I'm sure after 22 years of playing on your PlayStation2 (PS2) console it starts to show some wear. In this video you'll find that this PS2's tray is not opening and closing smoothly.
It took roughly 5 minutes to lubricate the PS2 tray rod to fix the issue. It's a simple fix! Since we had the PS2 open I went ahead and lubricated the laser rods as well.

Great video! My PS2 badly needed the laser guide rails and worm gear lubed up. Never opened it in 20+ years and it was making a terrible sound when loading off the disc and during games. Sounds brand new now thanks to you!

That’s awesome! I love reading comments like these. I’m glad you found this video helpful. 😄

Hi Great video. I have the same model you worked on. I have been through several screw drivers but haven't been able to find one that can open the DVD drive cover. Which screwdriver did you use for that?

Amazing clear shots of the steps you took, you are great 👍

I bought a ps2 second hand over a year ago and I had to fix it recently to try and get the disc tray to eject and clean the laser (it still doesn't work sadly) and after watching this video I'm noticing a lot of differences between your ps2 and mine, one of the screws was a different screw than the rest and is silver, the ps2 didn't have the ribbon cables connecting to the power/eject buttons and my disc tray cover only has 2 screws holding it in. Hearing the difference between when you started the video and after applying the grease is like night and day, that's amazing, that is going to make the buyer of this console extremely happy for sure.

@juanquinones Год назад

You’re absolutely right. When I first started fixing PS2 consoles, I noticed immediately there were different models. Some models I favorite over others. It’s like PlayStation was tweaking each model to make them easier to repair. Every time I purchase a PS2, I completely take it apart, clean it, and replace parts, if need be to make sure it is like new. It’s like giving them a tuneup. Lol I want people to feel like they’re getting a quality product regardless of how old it is. 😁

The ps2 50000 has this.

Great video! I was able to get it taken apart and lubed up. It is def better than it was but the disc drive tray still struggles a bit when it gets about midpoint when opening. I am thinking it may be the motor rather than the rails. Regardless, it def needed the grease. 2 out of the 3 rails had no grease whatsoever.

@juanquinones 3 месяца назад

Whoa! Yeah, it definitely sounded like the rails needed some grease if they were bone dry. I’m glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for dropping a comment. I love reading comments like these. 😁

I am going to do this to my ps2. When playing resident evil 3 on my ps2 every now an then it sounded like the laser was getting stuck or skipping on the track. I am going to do the rods and grease any gears I see. Basically any part there is movement/friction will get the LUBE JOB!!

Just so everyone is clear, Lithium grease is a Petroleum based grease. Google lithium based greases and you will read about how it can deteriorate rubber and plastics. A lot of RC guys use red n tacky and I have even read the lucas marine stuff. I read one account of the white lithium each the rubber and plastic of a guys rc car. I wouldn't recommend using the grease in the video, unless the bottle states it's base is non petroleum based. Some if not all lithium grease is petroleum based, so do not assume lithium means no petroleum.

@ghostline9927 Год назад

very clear, thanks! was there a reason you chose not to grease the worm screw, on the right side of the shafts? also, how important is it to clean the laser?

@juanquinones Год назад

No problem! The worm screw was already lubricated but it’s a great idea to lubricate it if there is nothing there. I would only recommend cleaning the laser if the PS2 is having a hard time reading discs.

@oliviadias-quinones463 Год назад

This was a great video! Is there an alternative to the white lithium grease?

@juanquinones Год назад

No, most other types of grease contain petroleum.

I have a PS2 on the way as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I intend to check to see if it needs cleaning and lubing. I saw the white lithium grease you used. What are good products to use both internally and externally for a thorough cleaning? Thanks and great video.

@juanquinones 8 месяцев назад

Congratulations! Some good products to use isopropyl alcohol, Q-tips, white lithium grease, microfiber cloth, and a toothbrush. A little dawn soap to clean the plastic housing once you have everything taken apart. Good luck and thanks! 😄

First of all, thank you so much for making this video!! I was able to do this with no problem following your video step-by-step. Unfortunately in doing so I wasn’t careful enough and the eject/power ribbon got disconnected from the system itself. Do I have to buy a new ribbon cable? Even though I still have the ribbon cable, but the blue part of it is off. I was wondering how disassembled it has to be. Would I be in danger of getting electrocuted from reconnected it? I’ve never had A PS2 before

@juanquinones 4 месяца назад

No worries! I’m glad you found the video helpful. In theory, as long as the clips did not break and the cable is still in good condition you should be able to reuse the cable.

I have a Hyperkin Retron 5 that the controllers and cartridges go in and come out with difficulty. I picked up some dielectric grease. I have never used it before and still haven't because i don't want to use the wrong product. What would be your suggestion and what product to use for the cartridge slot as well as the controller ports??

@juanquinones 2 месяца назад

That’s a great comment. I looked up the Hyperkin Retron 5 since I’ve never heard of it before. Sounds like the moulding was designed to be a tight fit. I would not recommend putting any grease in the cartridge slot or controller ports. I’m not too sure what to use in your case.

Do you have any advice with a 39001 model reading ps1, and Blue disc slowly? Once the games boot they work flawlessly but when i first put the disc in or boot the console my PS2 39001 takes approximately 20 to 30 seconds to boot the game. 'Loads the DVD ps2 games just fine instantly within a few seconds Once it loads the ps1 or blue discs it plays the games just fine, not sure if thats normal for a 39001 model, bought this at a local retro game store

@juanquinones 5 месяцев назад

I’ve seen that many times before. The laser needs to be replaced. Fairly easy to do but the laser is kind of expensive.

@lovelorn88nick 5 месяцев назад

@juanquinones aah got ya, so eventually it'll just stop working all together? Calibration won't do much? Do you know of which Lazer is the best one to get for the 39001? I probably won't replace it right away. Hell it could last another 5 years for all I know LOL. It made it this far

@juanquinones 5 месяцев назад

@@lovelorn88nick It will keep working for a long time. As long as you don’t mind waiting for the discs to load. Calibration never worked for me.
