Hacking a Playstation 2 powr button to admin panel

<< < (2/3) > >>

Here is what the PS2 power on switch looks like



it has a small ribbon cable to the reset power button.............. if it cant be hacked the power ribbon to extend it, then i may see if i can put a piece of tape over the power on button to keep it on all the time then have the ps2 plugged into a power outlet that is rigged into my arcade so when the arcade turns on the ps2 will and the piece of tape will auto turn on the ps2.............

Jack Burton:
Different models of the PS2 have different types of power switches.

I've seen both ribbon and wired versions.  I've even seen a version that allowed you to remove the entire upper case and left the switch intact. 

The wired version looked super easy to hack.  You might want to try to track one down.

but those versions of the ps2 cant use the internal hd to store all the games............... anyway is it possible to buy a replacement ribbon and somehow tape it to the already connected ribbon to somehow extend the ribbons total length? that way i can have it lead up to my control panel?

bkenobi:
I think you might be better off trying to solder to the board on the back side of the connector.

Actually the V7 PS2's were fat models, though the last version of the fats.  The V7 PS2 differs in that it has the IR port instead of the firewire port like all the other fat PS2s.  Makes them easy to identify however, since you just need to see if there's a firewire port next to the USB ports.  If there isn't, you have a V7.
