So I found a walkthrough to do this on IGN, but the description they give seems off. Are there any other sites with walkthroughs on doing this, or possibly diagrams? I'd appreciate it, my PS2 is in a thousand pieces on my counter right now waiting to be fixed

I used This One a couple months ago. Worked like a charm and took about 20 minutes.

Thanks, I've been looking for a decent guide for some time. Now to hit my roommate's PS2 as a test

You guys do know that Sony repairs DREs for free, even if your warranty period is up, right? Unless, of course, you've twiddled with the insides of the PS2 already (mod chip, your own custom DRE fix, whatever).

 

[BuddyC]

Right, but it's damn annoying to send it off, especially when you've done it once or twice. Plus my roommate was dumb enough to peel off his seal "beause I was bored."

Wow, I'm the only one I know whose PS2 hasn't fucked up on him at all since the time of purchase. I must be really lucky (March 2002). Maybe I should send in my shit anyway just for the hell of it and extend the life of my PS2. Heh heh heh.

I will warn you though that your PS2 is just getting a jolt of life. I got 6-7 additional months after my first voltage adjustment before it completely died and no matter how much juice I let run through could fix it. Same thing happened to two other friends, one of whom I did the adjustment for. So enjoy the extra time now and either start stockpiling an extra $150 for down the road or send it in to Sony like I did.
