This guide will walk you through step-by-step on how to properly remove and install the optical drive in the PlayStation 2 Slimline.

Werkzeuge

Turn off the PlayStation 2 and carefully unplug it from the power source. Also, it is important to eject the CD from the console before flipping the it upside down.

Locate the six feet on the bottom of the PS2.
Five of these feet are in plain sight while the last foot is located under the black void sticker on the back of the device.
Some versions of the console, such as the PAL Version, may not have this sticker. In this case, the foot or the screw should be in plain sight.

After all of the feet have been removed, Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the six 4.0mm screws from the base of the PS2.

Once all of the screws have been removed, pry apart the plastic covers. Start by lifting the side containing the power cable and Ethernet port. Then, lift the opposite side to fully separate the two sides.
You may need to apply some gentle force to detach the covers. Be careful not to break the plastic screw pins.

If done correctly, you should have a fully detached plastic backing, revealing the electronic components of the PlayStation 2.

Locate the three ribbons that are attached to the motherboard.
Note: These ribbons are different sizes: one large, one medium and one small sized ribbon.

IMPORTANT: The orange ribbon is glued to the metal chassis. Gently pull the ribbon upward to make sure that you don't rip it.
