only)
Make sure to double check that the
screw shown below is actually in your system.
Simply take out the expansion
slot cover, turn round your PS2 and check to see
if the screw shown below is in
your console, if it is you have a V5/V6 console.
If you don't have the
screw in the expansion slot you have either a new V7 PS2
or an older V1-V4 PS2
board.
The only way that you can now tell if you have
a v5 or v6 console is to remove
the cover and have a look at the connector shown
below.

The model number can
be SCPH-30000, SCPH-30001, 35001,

If the marked screw doesn't show up in the expansion bay of
your PS2
then please take a look on the bottom of the PS2 case. If there is
an
electrical hazard warning on the bottom of the case then it is a
V4.

Turn the PlayStation upside-down
and check how many screws there are.
The screws are covered by black plastic
or rubber hole covers.You can easily remove
the screw covers by prying them
off with a small flat head precision screwdriver.
