How to Install a PS2 Flip Top Cover

The Sony PlayStation 2 video game console features built-in region locking that prevents the system from playing any foreign titles. In order to enable the console to place titles from any region, the PlayStation 2 can be modified to accept a swap disc using a flip top cover. The flip top allows for game discs to be removed without resetting the system, thus allowing the swap disc to bypass the region lock.

      Unplug the PlayStation 2 console. Turn the console over and remove the six screw covers found on the bottom of the system. The screw covers look like little plastic squares and are found around the outside edge of the console.

      Remove the six screws from the console. Place the screws in a safe location.

      Turn the PS2 back over and remove the top left hand corner of the console casing from the rest of the system. Following the top left corner, remove the bottom left corner. Once the top and bottom left corners have been removed from the system, gently pull the entire casing from the console.

      Turn the console casing over, exposing the underside. Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the two small screws connecting the disc cover hinge to the casing and place the screws in a safe place. Turn the casing back over, so it is right side up.

      Pick up the new flip top disc cover and set it in the console casing. The flip top cover will easily slip into place when it is halfway open. Ensure that the new flip top cover's hinge fits into place in the console cover. Once the new cover is in place, press it shut until the disc cover button clicks.
