I received a half-broken PS2 from a friend, it wouldn't read any discs. I decided to try to fix it, so I opened it up.
Because this PS2 (30001) was older than mine (50001/N), I didn't know the Power/Eject buttons were attached to the case, so I accidentally ripped the ribbon cable out of the board and the blue strip that keeps it stiff got caught on the bottom part of the case and ripped off, after performing open-laser surgery on the disc drive I decided to fix the ribbon cable by scotch-taping the blue strip back on (yes, I said scotch tape!), and to my surprise, it worked just fine! I still have that PS2, and it still works
I don't know if you'd count this as modding, but I was surprised it still works![]()
