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: huworld.info/flow/vide/uYSOnaOlnbnbjYA
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: huworld.info/flow/vide/z5qPuKnLpbiqaao&
The original model sticker was in bad condition so I copied it in photoshop and printed a new one.

Hey, but where is warranty sticker on 21:35? :]
I remember when I was a very little kid, we had this big blue tote of old clothes that we kept in my closet. I remember very distinctly that we had a Nemo sticker on top of it. The problem is that I've moved twice since that point, and have completely lost track of both the bin and the sticker. I present all of this to contextualize what I'm about to ask next. May I purchase that Nemo sticker. Since I lost my sticker, my life has fallen into complete disrepair. I've gained weight, I've stopped seeing friends since that point, I've felt worse than at any point before losing the sticker. So please, I will pay any price.
21:01 Ok, so 6 million people and I will keep your secret ;)
*Primeiros 5 segundos* Carinho no nemo fodasekkkkk
12:08 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEMO STICKER :(
i wanted him to put the memo sticker again
Got life issues? Use Isopropyl Alcohol! Got something to restore? Use Isopropyl Alcohol! Apparently, Isopropyl Alcohol can fix everything it seems....
Part of me just wants to take that PlayStation logo bit and mount it on a ring
Mine is black
recordando mi play que se malogro
Looks so amazing. Love it!!!
Essa versão branca do ps2 e muito linda slk
did anyone notice the small spark when he blew the dust from the fan at 15:31? ^^

Satisfying

This guy can make the Ps6
How else is high and watching this ?
Playing Jak and Daxter after a job well done of fixing a nice white slim PS2. I love it!!
How many people don't have a PlayStation
Now, restore the world please.
tinyurl.com/womanonlineqpd7b C'è qualcosa su cui riflettere: gli scenari di base del comportamento degli utenti, che sono un vivido esempio del tipo di cultura politica dell'Europa continentale, saranno lasciati allo stesso modo a se stessi! Ma pianificare in anticipo è ottimo per implementare un ragionamento profondo.Così come l'inizio del lavoro quotidiano sulla formazione di una posizione predetermina l'elevata richiesta delle posizioni ricoperte dai partecipanti in relazione ai compiti assegnati! È bello, cittadini, vedere come i paesi in via di sviluppo del Terzo Mondo si stanno trasformando in uno zimbello, anche se la loro stessa esistenza porta indubbi benefici alla società.💕 Consideracoes ideologicas de ordem superior, assim como o vetor basico de desenvolvimento, requerem que analisemos novos principios para a formacao da base material, tecnica e de pessoal. Mas a fronteira do treinamento de pessoal cria as pre-condicoes para repensar as politicas economicas externas.
Go for ps5 bruhhh
"Its liked in the description"
why does it make that noise every time the clip changes
I love your videos, they helped me with my gameboy a lot 😀. Now i am hoping soon to see a psp 3000 video for me to learn hehhehe
how did you make the sticker ??
Love the knowledge aspect of these videos and how it teaches how to repair and not just throw away things like this. Keep up the good work!
Look how they massacred my boy!
[5:31] *the
It was "a little dirty"? Geez man, it looked like it came out of a whale's butt!

Finding Nemo
Boys I don’t think olaf is going to make it. Also Mann I wish I know how to do stuff like this. I could finally know why my ps3 won’t load discs (games and movies) haha. But down here in Australia I can never find the things I need, most of the stuff you need I have never seen in my life
do an xbox 360 controller restoration plz
It actually looks really good with this dirty outside pattern 🤔
12:01 now where is nemo
Just amazing
While its better than before some areas haven't been cleaned properly and parts still look yellowish.
1.75 normal speed
Cool
Why would you use a toothbrush
That dragonball game gave me so much good memories, especially when I realized I can actually combine earrings to unlock characters and new forms that were present at the show back then
Anyone know where I can find the screwdriver set? The link didn't work for me
Really fascinated by the process!
Any plans for PS3 Slim maybe? Would be really cool!
Wanted to give several thumb up!
I know he actually redone the entire thing but it looks like he just got a new one but still redid it while having a new one but we all know that he redid it all up
@Odd Tinkering, you can clean boards with ultrasonic cleaning (if you do whats in the video as business) and also apply wd40 original(after board is clean) to the board then run high pressure air thru the board while wd40 is on to to protect the board. wipe down excess on corners and g2g. Thanks for the uv light and peroxide tip, i used bleach lol Edit: forgot to mention, you can also clean boards with soapy water and brush clean. after that Isopropyl alcohol to expell and extract water, afterwards wd40 with hi pressure air....etc^
I don't get how u can memorize where all the parts go it's insane
Jak and Daxter, whoop whoop!!! (Also your work is legendary.)
Vi tu video tomando ketamina
Not only pleasant to watch but really useful for a ps2 game collector. Thanks
videos like this can only be made by japanese or germans
You should have re-created the Nemo sticker too :(
I got a question if I sent you my mom’s game boy would you fix it for me if I paid you
"Anoche soñé que te tenía entre mis brazos" 😓😓

ASMR for my eyes and ears.

R.I.P. to whoever had their headphones maxed at 10:25

Eyyo, try to find a junk ps3 and fix them up
Hey look I bought a working ps2 and got it dirty and now I’m going to clean... I mean restore it rofl
How much do you offer to clean em?
I like the like duck
Hey! . . . . Did you know that there is someone who loves you unconditionally? Someone who loves you more than anyone on Earth? Well, he does. Jesus does. He loves *YOU* so much that he came while you were a sinner - not after you cleaned up your act - and died for you. He shed his blood for you, becoming the perfect sacrifice for all of time. He rose on the third day, ensuring victory over death, hell and the grave. He told the devil that he was defeated _TO HIS FACE_ and that is why there is so much evil raging in this world right now. Satan wants to steal as many people as he can from God, trapping them in eternal damnation. BUT - Jesus made a way when there was no way. All you have to do to gain eternal life is: 1) Believe that Jesus came and died for you. 2) Accept him as your savior and confess out loud that he is your Savior. 3) Cast away the things of the world and live strictly for God. There is nothing that you could do that would separate you from the love of the Heavenly father... except live a life of sin. Sin in the only thing thing that keeps us from God because he, like Heaven, is perfect and sin is not welcome in his kingdom. Do you know what you're escaping when you commit to Jesus? You're escaping the eternal torment that you deserve as a sinner, but Jesus died as the perfect, sacrifice to take the burdens of your sins for you. You are escaping the constant reminders of what you did on Earth that you always put before seeking God. The torment.. the agony.. it goes on forever, night and day with no end and not rest. Think of sin like stains on your clothes. When we sin, a stain appears, but when you ask Jesus to forgive you, he switches clothes with you, so when you are looked at by God, all he sees is a spotless robe, on his beloved child. How do you repent? Easy! You 1) Confess that you're a sinner, and because of that you need Jesus, and His Holy Spirit to guide you daily. 2) Turn away from sin and turn to the word of God. The unchanging, absolute truth that is basically a road-map to the King of Kings. Put your trust in the blood of Christ and you will be saved. Time is running short, you guys. The rapture is so close. Make the choice today... tomorrow is not guaranteed..
Nice
Please restore a psp😂🙏
So you put a $30 drive assembly into a $7 console to make it a $50 console. If this took you three hours, $13/3 = $4.33/hr. That would have been minimum wage in the early 90s. Well done
PS5 is made by this guy, so it’s out of stock
You didn't replace the Nemo sticker :((
5:38 he spelled the wrong
Wait thats WHITE HOLY CRAP, THATS RARE
Is there a reason why every video cut starts with a ''pssshh'' sound?
Yo he knows the good games 😀
Jak and Daxter FTW
I have a ps2 slim for 24 years and I now just learned that the logo can switch for if you have the console vertical. Insane. 23:20 Cool video dude! You got a sub!
Who else is watching this in the middle of the night?
7:18 the typo killed me lol
How could u not love this guy???☺️ Awesome work everytime!!!!!
DBZ? A man of culture once owned that legendary item. RIP to all the classics.
is a jrash o selda I don't qnow
Oh my gosh I thought the PlayStation 2 was a myth but it's real
Guy who sold it: heeyyyyy listen I need that back sooo yeeeeaaaahhh.
i’m just eating dry ramen at about 3 in the morning
No jodas es mí PS2 que la vendí hace años Todavía tiene el Budokai tenkaichi xd También la vendí con el resto de juegos de la saga aparte del 3 osea el 1, 2 y el 4 (el 4 es el fan Made)
I work at a game repair shop, one thing I learned is get a multi-meter and set it to ohm (the horse shoe looking thing) and set the "DVD" read pot (variable resister) to 2.50kohm or just under 3kohm by turning it left slightly, it is tricky and just a slight turn can change the variable. It should read, if it doesn't replace the laser or like he is doing the whole unit. We usually can do 17 unit with in 8hour if it's just that kind of issue. Just a friendly tip, enjoy guys
also pro-cleaning tip, we use window cleaner and rubbing alcohol mix together with a tooth brush and a rag, its dries faster and does clean up the system. Invest in goo-be-gone to remove sticker and tape residue.
Where do I send you my PS2 for cleaning ??
"I don't think anyone with notice I opened the console" As he's putting the old dirty warranty sticker back on. That's the only dirty part of the console now.
