(Video) Man Restore PS2 Slim Priced At $7 Until It Works And Looks Great!

Have you ever wondered how to fix a PlayStation 2 (PS2) video game console and make it look new? Surely many are wondering how to do it right?

Through a video on Youtube by Odd Tinkering, the video shows how to restores a PS2 slim, which he got for $7 as part of a junk lot of consoles.

“As a bonus, I got a free game, DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi, it’s quite a common game and even in good condition not very valuable,” he said in his caption.

First, he started the restoration by testing the console. As the power is turned on, the console couldn’t seem to read the disc put in them.

After opening the console, he tried to see if I could repair the disc drive.

“The Playstation 2 disc drive is known for breaking quite easily. The laser just stops working. I decided to replace the whole disc drive. Only the laser part can also be changed. After replacing the laser I still had to do a little adjusting on the screws I show on the video,” he added.

After replacing the drive, he continued to disassemble the console. Cleaning everything with compressed air, soapy water, and isopropyl alcohol and removed a little yellowing with UV-light and hydrogen peroxide until it looks almost as good as new.

At the end of the video, it shows that the console now works, with him playing a game using the $7 Playstation 2.

“The original model sticker was in bad condition so I copied it in photoshop and printed a new one,” he remarked, talking about the Nemo sticker that came with the console.

Here is the full video of how he restored the PS2 Slim and it definitely looks satisfying when seeing the classic gaming console really work!
