Good to see you working on the PS2 any older generation console repair is great to see :)

@RVNR2022 Месяц назад

tips from a retroconsole expert: all screws were originals. so don't worry about that. the power supply is simple to repair. those are notorius to go bad due to 2 small capacitors on the high side voltage. specifically C3 and C20. if you change those caps you have a new working PSU, trust me. and the PSU is original as well.

@TheCod3r Месяц назад

Thanks for the info buddy. I'll take a look at the psu when I work on part two tonight. I still have it sat on my bench lol. Thanks for the tips too. As you can see I'm new to this so every tip will help me get better 😉

And apparently not many people know this but just as the ps2 powers on, the tower block animation effect that you see, depending on how many tower blocks there are, represents the amount of games played on the ps2, and the height of a particular tower represents that games progress.

@kulilin3104 Месяц назад

I can't remember if it only does this with a memory card in. Or if it does it all the time. Man, hard to believe it's been over 23 years since this beast of a console came out!

@tyronenelson9124 Месяц назад

@@kulilin3104 You might be correct as this would be the main way that the console would remember that type of data.

@kalsvtg5169 Месяц назад

You don't have to replace the battery. When you go to adjust the date, press X then go to Seconds, press up and down, then X again. The seconds will start moving, you can then set proper time and as long as the console is connected to the mains it will keep the settings even with dead battery. These aren't economically viable to fix now, but their prices are slowly increasing. I sold a PS2 recently with two joysticks for 65€ (considering I paid 15€ for the whole package) which was in similar condition to the second one you tested. Might want to keep them rather than scrap for parts, who knows how much they'll be worth in the future.

@johnburrows8281 Месяц назад

FYI, you need to check both parts of the DVD drive as it's a DVD and CD drive combined, usually after fixing these for years, the CD part tends to fail. You could try the trim pots on the laser itself, but, having replaced many its usually a laser swap. Was involved in modding these.

@BoomerElectronics 15 дней назад

Don't bother replacing the CMOS battery until you've resolved the underlying issue and are trying to resell the console. The only thing replacing the CMOS battery does is keep the time on the console. People saying that it does anything else don't know what they're talking about.

@thomasodonnell2191 Месяц назад

Loving the new videos with random stuff. A lot of people like working on electronics (such as myself) but don't work on consoles all the time or ever really. This stuff gives the obballs like me something else beside your console stuff to watch :) looking forward to that video of the TV you were drying out!

It`s always nice to see old consoles. I`d polish the cases, install network adaptor + ssd, maybe some nice chip if they are still available (or just go for the freeboot), and you can get some nice money out of them.

Don't forget to test the disc drive with both cd rom and dvd rom games, ps2 can read one and not the other, my ps2 reads dvd rom but not cd rom

@Randomii666 Месяц назад

The one that doesn't spin the disc has a bad laser. You can get 3rd party 400C lasers off of ebay etc for pretty cheap, but you might need to update the disc drive firmware to make it work better if it originally had a different type of laser. As you have a freemcboot card, you should be able to boot stuff off of a USB stick i believe, so it would be as easy as swapping the laser, downloading a program for flashing the firmware, dropping it onto a USB stick and running it on the PS2

Logo not spinning - just set clock after battery replacement. Disc drive try to start only - laser is dead or need calibrating or ribbon is broken or even anything else linked to laser not working. Thats just mean Disc drive don't see CD/DVD. It only speed up if see something.

@vf90045 Месяц назад

The one system where it attempts to spin up but then stops, try cleaning the laser and adjusting the variable resistor. I usually record the resistance from the factory and then gradually reduce the resistance by 10% at a time until it starts to read again. I’ve been repairing game consoles for over 10 years. Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, ps1, ps2 and so on generally do the same thing if the laser is failing.

@thomasodonnell2191 Месяц назад

You know what... It would be cool if you did a video on what different components are on typical home appliance circuitboards and how to test them. Most people will be working on junk that breaks around the house rather than consoles all the time.

@smartfox2295 Месяц назад

If you don't have a spinning circle at the main menu it just means the time is not set. Even with a dead battery you can have the time and date working as long as you don't disconnect the console from the mains.

@samyhx896 Месяц назад

I bet the wires for the disc drive were not fully in. The trick is to reconnect them before you actually put the metal plate on

@@TheCod3r PlayStation 2, the Air Force used 1,760 Sony PlayStation 3 consoles. They called it the "Condor Cluster," and it was the Department of Defense's fastest computer. They did something similar with the PS2.

@pipporc Месяц назад

hi, if it can be of help to you, I have repaired about ten of them specifically to be able to repair the power supply you have to check that the zener diodes are not shorted, all of them but specifically it starts with ZD1 or ZD3 they are located near the filter capacitor and then replace the 33uF 35V capacitor C3 which usually has an ESR. You'll see that you can repair it with little effort 😉

@mjc0961 Месяц назад

The disc drive not working because of the motherboard battery doesn't make any sense to me. Generally the battery just keeps the real time clock, if you have a good disc drive it should work regardless of the battery. All your saves would say January 1, 2000 though :p
