Game.Hack Season 1 Episode 6 - PS2 Power Connector

What does it take to get a $20 PlayStation 2? A bit of soldering experience!

This week, Zero does a tear down on the slim line ps2, and shows how to repair a very common electronics problem: the loose power connector.

oh yea, we have a site again at http://www.dgzmedia.com/ so go there!

Hey thanks for the help, if kinda worked, but after i unplug the cord, the joint breaks. i realized it was because one of the metal parts holding the yellow power adapter casing was broken. Do you know where i can get a new one?

[ReddmanDGZ]

@miversen33 That's a good question... You could possibly find replacement parts through an electronics component supply company like Mouser (that's who we use). Also, try searching google shopping for 'DC power jack for Playstation 2' and it will come up.

To:kingDbeast333, No it is not ok to use a glue gun because the glue won't let electricity through it, it might make it worse.

[KingDbeast33]

Hey, I have a question, I have a PS2 slim, but the power button is missing. I rad online that one can solder the positive and negative leads where the button strip is connected. How would I go about doing that?
