How to Clean PS2 Slim - PlayStation 2 Teardown & Cleaning

PlayStation 2 Slim brings lots of nostalgia, so I took some time to clean it and replay some old great titles. PS2 Slim is also known for having problems with the eject button, so in this video I'm also fixing this issue. This Sony PlayStation 2 is part SCPH-70000 Series, so if your PS2 Slim looks different, that may be because your version is different.
Any PS2 Slim fans out there?

THANK YOU so much for the parts at 8:48 and the one earlier of you dealing with the power switch board. I have had mine broken for months since March of this year and have finally gotten a replacement switch so was scared to try and do it on my own without seeing how someone else puts the board in - and after going through maybe 10 videos, yours was the only one to show this! again, MUCH APPRECIATION!

Figured after i cleaned my PS3 i should clean my PS2, pleasantly suprised to see you having a video on this as well!

@tommydplayskeys Год назад

Thanks! Mine is running very hot, and it's visibly full of dust, so I will definitely be doing this to make it young and beautiful again :)

@YesterdaysTech Год назад

Good luck 🍀

@allu5346 Год назад

You can clean it even more thoroughly by removing the screw on top of the memory card and controller port and then taking the whole PCB out. Mine had dust and what not under the PCB so it's good idea to clean it as well.

@evanseifert8858 Год назад

I was surprised there was just one screw connecting the PCB to the bottom case. Works like a charm.

@athan694 Год назад

thank you! my dad gave me his ps2 years ago and he's never cleaned. I haven't. and I just did today and man its much better.

@eggsbacon607 2 года назад

I took the 6 screws on my ps2 off but it was not easily coming apart, still feels stuck together on one side

@GamingDog20 Год назад

You mean by that side where the metal is and that thermal pad? I cut my finger so bad it sas a bloody mess cause it was stuck together too. You just have to pry it carefully from both sides. Careful with the metal parts, cause I was prying with my hands, slipped, cut my fingers open and broke a little piece off. Hope it's what you meant in the comment.

@wasuh464 Год назад

Hi! I took mine apart and cleaned the plastic piece align with the spring for the eject button. However; it actually seemed to have gotten worse with sticking. There's no dirt or debris left.. Any idea what I might've done wrong?

@YesterdaysTech Год назад

Have you put the spring and everything else correctly?

I need help I recently tried to hookup my bro ps2 through hdmi converter and it works it turns on but my problem is I just got a wireless controller but every time I turn on console it shows the browser/ configuration menu is that normal and the control won’t work or let me click anything could it be the ps2 and not the controller that’s the problem?

@YesterdaysTech Год назад

I suggest to try with a standard controller and see how it works

@Yourfinishedx3 2 года назад

very good work bro i am just needing to tape down the orange ribbon because it scratches my disc any tips brother

@YesterdaysTech 2 года назад

I don't think it's a good idea to tape it, that needs to be flexible. Unfortunately this is a common issue to some PS2 Slim models. Try to to put it back, press it a bit, that may help. I know this was fully fixed on 9000 series

@japowger Год назад

I have a scph 77001a and 77001b. Would your tips for disassembling and cleaning your 70000 be any different than when doing so to my consoles? If so, how? Also, how powerful should the vacuum cleaner be exactly when my consoles are assembled vs disassembled? The user manual says to use a low powered vacuum cleaner when assembled, but I want to know precisely how powerful. If I don’t have a brush like the one that you’re using in this video, what would be some good alternatives?

@YesterdaysTech Год назад

You may get inspired by this video and you may find it helpful, but scph-7700 is somehow different than scph-7000. Not very much but they’re not identical. The last number differs by region, that one doesn’t matter. A handheld vacuum should be enough, 300 - 500 watt power. A 2000 or 3000 watt power vacuum may cause some damage, I would avoid such powerful vacuums. Regarding brush, the softer, the better, you can use a toothbrush but be gentle

@noah3162 Год назад

So my ps2 it only runs one of the games I have but shuts off on its own if I try to play the game and recently shuts off on its own when I turn it on. Any ideas why?

@YesterdaysTech Год назад

Have you cleaned it? Does it get hot? If it’s clean and is still shutting down, it may be either the PSU or the motherboard

Im such a palooka. The fan would not unplug. So with enough force, i think i ripped out the port for the fan.

@japowger Год назад

I know it sounds self explanatory, but How clean should the disc tray be for 77001a and 77001b before inserting a ps2 game?

@YesterdaysTech Год назад

I think there’s no difference between a and b. Using a cotton pad and a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol is all you need, but be gentle with the optical laser unit. If the PS2 doesn’t have any problems in reading the disc, just clean the area with the cotton pad and avoid touching the laser

@japowger Год назад

@@YesterdaysTech what u just said was very useful, but more specifically, I meant to ask: to avoid having ps2 disc scratched since they scratch very easily compared to ps3 discs, how clean should the disc area be? I vacuumed the area a little (without touching the lense of course!) and there’s still a little tiny bit of stubborn dust left behind. How concerned should I be about it?

@YesterdaysTech Год назад

If you disassembly it as I did in this video you should be able to clean it properly. If you don’t wanna do that, try to use a tooth stick where you don’t have access. Scratched discs is a common problem on some PS2 Slim models and that’s caused by the ribbon connection of the optical unit. It has nothing to do with dust. You shouldn’t be worried if your PS2 is not just like new

@@YesterdaysTech So which Ps2 slim models should I worry about scratching ps2 discs?
