The bad thing is, I bet there are people out there that actually cut the ribbon.[/quote]
I didn't cut mine, but I accidentally ripped it out messing around with it. I didn't really care though, because 99% of the time it would just say DISC READ ERROR, so I turned it into a paperweight. I like the newer versions of the old PS2. My V9 has a hidden ribbon cable and the power/reset buttoms are attached to the console itself and not the lid like the earlier models. I guess Sony just wanted to make it easier for us to mod our PS2s. :lol:[/quote]
I have a V1 or V2 PS2. I hate that wire you have to tape to the inside of the case. It was a bitch to get it from hanging over the disc tray.[/quote]
Oh man, I know. I had a V3, and I had to take it apart to clean the laser in hopes of getting rid of the DRE and that damn ribbon just got in the way. I got frustrated with it and just wedged it in somewhere and pinched it. After that, the lights on the buttons didn't always work.
