Whoa.

Was round at a mates, and, having waited about 5 minutes to play Disgaea (blue disk), got p***ed off. See, his PS2 has the dreaded "Disk Read Error" / Not decting the disk thing. So, us being quickly angered and hence motivated, we pulled out a Black & Decker drill and opened up his PS2.

:D

And then it all just went swimmingly.

So I can now fix PS2s... Which is great, as I have an old, I assumed broken, PS2. Which I can now nab back from the neighbours and iLink to my current one.

Scoooore.

Screwdriver, perchance?
I don't think drilling holes through the PS2 will do much good ... although I wouldn't be too surprised.

No, there are the screws under the rubber feet.

Just use the B&D drill (with screwdriver bit) and out pops the weasel.

Ahhh ... screwdriver bit.
Of course.

All I could find was a hammer and chisel.
Seemed to work well enough.

Just a few minutes with a deoderant can and a lighter, and that baby'll be wide open.

What did they say to your mother after she did the same thing to your head?
