Ps2 slim grind fix.REALLY WORKS

If found the problem on my own because no other video would help and I did find the problem and fixed it in a weird but easy way

[TheMrPopper]

Such a good, straight to the point video with testing. I hope this video is saved and found in like 500 years when there’s like 5 ps2 slims left

i was surprised that this ended up working for me 6 years later and this guy is still helping people

[thegoodjohn]

Guys guys. Not sure if the guy made an other video but the problem is right. The solution isn't. It works yes but its an easy fix and it's better than a tape. On the left side of the laser (black triangleish) they is a a space shape like a u. You just need to put it in between the metal. That's it. It make the noice because the laser doesn't go under the circle when it's supposed to. Your welcome 😃

Absolute legend. My PS2 was making the same grinding noise. The ribbon cable at the laser end had come out, pushed back in with tweezers and works fine. Wouldn't have figured it out without this video, thanks a lot dude.

I followed this sort of. It was corrosion on a rail stopping the laser moving smoothly for me. Used vinegar and a little ball of tinfoil to clean it. Cleaned in the plastic runners on the sled bit too. Works perfectly now. Thanks for the inspiration on the button.

Thank you so much. 7 years down the line and we're keeping our tech going.

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! I couldn't find any gum brands with foil wrappers but I bought some LifeSavers mints with the foil wrapper and it worked like a charm. thankful for your video and tip!! My old PS2 slim that I couldn't get to work normally for over 4 years now works like new!!! 5 stars.

Thanks for getting me on the correct path. After driving myself crazy by trying your fix, I discovered that I just had to replace the big brown ribbon cable completely. I seriously wouldn't have made that discovery without your help.

I know this video is 5 years old now but you didn't need the gum wrapper. The little clear ish/white plastic thing under the silver bar is put on upside down and backwords. That is what the Lazer is hitting and preventing it from coming down far enough to hit the switch. It's easy to tell because the square part is showing on yours and it should be the t shaped bit. This means it's upside down and backwords.

Thank you so much brother. I was my wife's hero for being able to fix her ps2. Not to find the other 4 or so we have in storage that were having the same issue.

Clean and strip the old grease off the two rail bars on the lens rack with contact cleaner. Use a toothbrush to clean off any old grease on the worm gear. Clean the sensor switches with contact cleaner. Re-added lithium grease on the rails only (if you use it on plastic, it degrades it) and it should work flawlessly.

This works!! Thanks so much! I can finally play my old games again!

[TheDabedbrkr]

You're amazing to the 10th power. Thank you so much.

[yahyaalmadridi]

I had the same problem.. And I saw your video and I fixed it by another way.. I just pushed it to the left.

[darkhalf]

Looking to fix a fat and for some reason this video made me realize that I should check the ribbon cables thanks to 0:10. Turned out when I went in to replace the clock battery that a ribbon cable came out after putting it back together. I got it working again but it would stop after a few minutes like the cable is coming loose. Took a few attempts but I had to put a piece of electrical tape to hold it and now so far no issues. I don't know if I wasn't putting the ribbon cable all way in but I was pressing it as far as I could get it to go so not sure why it's loose. As long as the electrical tape holds I should be good.

[AnImperialGod]

I fixed it guys, i only cleaned both sides of the laser. I didnt have to pump off nothing. Now it works but it does a little bit (not hard) of sound.

[fredderpst]

You nailed it, I thought it was the worm gear about to die but no it was exactly this. Thank you sir

[CoreusSymphonia]

Found out what was the issue with mine, it was that brown-cable that had wasn't attached properly. If this video doesn't work, try moving the cable in the connector while it's grinding.

[DrRyan]

hmm I seem to be out of luck. the button isn't working at all even if I stop it with my finger

ah I took it apart, one of connections of the button to the board is broken, so I need to soder that tiny tiny thing

[gunnerzane]

I used this method and it didn't work at first because I left the gum in the wrapper..
