I started to screw the holes and open the lid and cleaned the dust by blowing, but when i try to put it back together. when I was putting the last screw it was hard to rotate and suddenly I put the cover, all the screw are in the right holes then I try to push the reset button & eject button, It was not responding then I open my ps2 again and try to check the problem ,Suddenly I was piss when i saw that the last screw I put had pierced the eject & reset cable .It was like a silver tape can anyone help me on how to fix this? plssssss...

Don't worry this is fixable.

First you obviously need a new cable. Try ebay or a reputable spare parts website for one or you might have to buy a faulty console on ebay just for the cable, they're cheap enough. Just make sure you get one which is from the same model console as yours.

Then find a good guide on how to take the console apart. There are loads of them. Just google. The cable is held on the motherboard by a connector that is easy to work out. It really shouldn't take long.

Good luck.

edit - you are obviously going to need a whole new cable and switch. They come as one item.

Well, it is possible to fix... But only if you want to do it all yourself. I would just buy a whole new ps2. (Even though I fixed my cable before.)

I had done the same thing to my reset cable. Got a new cable at mod-chip.com for only $10 canadian for my older V7.
I didn't think that was too bad a price.
