Well, I bought a 360 today, and with that purchase, I really don't have the motivation to keep trying to fix this PS2. I put more than ample...
No it does not.
I think the reason this is happening is because there is this white gear that I read if you spun it around, it would help the laser read the disc...
Actually, the disc begins to spin, and about a half a second later, it stops, and doesn't retry to.
Alright, it's been a while, but the cable is here, and it fixed the issue of the reset/eject button not working. Yay! However, again I have yet...
Yeah, I'm sure. It's actually a blue tab, the cable, then the plastic. I just placed my order, so hopefully this new cable will work. My guess is...

Well, I currently have the PS2 without any top on, and I would assume that it would work like this before working with a top on? Are there any...
Alright, I brought my PS2 up here so I can follow directly. I've been fiddling with the silver ribbon now with the PS2 plugged in, and the switch...
Well, to be honest, I'm not really a PS2 hardware pro. The Flip Top is insanely easy to install, but other than that, I'm pretty clueless. I'll...
Thanks for the reply, The silver ribbon itself is still attached on both ends... I was just saying that I saw the very end of the reset/eject...
Hey guys, Basically as simple as the title says. I followed the directions exactly as described on the Chipzone.com guide, and no matter what I...
