How Do You Clean A Playstation 2?
If you are old enough and careful enough to avoid touching a “hot” capacitor, you can just open the ps2 up and clean the lens yourself. A capacitor is a component on the primary circuit board that collects and stores electric charge, if you touch it, you’ll get a nasty shock. Even if the ps2 isn’t plugged in. I don’t know the exact voltage of ps2’s capacitor but I touched the one in my ps1 once, and while it didn’t kill me, I didn’t touch it again. It was kind of like touching a hot stove. The capacitor is located very near where the power cord enters the ps2 case and connects to the circuit board. If you feel you are able to safely work around it, or know someone who can, then just remove the case screws from the bottom of the ps2 case, and gently lift the top half off. Start from the back and tilt it forward so it gets clear of the front-panel buttons. Then lift it up and tip it over to the right, and set it upside down to the right of the bottom half, being careful not to disconnect
