Step 1 :: Remove the disk dirver

• Open the console case and remove the disk driver.
• Be careful with the flat cables and its connectors.

Step 2 :: Remove the protection

• Remove the disk tray and remove the gear plastic conver protection.
• You dont need to remove any gear form its place.
• Remove the old belt and replace with a new one.
• The belt must be a PS2 fat compatible belt. If you don't have a PS2 you can use a radio K7 driver belt but it need to have the same diameter of the PS2 belt.
• Old and lax belt.
• Brand new belt.

Step 3 :: Clean the lens

• Don't loose the opportunity and clean the laser lens with a cotton swab.
