WARNING

The Playstation 2 is a high-tech piece of equipment. Fixing the console yourself should

not be done unless completely necessary. You may risk electrical shock so please make

sure your unit is unplugged and take additional steps to ensure your safety.

These repairs require you to open your PS2 case which will void your warranty. If your

console is still under warranty please think about taking these steps carefully before

beginning.

INTRODUCTION

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 UNPLUGGED. NEVER work on your PS2 on carpet. The carpet

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.

USING ADOBE ACROBAT READER

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

WHAT VERSION DO YOU HAVE?

Some of the procedures in this book require you to know what version your PS2 console is. It is a fairly simple

process to determine your PS2 version. Please follow the steps below to correctly determine your PS2 version.

On the back of your PS2 you need to locate the tag

that has the model number on it. (see diagram)

Use the following chart to correctly determine your PS2 version:

Version 9 SCPH-50000, 50001, 50002, 50003 or 50004

Version 8 – released

in Japan only SCPH-39000 or SCPH-39006 (GH-022 BIOS 090).

Version 7 SCPH-39000, 39001, 39002, 39003, 39004 or 37000

Version 5/6 SCPH-30000R, SCPH-30001 R, SCPH-30002 R, SCPH-30003 R, SCPH-30004 R,

SCPH-30006 R, SCPH-30000, SCPH-30001, SCPH-30002, SCPH-30003 and SCPH-

30004

Version 4 SCPH-30000, SCPH-30001, 35001, SCPH-30002, 35002, SCPH-30003, 35003,

SCPH-30004, 35004

Version 1-3 Flip the console over and count the screw covers. If you have 10 then you have a

version 1, 2, or 3. Version 4 and higher have only 8

RESETTING THE DVD PASSWORD

Have a parental password on the DVD player that you have forgotten and need to reset it? Follow the procedure

below to take care of it.

1. Pop in a DVD movie (anyone will work)

2. While you are watching the DVD movie, press select and a small menu should show up.

3. Go to "Setup" and you will access a menu with the parental control setting.

4. When it asks you for a password enter the 4-digit number "7444"

5. It will again prompt you to type in the Password!

6. Now type in any code (Preferably all Zeros "0000..")

7. Scroll down on the Movie ratings option to where you are highlighting the Word "off"

VOLTMETER TRAINING

IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE A VOLTMETER TO READ VOLTAGES AND MEASURE

RESISTANCE THEN YOU CAN SKIP THIS SECTION

Before doing some of the techniques in this manual you are going to need to know how to use a voltmeter. They

are very easy to use and it won't take long to get you up to speed even if you have never used one before. If you

don't own a voltmeter then you may need to buy one or borrow one. WAIT TO SEE IF ONE IS REALLY

NEEDED BEFORE BUYING ONE! Each section tells you what tools are needed to complete the testing and

troubleshooting in that section.

Here is what my voltmeter looks like. They come in

various shapes and sizes and can be picked up at most

hardware stores or at Radio Shack. They can be very

expensive or you can get them pretty cheap. A cheap

one is all that is needed for this project. Notice that

there are two wires coming out of it. One is red and the

other black. Red is the (+) positive lead and Black is

the (-) Negative lead. None of the measurements we

will be doing are dependent on having the positive and

negative leads connected in a particular order. All of

the measurements can be taken with either lead in

either position indicated. That will make it easy for

you.

Next, we need to go over the setting on the voltmeter

that we will be using. This will vary from meter to

meter. Most of them use the same symbols and

wording so you should be able to figure it out on yours

by looking at the description and picture here. The first

setting is Ohms (See picture). This is the setting you

use to check fuses and to adjust the laser voltages. All

measurements you will be taking are less than 2000

Ohms so you will need to pick the scale that most

closely matches this setting. Many meters, like the one

shown use an auto-scaling feature. This makes it so you

don't have to worry about what scale to pick. So if you

have to buy a meter you may want to pick one up that

has this feature built in.

That's it for the voltmeter training. In each section that we use the voltmeter there will be more detailed

instructions on exactly what to do. So don't panic if you don't feel like you quite understand it yet. You will get

more details when needed.

POWER SUPPLY PROBLEMS

TOOLS NEEDED:

•Normal Philips head screwdriver (Hardware Store)

•Needle-Nosed pliers (optional)

•Voltmeter (Hardware store or Radio Shack)

If you are experiencing power supply problems then more than likely your Playstation 2 will not come on at all.

It is plugged in and the switch is on, but you have no lights. There are a couple of things you can check that may

be a simple fix to your problem. WARNING-ALL TESTING THAT IS DESCRIBED HERE IS

DONE WITH THE PS2 UNPLUGGED. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR UNIT IS

UNPLUGGED BEFORE TESTING TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL

SHOCK.

•First, make sure that the outlet you are plugged in to is good by unplugging you PS2, and plugging it into a

socket in a different room. If it doesn't work there either then proceed to the next step.

•Before we take any measurements we need to make sure the voltmeter is working. Put the meter on the

Ohms setting. Test it by touching your red and black lead together. You should get a reading of 0 or a very

low number when touched and nothing when not touching.

To test the power cord take one lead and attach it to

one prong that plugs into the wall and the other lead

into one of the holes that plug into the PS2. You

should get a low reading just like you did when you

tested above. If not, move to the other hole. Do that for

each hole and prong to check both wires inside the

cable. If both check good then you are ready for the

next step. If not, then you have a bad cord and it will

need to be replaced.

The remaining checks will require that the PS2 cover be removed. Follow these steps to

safely and easily remove it.

A. Flip your PS2 over so that the bottom is facing up

B. 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. Indicated

in photo by the white lines. You can use a knife or small

jewelers flat blade screwdriver for this. There should be 2-4

more screw covers on the outer side of the base,

underneath the controller ports. Indicated in photo by red

lines. The older model PS2’s have 4 screw covers, while

the newer ones have only 2. Remove them all, and you

should now have a total of 8-10 screws unveiled.

Set the screw covers aside.

C. 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.

D. Using the normal sized Phillips head screwdriver, Make sure all of the screws are removed, and put them

aside.

NOTE: Some of the screws are longer than others. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you remember where the

longer screws go. You may want to mark the holes with a piece of tape or some other way so that you will know

which holes the long screws go into. If you do not remember where the long screws go, you could put a hole

through a circuit board by trying to force the long screw in where it is not supposed to be.
