How to Replace the Laser in a PS2 Slim

Remove the warranty label. The label is located on the underside of the console directly over one of the six screws that needs to be removed.

Remove the six screw covers by getting underneath and lifting them with a small flat head screwdriver or your fingernail.

Remove the six silver screws with your #0 Phillips screwdriver. Place these screws in a secure place so you do not lose them.

Turn the console upright and face it towards you. Remove the outer casing from the back left with caution. If you are not careful, you can damage the reset button located in the front right section of the case.

Located in the back right corner and held down by 4 screws with over sized heads is the laser. Remove these screws with your #1 Phillips screwdriver. After removing the screws, in order to lift the laser, you will need to remove the cables that are restricting the laser arm from lifting.

Remove the laser cable by lifting the brown clip. Insert the new laser cable and clamp the brown clip back down.

Replace everything in the same order and make sure that it is all connected properly.
