Cleaning the PS2

[TwisteR]

Is there a way of opening the PS2 to get out all the dust and crap? Ive had it since the day it came out and Ive never done any kind of maintenance on it.

pull out the rubber feet things under it, and any plastic replacements (look like rubber ones but plastic and thinner) and unscrew the screws under them, taking the thing apart will void the warantee though.

Yeah the second you pull off the bardcode label it goes clear and the word 'VOID' comes up, but you can go over the back of it with a black space pen for a quick fix. Also, once you've hoovered the dust up you might want to take off the plastic CD tray cover and clean the lense, I recommend softly wiping it with some cleaning alcohol (Windex is good too) and a q-tip.

I did open it up a couple of weeks ago myself. When I put it back together, it didn't even turn on! So... I bought a new one. EB will take your broken one for 30 bucks.
