Flip the PlayStation 2 over so it lays with the bottom of the device facing upwards.
Use the flat edge of a metal spudger to pry the eight flat screw covers out.
Remove the following eight screws securing the top cover to the bottom case:
Four 55.4 mm Philips screws
Four 18.0 mm Phillips screws
Before proceeding to step 2, Take a look at your PS2, some PS2's have 10 screws (and screw covers) instead of 8 (i found them underneath the optical drive), these instructions have mislead me and i ended up breaking my top cover for my PS2.
Some models have a different number of screws and feet. Remove all the feet and screws in the bottom of the case.
The 10 screw model has 6 screws in the bottom-most portion and 4 in the upper tray.
Peel the warranty sticker (located next to the main power switch) straight away from the case.
To avoid activating the VOID that may come up, heat it carefully to remove and replace it clean
Flip the PlayStation 2 back to its original upside position.
Lift the top cover off the bottom case.
To facilitate the removal, it is recommended to pry open the half closer to the power switch first while rocking the top cover towards the front of the bottom case.
Carefully remove the power cord that attaches the top and bottom halves by disconnecting the power cord assembly from the bottom case.
Remove the four 6.4 mm Phillips screws securing the top lid of the optical disc drive.
Lift and remove the lid from the optical disc drive.
On my ps2 there were only 2 screws near the front of the lid, it snapped into place in the back. I removed it by unscrewing the screws and gently pulling the back right corner (if the front is facing you) towards the front, it gently comes loose, then pulling the back left corner sideways and it came off
