of place, so I just put them back and the system worked. That's so nostalgic! Now I have a PS2 with a mod chip and softmod, a PSP with custom firmware, a PS3 with PSHen and a modded 3ds, which except for the modchip on the PS2, I modded myself.

Great job in the restoration. Fixed many PS2 consoles and came across this many times where a minor adjustment to the laser setting seem to work. If I were to go through the whole restoration like what you did, I would only do it to keep it for myself and play it like crazy.

Lots of kids probably decked their ps2 out with stickers, which get removed and build up grime. Hence the soap and water, and the mystery paste to buff out any imperfections. But nothing ever happens to the shell of an old console I guess, according to some people

What a beautiful piece of technology! I've got a silver PS2 slim but i want the fat too! I also have 3 fat PS3, one is working fine after i gave a complete care and the two others with YLOD and bluray problems. Great job as usual! Sorry for my english, not my native language.

This is the model of PS2 I have! My little silver fat TV sat on top of it, too… I’m amazed how sturdy it is! Love that Y2K silver tech moment we had. 😂

Would you ever consider doing how-to videos of your restorations? I would love to cleanup some of my old tech (PS2, Xbox controllers) but I have no idea what to use to clean it and how to clean it in a way that it still works after putting it back together. Love your content!

If you want to know what to use to clean electronics, Isopropyl alcohol will work perfectly fine for that. If you want to clean the plastic shell of a console/controller, or a controllers buttons and membranes, warm soapy water and an old toothbrush will clean off any dirt/grime (just make sure to really dry them though before you put it back together)

Most people are self taught at first. You learn by doing. I started when I was like 5 or 6 with tearing toys apart to see how they worked. This continued on into my teenage years and adulthood. Tearing apart remote control cars and such and putting pieces together to make my own ect.. Practice makes perfect.

Great repair. Loved this console

Can't believe you have one of those. That particular color/edition costed a lot of money when it first came out. I still have my PS2 with the original model (first set to be sold before changes).

Hola, he visto varios videos de restauracion, y me preguntaba si solo es suficiente limpiar el lente para que vuelva a funcionar la consola? ya que como se sabe si definitivamente un lente deja de funcionar? y como se sabe si solo limpiandolo se puede restaurar? es que me gustaria comprar una consola donde el lente no lea discos y poder restaurarla, ya que con solo ver la consola es imposible saber si se puede restaurar.

So many people prefer the original console to modern emulators, its nostalgia. If you have fond memories playing this console as a child, nothing but an original console will do. It's a great feeling to relive happier times.

After disassembling a fat PS2 on my own and watching this restoration, I gotta say that the slim is slightly less impressive. It's still impressive, don't get me wrong, but the motherboard of the fat PS2 is nearly the same size as the slim's, and it feels like most of the reason the fat PS2 was so big was just because of the hard drive bay and the built in power supply
