Sony Playstation 2 Repair Manual page 3

Hi,
My name is Mark. I have been an electronic technician for almost 25 years now. My goal here is to help you fix
your PS2 quickly and at a cost well below what you would pay a repair shop to do it for you . I have broken
down the steps into simple terms and hopefully made it a task that almost anyone could do. I hope it works for
you. Even if the guide does not fix your particular problem I have shown you how to get a working one for the
price of a simple repair at most repair shops. Don't get hung up on getting YOUR PS2 fixed. Your goal should
be to get a working PS2 and that's it.
Sincerely,
Mark Eastman
FIRST THINGS FIRST
When working on your PS2 you need to always make sure you are working in a clean, well-organized
environment. Always make sure your PS2 is
static can actually cause damage to the PS2. Move to an area that is not carpeted, like a kitchen table.
There are minor variations in each version of the PS2 console. Some of the screws may be in slightly different
locations than those shown in the diagrams here. With a little common sense and persistence you should be able
to use the procedures written in this guide on your console even if it is not exactly the same version.
Do not get in a hurry and make sure you read through and understand what it is you are doing before you start.
Plan your work - Work your plan.
The navigation bar at the top of the reader allows you to view your document in three different
sizes, "Fit Width", "Fit In Window" or "Actual Size". You can also adjust the size by using the
+ or – buttons on either side of the size box. These features in conjunction with the 4 different
ways available to turn the pages using the keyboard, mouse or the navigation buttons on the
program itself, make it an ideal way to view your document without being distracted by the
actual program. If you are not familiar with Acrobat Reader, I would recommend you view the
help file and take a moment to familiarize yourself with the program before proceeding. It will
make your reading this document much more enjoyable
