Remove these 2 screws with a Flathead screwdriver.

And is quite simple to pull.
I have the ethernet adaptor with mine but no hard drive, how do you get the hard drive to work in it?

This is the expansion bay, where the hard drive goes.
I got my ps2 from flea market and it didn't have a lid to cover up the expansion bay is that ok to leave it like that

The button structure comes out of the case. It have some tape to prevent a new destruction. Yes, I already destroyed this flat cable.

Remove the two screws with a Philips "0" screwdriver to deatach the controller port.
I've tried cleaning my memory slot ports. They look fine. I'm wondering if I just have crap luck and got 2 bad cards or do I need to replace the part.
My controller ports work fine though. Same cable I'd imagine

Here we remove the screws from the cooler and the main power switch
After reassembly, I have a fifth screw identical to the ones shown in Step 11 and Step 12 left over, any idea where it goes?
When you remove the power/ac plug there is a spot for the screw underneath.

The power cable goes further inside the case. It's better to remove it in a future step.
-
The fan wire also goes more inside the case. Take extreme care not to destroy it because it is very small.

Now we remove the expansion bay grid.
I just broke the fan pins because you have to push the connector to the side and then up. There are 2 hooks that hold the connector in place.

Well, the try to remove the cooler wire was a total failure.
-
The plug is made to deatach, but it is old. The plug had turned into one piece, and broke the soldering.
-
Well, I'll find a way to fix it. I always do =)
How did you fix same happened to me

From top, from the left: Ethernet adapter, Ps2 case, Hdd, Cooler, Cooler grid, bottom metal cover protection, screws protectors, screws, Controller board, Power swtich, Power source board, Plastic cover to isolate the power source board, top metal cover, DVD Drive, Expansion Bay cover, main board, reset/eject structure.
You probably shouldn’t put electronics on cloth, but I guess its about 9 years too late for that.

reverse procedures..step by step..
Yep in reverse, take your time or you'll be like me breaking things and having to rig it haha. Put the shielding back together, drive, power board, the other shield for hard drive. Everything, plug all connections. Even power-reset buttons. Then put it on the bottom casing, connect controller ports and close it up with top casing.
If a cable is ripped or broken, unfortunately there is no way to fix it. You will have to replace the cable.
I put a lot of layers of tape on mine, the last owner of my system was very naughty and disassembled the system when it was still under warranty, so the cable was brokem

do you have the list of screws required for this? i am missing a few trying to locate the size specs
Hi, I have a problem with a hardly used PS2. When I turn it on it only displays some coloured squares. I don’t know if the video chip has gone. Do you have any ideas??
i'd need to see it to tell you whats wrong. what do you mean by coloured squares??

So I’m curious does all PS2s take thermal paste? Bcuz I noticed the cpu/gpu chip looked like it had some on it b4!
And I was going to get inside as I need to change the coin battery but I'm not going to bother it's ridiculous just to get to it
This helped me teardown an old PS2 I just bought a few days ago.
With your help, I was able to give it a thorough clean inside and out and swap the BIOS battery. It looks and works almost like brand new now.
Thank you so much Pollux! 🙂❤️
