Ahh... I took the glue off of Tool E... the big chunk anyway, there's still a layer of glue. Just not as big. Ie this okay? And thanks for pointing me out to Tool A, I didn;t know you had to use a screwdriver.

EDIT: I cant fit Tool F in. It jumps back out whenever I try to put it in the hole above the power/reset switch.

I had to add a bit of tape to that one. It would not stick down.

You said you have Magic Keys II also, then try using the TOOL 1 for TOOL A if you want.

Yeah I understand that. I like the tool in there instead of tissue also.

Did you slide it over first with a tiny flat screwdrive, then put the TOOL A or TOOL 1 in.
It took me a few trys to get it too stay.

No problem, you can't delete the post, but if you click on the top right hand corner of the post, you will see an edit button.

Just delete the contents of the post and save it
I usually just write "Sorry Double post"

Ok for TOOL E it can be trying some times. The lid should close easily.

You may have to wiggle it around a bit until you feel its in place, then it should just lie flat like in the pictures, and the disc should spin when the lid is open.

Another alternative is, if your warranty is up, take apart the PS2 and block the sensor with TOOL D.

Like it shows on page 3 of the pdf file.

Good video to take apart the PS2 slim

Did you remove the warranty sticker, and be careful of the reset switch when taking the cover off.
Don't use Brute force when taking the cover off, just to warn you.

Here is a pdf file to dissassemble a V14 PS2. Link
The slims should all be similiar

I don't think it should be that hard. I have only taken apart my FAT PS2, not my slim. But it comes apart pretty easily.

You are starting at the back to lift, then push toward the front to clear the reset button, then lifting upwards.

Sorry for triple posting but I'm afraid no one will answer me if I edit my last post, which I've done like 3 times.

FINALLY, I have got it working. but the prblem is, quite often instead of booting Swap Magic it takes me to the PS2 Browser screen showing the memory card and the disk. Sometimes it goes to the Playstation 2 logo but then the screen goes black for awhile and then the disk stops spinning. I;ve heard the problem might be the laser, is this true? And if not, do you know whats wrong.

Thanks in advance,

You said you have a 7000x model ps2, so that is a V12 and they are noted for having the laser that the coils on the laser burn out.

Or it could be the Swap Magic Disk is the problem. And sometimes you have to send it back for replacement.

Do you have another PS2 or friends that you could try the Swap Magic Disks in.

Does your PS2 play any Original PS2 games fine?

I have the same setup (slim ps2 and magic switch v4) so I was wondering if I could also get some help.

Edit: I figured out my initial problem. With the A tool I couldn't full close the case, which cause a problem with the Swap Magic disc. I installed the F tool instead and its working... with one hitch: the CD tray pops open unless I hold down the edges, again only with the Swap Magic disc.

It seems even with the F tool, the top is still a little uneven, how do I fix this?

If this doesn't work for you, then you could try the old tape and tissue method.

I have another question, Smokeyrain. Eventhough Tool E is in the appropriate place and not moving at all, it sometimes fails to work. Is there a reason for this?

Also, to make it easier should I just purchase another Magic Switch V4 set? When I first got it, I accidentally took most of the glue off of Tool E and there was only a small layer left, could this be cauing porblems. IF I don't have to, could I use glue to stick Tool E down?

Thanks in advance,

If it fails to work, it probably means it moved somehow.
Yes you could glue it down, double-sided tape would be better.
The tools are cheap though, if you feel you want to purchase them again, or you could look at the tutorials I posted above a couple posts.

Hope you get it working, I know it takes some patience.
