some folks get really excited the more difficult the electronics repair is.

i am not one of them. if a game has an easy mode, i’m there 😅

this ps2 turned out to be ridiculously straightforward to fix. the drive wasn’t ejecting at all - not even showing a sign of wanting to eject.

the eject belt was good - a tad loose but certainly serviceable. i let it sit in hot water for 5 minutes.

the real cause of the non ejection was dried lubrication on the worm gear and sliders. a cleaning with IPA and polish with white lithium grease is all it took!

so for $30 CAD this little beast lives again 25 years after its inception.
