What do you get with this service?

We will  carefully refurbish your PlayStation 2, whether phat or slim,  and ensure that it is in as good operating condition as possible. This includes the following:

• Full disassembly to its component parts in order to properly be able to reach all separate internal and external componets
• Wash with soap and water all plastic parts and metal shield
• Clean the motherboard, PSU and the heatsink with compressed air, brushes and non-conductive liquids as required
• Disassemple the DVD drive for internal cleaning, lubrication of moving parts and cleaning of laser lenses. We will also replace the rubber drive belts which is a common cause of disk tray issues.
• Cleaning and oiling the fan
• Changing the thermal pads of some of the chips that deterioritate with time
• Replace the CMOS battery
• Remove scratches (to the extent possible), polish and apply a plastic protector
• Remove rust in the metal shield and protect it from further damage

What you don’t get with this service

This is not a repair service. Please ensure your system is fully functional as stated in our Terms and Conditions, or contact us before purchasing the service if unsure what will be covered.

The PS2 optical drive is prone to disk tray issues, causing the tray not to open or intermitently open when pressing the eject button. This issue is generally due to an aging rubber belt and we should be able to repair that specific issue as part of this service.

Although uncommon for the PS2, heavily rusted shields ideally need to be painted after removing the rust. Shield painting is not part of this service but it can be added for an extra fee. If you know you want this as part of the service, please let us know via a note at checkout or by the contact page. If during the refurbishment process we find heavy rusting, we will get in touch with you to ask you if you would like to add the painting service or not.

Shipping

You are responsible for shipping the system in adequate packaging to our address. An email will be sent to you after purchase with some suggestions about how to do this as well as shipping details. The cost of you shipping your system to us is not included in the price of the service.

The shipping we do charge for this service is to send the console back to you when the service is finished. To the extent possible, we will use the same packaging material you used to send the system to us in the first place. We will replace packaging material if it is damaged when we receive it at no cost to you.

Other information
