Look on the back of your PS2.... There is a number on the back that begins with SCPH-######.... What is that number, and does it have a R at the end....

PAL (UK)
30002/3/4 v1-3 = 10 Screws on base of PS2
30002/3/4 v4 = 8 Screws on base of PS2
30002R/3R/4R v4 = 8 Screws on base of PS2 & 2 screws in upper rim of expansion bay
30002R/3R/4R v5/v6 = 8 Screws on base of PS2 & 3 screws in upper rim of expansion bay
39002/3/4 v7 = 8 Screws on base of PS2 & 3 screws in upper rim of expansion bay

(I got this info from a "Charlie post" some time ago)

What model of PS2 do I have? Well here's how you tell.
10 Screws at base of PS2 Version 1,2,3
USA SCPH 30001 Version 1 = Serial Number begins with U1
USA SCPH 30001 Version 2 = Serial Number begins with U0
USA SCPH 30001 Version 3 = Serial Number begins with U1 Date Code 1A
USA SCPH 30001 Version 3 = Serial Number begins with U2 Date Code 0D
8 Screws at base of PS2 Version 4,5 and Electrical warning stamped on the bottom.
USA SCPH 30001 Version 4 = Serial Number begins with U0
USA SCPH 30001 Version 4 = Serial Number begins with U1
USA SCPH 30001 Version 4 = Serial Number begins with U2
USA SCPH 30001 Version 4 = Serial Number begins with U3
USA SCPH 30001 Version 4 = Serial Number begins with U4
USA SCPH 30001 Version 4 = Serial Number begins with U5
USA SCPH 35001 Version 4 = GT3 Edition

USA SCPH 39001 Version 7

I got this from the freedomlives website....
:cool:

in additon to response
 

well the model number is SCPH-30003 R

and the serial starts with a B not USA and its a PAL system still a bit confused ?:confused:

As it states in PSX_Paul's post:

8 Screws on base of PS2 & 2 screws in upper rim of expansion bay would be a V4....

8 Screws on base of PS2 & 3 screws in upper rim of expansion bay would be a V5....

Check the expansion bay and see how many screws are there...
