Hey phil loved this ,but it hurts my feelings. about 3 yrs ago I threw away about 15 to 20 of thoses ps2s.

Sadly all PS2s will eventually succumb to dead CPU as the substrate fails!

I have a ps2 that have the network adaptor paired with 120gb ide hard drive and freemcboot. Not once i ever changed the cmos battery and it went flat. Disk drive still works

I was 19 when I got mine, May 2001. Twisted Metal: Black and Madden 2001 Seemed like the pinnacle of gaming. Still have it complete in box.

hello, after checking the power supply capacitor, I obtain a value of only 25v ac and I have 12V DC at the output, of the power supply the discharge of the capacitor is rather slow. Do you think the problem is with the capacitor or could it be linked to another component? The xbox turns on and off instantly

If we was going it ourself. I’m a tad confused. Sorry for my ignorance. But why did you have to change the board out ? Why didn’t the new drive itself just work? I don’t think I have the skills to do all that but swapping a drive and plugging in I think I can do (currently experiencing my Xbox series X not reading disc)

you got a link to contact you at... there is this xbox series x for 102 currently.. got just under 2 hours untill it's finished. I've watched it for a few days and has gone up slowly. I was gonna get it to have it fixed but the price I was quoted, it wouldn't of been worth it.

Dead CMOS battery does NOT make a difference whether it loads the disc or not. I have 4 phat and 5 slims and all of the batteries are dead (you can tell by the spinning icon on the load screen) and they all load discs fine

Shouldn't you have a silver plaque from UA-cam now?

A saga mega drive would be a cool fix for a vintage console

ebay = scammers = overpriced

What type did you use NS 530 1T? Or just NVME G4 of any kind?

Great video Phil, nice to see you getting to play with the retro consoles. Looking forward to pt2 👍

How does this work? Isn't the jumper wire you use taller than the pads under the connector? How can every single pad be connected to the same FPC connector like that?

hey is this a known issue with the series X, switching the box on, the fan stops spinning 2-4 seconds after, then it shuts down?

New Lazer from Alliexpress 7.00.

Got the same problem with mine no power but you hear that ususal pop when plugging the power cord into the back of the console. How much to fix? I live in Birmingham

i cant beleive u dont have desoldering gun

i have hall effect analog i solder it on xbox one S Controller the board that with USB is overheated now and from D-pad area u can capacitors and chips there is there idea why this happen ??

A console where when the CMOS battery dies you don't lose access to your games.

Late to the party; nonetheless, I appreciate the time and dedication you put into to your repairs; Anything console related your in my go to list; Thanks 🙏

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

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

The ps2 is such an amazing system. 007 nightfire and matrix were some of my go to games!

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 😉 

I was hoping you'd check the expansion bays... I used to hide some 'stuff' in those

I love seeing the retro consoles yes not a big money maker but still cool video non the less

Hi Phil love watching your video just wondering as you have 6 of them you should do custom paint on one of them be good content

Great to see an older repair. I enjoy those too. Love how the battery had a ps logo on it! Been there since the beginning of time😅

@TheCod3r Hi Phil, how to I get a Switch repaired. I have logged a couple of repair requests but didn’t get a reply. I want to get the switch repaired for my son as he recently lost his best friend and this would help to lift his spirits! Cheers.

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.

What, no FIFA discs laying around?

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.

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.

I have this exact same failure. Do you know value of the smt cap you replaced so i can order one.Thanks

Hello Phil! I think it's great that you take a look at old treasures like this. Thanks for your videos and good luck in everything you do!

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.

It will still play games if the CMOS battery goes bad. I have been working on PS2's since they released.. never had that issue.

21:39 if the blue dots on screen are not spinning but stuck like in the ps2 in that frame the CMOS battery is dead

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.

Could very well be the wrong blade. There are different style ends.

PS2 rusted all around, broken video connector, still works fine. Ps5, 1 water drop and dies instantly, needs cpu reball.

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.

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!

I will never know why they still do not build access points to the battery, even on motherboards now they hide them behind the heatsinks.

You'll probably make more money selling the parts, things like the feet sell for a surprising amount

With the PS2 that warranty sticker always looks like they've been torn, they do not hold up well... So do not go by that.

How about you go to ps3 diffrent models for the next video.

you have to set the time and then the logo will spin after changing the battery

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.
