Noooo this cable came off my PS2! [pics]

DeltaX · 07-22-2005, 10:51 AM

While I was cleaning my PS2, this cable:

came off. It connects the On/Off and Eject button with the rest of the console.

Where does it go? I may be able to re-attatch it...

I know it's somewhere around here, so here's two pictures of the top left corner of the ps2, when it's on its back [the corner where the reset/eject buttons are usually found.

Sorry for the blur, I took these with my phone's camera:

Any help wouldbe GREATLY appreciated.

that happened to my old ps2. its somwhere underneath all that junk, and its very hard to see. i went through 2 of those **** ribbon cables before i broke the **** thing trying to lift all of the components up to get to where it plugs in. its a pain in the ***, i'd try to take it to someone to get it fixed...it's too frustrating to do on your own and youll end up breaking your ps2 like i did lol.

I just fixed it

To the left of the white wire is a socket, push the end of the ribbon into that.

Yeah that's a ***** to fix. I had to realign the hard drive on my girlfriend's brother's PS2, and ended up ripping that ribbon out. Took me about an hour to open up the whole **** thing and reattach those ribbons. I even forgot how to put it back together so I had to drive home and get mine for comparison. Major props to you for fixing it.
