Full description

Translucent shell for PS2 Slim: re-dressing the console, seeing inside

A PS2 Slim that has lived a little bears its scratches, chips and broken clips. This translucent replacement shell replaces the original housing and lets you see the electronics. It comes in two versions, because PS2 Slim consoles from the SCPH-7xxxx and SCPH-9xxxx series do not have the same housing.

What it does

  • Replaces the damaged housing: scratches, chips or broken clips go away with the old shell.
  • Translucent look: black, white or purple, the electronics remain visible.
  • Two versions: one for the SCPH-7xxxx series, one for the SCPH-9xxxx series.

What it doesn't do

  • The SCPH-7xxxx and SCPH-9xxxx versions are not interchangeable: the wrong version will not fit.
  • It is not suitable for “fat” PS2 consoles (SCPH-1xxxx to 5xxxx).
  • It does not repair the drive, the fan or the power supply: only the housing parts change.
  • The internal parts are transferred from your original console.

Compatibility

PS2 Slim from the SCPH-7xxxx series or the SCPH-9xxxx series, depending on the chosen variant. Not covered: “fat” PS2, PSX (DESR), and any console whose model number does not start with SCPH-7 or SCPH-9. The model number is under the console: check it before ordering.

Skill level required

Intermediate. No soldering. You need to fully disassemble the console (Phillips screwdriver, screws hidden under the feet and labels), transfer the motherboard, the drive and the internal parts into the new shell, then reassemble while respecting the routing of the ribbon cables.

In the box

  • 1 translucent replacement shell for PS2 Slim, in the chosen series and colour.

The job: a PS2 Slim like new, see-through

A PS2 Slim often works very well under a tired shell: scratches, broken clips, yellowed plastic. Disassemble it, transfer the motherboard, drive and internal parts into the translucent housing, and close it up. The console keeps working as before and gets a new look, with the electronics visible through the plastic.

The part: two housings for two series

Behind the PS2 Slim name hide different housings: the SCPH-7xxxx series and the SCPH-9xxxx series do not share the same shell. Hence two versions, in translucent black, white or purple. Simply read the model number under the console to choose the right one, and so avoid the most frequent return on this type of part.

Before opening: what to plan for

The shell change is done without soldering, with a precision Phillips screwdriver and a plastic spudger. Photograph each step of the disassembly so you can find the routing of the ribbon cables again when reassembling. Unsure about your console's model number? Our customer service replies within 1 business day.

Frequently Asked Questions

🔧 Do I need to solder to change the shell?

No. You disassemble the console, transfer the internal parts into the new shell and reassemble.

🎮 Which version should I choose?

The one that matches the model number printed under your console: SCPH-7xxxx or SCPH-9xxxx. The two housings are different.

🕹️ Is it suitable for a fat PS2?

No. “Fat” PS2 consoles (SCPH-1xxxx to 5xxxx) have a housing that has nothing in common with the Slim's.

📦 What is in the box?

The translucent replacement shell, in the chosen series and colour. The internal parts come from your console.

🧰 What tools do I need?

A precision Phillips screwdriver, a plastic spudger and a tray to keep the screws, which are not all the same length.

⏱️ How long does reassembly take?

Allow for one calm session: most of the time goes into disassembling cleanly and noting the routing of the ribbon cables.

🚚 What are the delivery times?

Delivery in 10 to 18 days, dispatched within 3 to 5 days.

🛡️ What guarantee applies?

2-year legal guarantee of conformity. 14-day returns. Customer service replies within 1 business day.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace

It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.

We verify, they list

Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.

Customer service that speaks French

A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.

2-year legal warranty, 14-day returns

The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.

The price is comparable, the rest is not

We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
