Playstation 2 question
Anyone who's ever opened up a PS2 knows about the metal strip thats right there when you open it; I'm talking about the cable that controls the eject and reset buttons. But one person who didn't know is my stupid friend who accidentally ripped the cable out from inside the system. It's still connected to the eject and reset buttons, but wherever it was connected on the inside of the system, it has been detached from that spot. Can this problem be fixed or is it broken beyond repair? I hope someone can help me...

LOL, "friend."

On the subject, I've never opened a PS2 up, but I'd think there would be an unused port that it corresponds to?

Are you sure it was "accidentally" ripped out, or "ripped out because of curiosity, accidentally on purpose"?

I've never opened a PS2... I've only had one without problems, so I'll be damned if I'm gonna fuck it up... I did open a PS1 though, nothing interesting... I think I still have parts of it around here somewhere...

Actually, my mate opened up his PS2 to try and clean the lens, he did that and put it back together but it wouldnt switch back on and he said he thought it was to do with that metal strip but he didn't know where it was meant to go.

So if anyone could help me out and give me a bit of detail as to where its meant to go and how to fix it so I could tell him.

Baring in mind ive never opened up my PS2 so i have no idea about this "metal strip" thing

Simple problem. Considering I destroyed a PS2 a week ago trying to mod it I know exactly what you are talking about. Just use some instructions on how to take apart your PS2. The places he needs to plug them back into are on the left side of the PS2 (facing the controller ports) and are very easy to put in and out. As long as he didn't rip the cable it should be fine.

Here are the instructions. You'll have to identify the PS2 version he has, as they are built a little bit differently.

That metal "strip" is just a big ass ribbon cable that goes to the eject and power buttons. If the buttons aren't working then maybe he unpluged the ribbon from the motherboard.

Yea, that ribbon is a pain in the ass. To put it back in properly you have to take apart the entire ps2, and I mean the ENTIRE thing. It's slot is on the top side of the motherboard. As somebody else said, if you're lucky, you can get it back in with a screwdriver. I've taken ps2's apart 100 times over and that little ribbon never fails to piss me off.
