Does your Playstation 2 sound like it's grinding gears or does it suffer from the dreaded but common disc read error? Those are just a couple of the common problems that most people have to deal with at one time or another during the life of their PS2.

If your PS2 is still under warranty you can just send it back to Sony for repair at no charge. But for those of us that have consoles that are long out of warranty, Sony charges $120. It doesn't matter whats wrong with it, it still costs $120.

So what have you got to lose? You may as well open it up and take a look at yourself if it's going to cost $120 to repair anyways.

It doesn't do you much good to just open up the box and look inside. You need to know how to disassemble your PS2 correctly. Just ripping out parts willy-nilly is going to do more harm than good! Remember, you want to learn how to repair a PS2 not tear it up or make it worse.
