Viper Zero you just don't get it do you?
If you open it up, Sony will charge you to fix it because you tampered with it. My warrenty was up a hell of a long time ago, and I was charged nothing because I didn't mess with it and I let them fix it. You know those little things that cross the gap from one part to another on the PS2 that say "Void if broken" or something like that? That's what that means.
Really VZ, when you think you know something, come back, but for right now, don't cause problems for others because of your inexperience of how these things work.
It cost me $12 to have my PS2 fixed at Sony, and I got it back super fast and it's exellent now. I'd really hate for someone to follow your method and cause problems for themselfs base on what you said.
Anyone having problems with thier PS2, call Sony, explain what's wrong, tell them what you did, answer their questions, and it will be fixed. DO NOT take it apart. Take it apart=expensive to get fixed by Sony; leave alone=free fix, just shipping cost.
It's only 20 days, and I got mine back real fast and 20 days was thier maximum number, it will be back before then.
Hope that helps people.
