The Powerful Playstation 2 Repair Guide
Dear Friend,
Thanks for your interest in the Playstation 2 Repair Guide. I want to explain what my guide is all about, and
why it is the best way for you to go on getting your Playstation 2 working again. What my guide will do for you
is this- It will give you EASY step by step instructions with lots of pictures that will show you how to repair the
most common PS2 problems. I know that you may be a little hesitant to buy the guide because you feel that the
process may be too difficult for you. Let me assure you that ANYBODY can do it-INCLUDING YOU!
My philosophy is this- If it can't be QUICKLY and EASILY fixed then get rid of it and move on. A new
Playstation 2 costs only $149.00 so there is NO WAY you should consider paying the $120.00 wanted by some
repair shops to fix your PS2. So, that is what the second part of my guide is all about. If the guide fails to help
you quickly and easily fix your PS2 then the second part will teach you and show you step by step how to get
rid of your broken one and get a working one for less than the cost of having a repair done -A LOT LESS!-
If you absolutely feel that you have to get your console repaired at a repair facility then the guide can help you
there too. We have a special deal with one of the nation's top repair facilities. They will give all of the PS2
Repair Guide owners a $10.00 discount off their normal rates. So, if you decide you have to use a repair facility
then you save $10.00. So, the question you have to ask yourself is this? Is it worth $4.95 to see if I can get my
PS2 console working today? Most people think it is, and have great success. I'm sure you will too.
In summary- If the repair guide cannot help you get your PS2 fixed in an hour or less it will show you
how to get a working one for about 2/3 of the $120.00 price you would have to pay elsewhere. So, you still
save about $40.00- Either way you save money!
Don't be fooled by others selling similar guides
repairs but you have to ask yourself "Is this information that I can really use?" The answer in most cases is a
big NO. Most people simply can't do all of the complicated procedures that are explained in most guides. All I
can say is "You get what you pay for". The goal of my guide is to help you get your PS2 fixed and back
operational again as quickly as possible and with a minimum of work.
Another added benefit to owning this guide is that YOU have the power to fix your problems. YOU are not at
the mercy of someone elses time constraints. If you send your console in for repair, not only will you pay more,
it may take weeks before you get it back. If your console breaks 4 months later you will have to go through
the same thing again:( This guide eliminates all of that and puts the POWER in your hands. You can have
your console working the same day it breaks!

  • Page 3: Power Supply Problems - Inside The Ps2

    POWER SUPPLY PROBLEMS – INSIDE THE PS2 The remaining checks will require that the PS2 cover be removed. Follow these steps to safely and easily remove it. Flip your PS2 over so that the bottom is facing up Remove all the screw covers. ( There should be 6 screw covers, 4 made of rubber (outer edges) and 2 made of plastic (in the middle), that need to be removed.
  • Page 4 Use your knife to cut the warranty tape that is covering the seam between the back and the top cover. (By the power switch). Just trace the seam through the tape with the knife so that it will not be holding you back when you go to remove the top later.

    NEXT IS A SMALL SAMPLE OF ANOTHER PART OF THE GUIDE CHECKING FUSES ON EARLIER VERSIONS Last we will check the fuses. There are two located on the power supply board. (see photo) The one you see below is what you will see in earlier versions of the PS2. Typically versions 1-3. If you have a later version then you will see what looks like in the next picture.
  • Page 6 Before flipping the console over you will need to remove the screws holding the controller ports assembly in place. Once the screws are removed place your hand over the controller port assembly and flip the console upside down. – CAUTION- There is a ribbon cable connected to the controller port assembly. If you do not support it when flipping the console over it could cause the controller port to fall and cause damage to the cable or connector- Please be careful.
  • Page 7 Remove the 4 screws indicated in the picture. You will then be able to remove the expansion bay assembly. There is nothing attached to it. Then pull up on the power supply board to remove the pin connector from the socket. Then fold the power supply board open like a book, leaving the power connector cable attached.
