Silver Band Disconnected

[Npl]

lay the PS2 top-down, remove the power-Part(4 screws) and the shielding( lotsa tiny screws ).

Then unplug the flat cables, most you just pull out, for one you have to open the brown top of the connector.
Then use a screwdriver and remove the Drive by carefull bending the metall from the plastic-noses. After that also the upper shielding is loose.

For reconnecting the flat cables its best to use small, flatt pliers, so you dont bend them.
