Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement

Over time, electrolytic capacitors lose their ability to perform as intended. This can have varying effects on performance (none good). The electrolyte, paper and aluminum foil in the capacitor degrade physically and chemically over time. Aging capacitors can cause a wide range of issues and in extreme cases can leak electrolytic fluid onto the PCB (again, not good).

Power Supply Recap

This option replaces the capacitors in the PS2 PSU.

Motherboard Recap

This option replaces the capacitors on the PS2 motherboard.

Complete Recap

This option replaces all electrolytic capacitors on both the motherboard and power supply.

PicFix Laser Protection

Early revision PlayStation 2 consoles suffer from an issue where using a scratched or damaged disc, can crash the mechacon (MechaCon is short for Mechanics Controller. Its main function is to control the drive mechanism). This can possibly result in the laser burning out. The purpose of the PicFix, is to detect if the mechacon crashes, and force the console into standby mode, preventing damage to your laser.

Thermal Pad Replacement

Thermal pads are an intermediary that improves heat transfer between two surfaces (in this case, the heatsink and chip). Thermal pads can break down over time due to aging and heat cycling, which can reduce their ability to transfer heat effectively. This service replaces the old and worn out thermal pads with new high conductivity PC quality pads.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

With this service, your console will be disassembled and ultrasonic cleaned. Ultrasonic cleaning removes even the most stubborn dust and dirt that a hand cleaning just cant reach.

Ultrasonic Clean Housing

Ultrasonic cleaning of console housing
Ultrasonic cleaning of console shielding/heatsink

Additional Information -

Once your order is received, you will be sent shipping information to send your console in for the work to be completed.

Initial shipping is the customers responsibility. Please ship your console and kit with ample packing material. Shipping paid at checkout is how your console will be shipped back to you after the work has been completed.

Please only send the console and kit to be installed. Power cables, controllers, AV cables or any other accessories that are not needed will only raise the shipping costs both ways.

If a console arrives not working, you will be contacted and notified. Most things can be fixed and arrangements can be made, but in the case of a console that is inoperable, the console will be returned, and you will be refunded minus return shipping costs.

Turnaround time is usually within 2-3 weeks, but can be longer depending on current workload or if parts need to be ordered.

Is there a specific mod you would like that is not on this listing? Send us a message! We can customize any order to your liking, and adjust the price accordingly depending on what it is. We are always happy to help and look forward to working with you on your next project!
