Japanese-imported PlayStation2.

It's an untested scph-50000 , i'm waiting for its arrival.

Is this model reliable? What are the common issues with this specific model?

Is it repairable if it didn't work?

(I paid only $28 for this 🤑, and $30 for shipping)

Edit:

My experience with repairing consoles was only with the PS3 and the Xbox 360, and these consoles sometimes die permanently. Is it the same with PS2s and this model in particular or it's not?

Note: if you are not interested in this post just fu*king scroll down!

How to mod the PlayStation2 in order to make it region-free without losing the iconic startup ?

I've seen mods like freemcboot that shows an ugly page rather than the classic ps2 startup.
