With the fatty PS2s out of the way, I poke at the slim versions. Heck, I even learn a thing or two about video settings in this video. Hahaha, oh Monday, why are you always just around the corner!
This is the laser-assembly swap on the PS2 Slim shown here. Different revisions can use different optical pickups, so check the fitted part before ordering a replacement. If the replacement has an anti-static solder bridge, it needs to be removed before use.
