- I have a Version 4 PS2 so I'm not sure if yours would have the same set up on the inside. If you have a different version of a PS2, and it worked, please let me know in a comment.

- Here is a very helpful tip explaining an easy wat to support the ribbion while putting it back int othe port if your little blue tab has ripped off...

"Using a small, cut up piece of plastic (I used one of the plastic things that Imodium AD pills come in with the paper torn off) you can help guide the ribbon in, and the plastic will actually secure it in place just as good as it had when in came off the factory. I gave it a few good tugs and it's not coming out."

I went to clean mine yesterday, and i had the flipped up ps2 cover on the end of the table, and it had dust on it, so i blew on it like a retard, and the ribbon came out

God i was so pissed at myself,

I JUST WANNA PLAY DEVIL MAY CRY 3 FUCK

[es540kickflip]

@Hadouken082 so did you fix it?

[vwfreak0]

i was cleaning my lens and my stupid girlfriend ripped out the ribbon and broke it, so my question is there anyway to turn it on and spit out the disk without it. and i dont have the money to buy a new ribbon.

[es540kickflip]

Sorry to hear. She's not stupid, she was being curious I guess haha. But yes there is something called cog swapping which involves you cutting a plastic card (old credit card, gift card) into a tool that can pull it out.

go to this video ----> youtube.com/watch?v=kfCeSFzW9b­­­8 (add the Ws to the link)

in that video hes doing something that you dont need to do which is switching games but he shows you how to open it clearly. there is a diagram at the end of the vid for cutting the card.
