Hi there!

Usually it’s the laser which is done. I had many PS2 Slim repaired with this.

Here is my guide: PlayStation 2 Slimline PVR-802W Laser Replacement

It’s possible that a different type of laser is installed, if this is the case, please refer to my other guide: PlayStation 2 Slimline SPU-3170 Laser Replacement

The process is nearly the same for both lasers and all PS2 Slim models.

Please check if the laser model fits the part above.

Please try this first and see if it works! If you have any question, please let me know!
