I have a problem with these new ps2's. I have recently gotten Swap Magic 3.6 as well as the Flip Top cover thingy. But in the instructions it tells you to unscrew 6 screws at the bottom of the ps2, but seems that the smarta**es at Sony has put som sort of plastic over them and slapped on a "Warranty Void if Removed" on top of one. What should I do!!!

But under that is this plastic cover protecting the screws. In other words: the screws are inaccesible!!!

No, no, no what i mean is if i want to unscrew them screws then i'll have to break off part of the machine.

What Version PS2 is it?

Some PS2's where the screws are have plastic TABS covering the screws... Use a screw driver or butter knife and pop off the tabs to ge to the screws....

I installed a flip top cover for the slim ps2 and you really don't need to break off anything

I followed this and it took about 5 min to install:

Good luck

Yeah, they're just tabs, get a flat head screwdriver and gently lever the tabs upwards.
