I just need to know where to attatch it to the system. Can anyone help me or maybe send me somewhere where i can get help. Thanks to those who answer.
Ok, depending on wich system you have.. on some, you\'l find that it conects somewhere on the mainboard or near the
underneath of the PS2 drive.. look for circuit board.. the connection slot should be brown. you need to flick
it up to push the wad (lead from button) back into position and then re-clip the brown flip back down.
basically, look for a brown slip connector.. you\'ll have to disasemble the PS2 further.
if you have use of a digital camera take photos of the dissasembly as your going along.
then you can refer back to the photo\'s if you get lost putting it back together.
it\'s quite an easy task. dont sweat it. it will not be on the back of the mainboard (you\'l see it when you take off the bottom)
but it\'ll be further inside the machine.. look at how the ribbon was bent then follow the path. it will lead you to the connector
