    • Locate the six feet on the bottom of the PS2.

    • Five of these feet are in plain sight while the last foot is located under the black void sticker on the back of the device.

    • Some versions of the console, such as the PAL Version, may not have this sticker. In this case, the foot or the screw should be in plain sight.

    • Once all of the screws have been removed, pry apart the plastic covers. Start by lifting the side containing the power cable and Ethernet port. Then, lift the opposite side to fully separate the two sides.

    • You may need to apply some gentle force to detach the covers. Be careful not to break the plastic screw pins.

    It took force to open it, but i broke a plastic pin where the screws enter

    You can use a pick to get the thin edge up without breaking anything.

I think that if the entire disc drive, assembled with a simple click in connection, would be much easier and faster.
