Introduzione

After a few years, the clock battery in your PlayStation 2 gets empty and the console can't save date and time anymore. This guide shows you how to replace the clock battery in your PS2.

Please note: This guide shows the European model (SCPH-90004). Some models with other region codes may not have a clock battery.

  1. P3BTjNHpvptVB1Cr

    • Turn off your PlayStation 2 and remove the disc and Memory Card.

    • Turn over the PlayStation 2 and put it on a soft surface (e.g. a towel).

  2. KQXQtooEmSBLRQv2

    • Locate the six covers.

    • Two are located underneath the feet.

    • One cover is located underneath the Void sticker.

  3. 6PxhMd3JPCsaGy6n

    • Remove the Void sticker with a Spudger and some cleaning alcohol

    • Removing the Void sticker will void the warranty of your device!

    • Some versions of that console maybe don’t have the sticker or it’s relocated.

    • Remove the covers by using either a Spudger, Opening Picks or your fingernail.

  5. mHx1oItFaVOkNJF5

    • Remove the six Phillips #1 screws with a screwdriver.

    • The screws on the right are a bit deeper inside the shell as like the rest but are the same size.

    • Separate the clips at the front and the overhanging side from their mounting using a Prying Tool.

    • Separate the two halves.

    • The clock battery is located under the drive.

    • Do not touch the Laser (red circle)! Otherwise it can’t read the disc anymore!

    • Make sure that the sensor array for the on/off switch sits correctly when reassembling the device.

    • This picture shows the European model (SCPH-90004). Some models with other region codes may not have a clock battery.

    • Pull away the metal mounting on the right to remove the old button cell.

    • Replace the old button cell/clock battery with a new button cell type CR 2032 with 3V of voltage.

Conclusione

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Simple and easy to follow. I really do miss how straightforward it used to be to take apart game consoles.

I opened up my slim silver ps2 scph-90001, can't find the cmos battery anywhere. It's not under the fan, it's not under the motherboard. This is the American silver version. I have the replacement battery I just don't know where to put it.

Hey Cory,

The PS2 shown in the guide is a European model (SCPH-90004) which has a CMOS battery. The guide mentions that other region models may not have a clock battery which could be the case on 01 models (Northern America).
