While fixing a simple problem with my sisters PS2, my sister pulled out(by accident) the reset/eject cable(still connected to the reset/eject button but not to the PS2), it didn't break or anything but I don't know whether to buy a new one or if I could fix this one. The problem is a have no idea where the end of the cable goes. :blink: Does anybody have a guide on how to repair this?
im pretty sure it is now completly broken.
is the cable damaged at all? if not it can be easly fixed. if it is just buy another. I think lik-sang.com may have them
Here's a quote from a similar topic on a different board.
So I just have to find out where to re-attach it. :blink:Quote:
If there is no tear in the ribbon cable you can simply re-attach it back to the motherboard.
What you need to do is find how to take the system apart (i'm not typing it all down to much) from a modchip site.
Then connect the ribbon to the only thing it will connect to don't force it though the ps2 is a fragile piece of s**t if it doesn't fit, flip it over and try again.
hope this helps.
I don't think so, do you have a guide on where to re-attach it or images or something?Quote:

Shouldnt be to hard to find it even though at times they can be a pain to attach properly but don't force it or you'll break the little clip thingy that holds it in
give me 5 i'll see if i can find a pic for you
here a pic that might give you an idea

also check out this link for a ps2 main board look at the red square with the 1 in it. its either the top or bottom brown clip I don't remember 100% but which ever one doesn't have something hooked in it thats the one
Hope that helps some ;)
Thanks, I'll have a go at re-attaching it later. :D
be very careful
its really not that hard, i have done a couple of times. all you got do is find that spot
Fixed. B) Thanks for the help. :)

Just look for something that is sorta like a latch. It swings open, place it in and close it. You dont slide it in very far, thats why it falls out easily. You have to take the enitre case off cause its on the bottom somewhere.
