PlayStation 2 (SCPH-30000) Service Manual

[RARusk]

In my quest to know more about the PS2's video, and hopefully trick it into doing Progressive Scan without the aid of a boot disc like the Xploder HDTV, I googled around and found this page:

 

http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download.php?fileid=27755

 

It is here that you can download, in PDF form, a complete service manual (with a secondary manual included) for the SCPH-30000 model of the PlayStation 2. It contains detailed schematic and circuit board information complete with parts lists. The secondary manual shows you how to properly disassemble a SCPH-30000 (Version 4) PS2.

 

An awesome find for those interested in knowing more about the PS2 (so they can hack it up, of course).

 

The manual is in multi-part form and you need to download all four parts before decompressing.

It's cool to find the service manuals for a system. I just managed to dig up some old Sega docs myself...

 

I have a SCPH-30001 PlayStation 2. I wonder if this service manual applies to that model as well?

Yes. It is for the 30001, 30002, 30003, and 30004 models.

Great info, thanks !

 

Although it says that this is in multi-part form you only need to download the file on this page. The other parts appear to be empty folders.

Didn't work for me, I had to download all four parts before being able to decompress the file.
