Anyone tweak or repair their consoles, I have fixed PSXs,PS2s and Xbox's, got into to becuse people bugged to fix theirs *L*

I do do whole parts (PSUs,motherboards,lens,motors,fans) soldering on tiny chipsets suck... I can tweak lens alil getting a unit to stutter less when playing DVDs and games altho its a sign the lens has a months/years left in it.

As for tweaking I love the PS2 fliptops prefer the black ones,it doesn't hold heat as well as the thicker PS2 top case and lets a import boot disc do what needs to be done to play imports.

Also there is a HDD PS2 model 2 case,its design is in between that of a slim and model 1 PS2, very neat if you are a tweaker.

I have swapmagic but since its not very cheat device friendly I wind up buying my games so I can play them. LOL

If you have a out of warranty unit thats real dusty you need to clean it if you have a 70+ degrees room if you run it alot.

Dust is heat(and dusty achhooo! =^.^=) and heat kills electronics!

Also you need to clean your lens from time to time,I prefer opening it up and using a quetip and 70%+ rubbing alcohol.

I loosen up a end on the quetip to aid absorption and coverage of the lens,this process has never failed to clean a dirty lens for me.
