The red screen of death is iconic for many people. You put a wrong disk in, it drags you to hell , warns you to but a PlayStation or PlayStation disk in.
@@italianogeorgianomonoposto Imagine being a kid with an overactive imagination putting a scratched game disk in the system. That's what made it scary for us.
There’s a chance that the dead battery could leak, but apparently the wrapping around PS2 CMOSes can make this potential damage/occurrence a little less destructive. I’ll be replacing my dead one when I later will crack into that particular Slimline model I have (with a dying laser and dead CMOS). I might as well do it while I’m in there!! XXD But I’m pretty paranoid though, so that’s just me XXD
This video actually helped me figure out what was wrong with my PS2. Thought it was just freezing up but apparently the CMOS battery is dead. Good thing I have some laying around.
Unfortunately they need to come with their own set of wires soldered into it for a proper replacement. I just reused the old battery’s connector on the new one with plenty of tape and seemed stable enough.
I like how the on the DVD errors the Phat model is more Articulate with “Play halted due to malfunction” and the slim be straight forward “This disc cannot be played”
3:51 The DVD Error is the scariest because it has no sound at all. Just complete silence, pitch-black, and one sentence. It is absolutely terrifying, especially on the PS2 Phat, where it refers to the error as a 'malfunction'.
Now that I think about it again, the RSOD is only scary on the entrance, the ambience sounds like the sea.. and I am thankful enough I never had the PS1, sparing me from the infamous Fearful Harmony and Personified Fear.
I would have agreed with you on the PS1, but I saw a comment over 6 years ago that I still think about to this day, comparing the sound to the portals in Spyro, and I haven’t been able to unhear that ever since, so it doesn’t really creep me out anymore.
Just see the clock in the dead CMOS battery scene, it stopped at 12:00:00 AM It means that those orbs move with the ticking of the internal clock of PS2 As in computers , CMOS battery give enough power to the motherboard to keep save of bios profile and clock config That's why those orbs stop moving in the UI of PS2
The reason a PS2 with a dead CMOS battery doesn't have the orbs spin is that the animation phase that the orbs show is based off the current CMOS time. In other words, if you don't see the orbs spinning when you enter the menu, it means you have a dead CMOS battery.
After some weeks I turned on my +10 years old PS2, and it has the dead CMOS Battery animation, hahah. Gladly game saving and playing keeps working flawlessly
@KezKaz I wonder if you change the time on a ps2 with a dead cmos battery, the dots would change position but still wont move because it’s... dead. The dots would just update to whatever you set it. But if you reset the system it would reset the time and also reset the dots back into the middle. Now this is just a guess I would be surprised if I’m actually correct.
The CMOS error isn't technically an error screen. The orbs move in correspondence to the passage of time and the battery is what keeps track of time. Without the battery, time essentially doesn't exist, so the orbs get confused & stay in their default position.
My theory is how the orbs move when you hover on system date is the orbs uses power from the plug so it makes it look like the CMOS battery is alive again. Another theory might be because of the system CMOS battery may have a little bit of power but had to stop because the system cannot recognize the battery's life.
Mine just died. Is it ok to not replace the battery and just keep it as it is? I hope there is no risk to keeping a dead battery in the console if all it does is tell time.
@@SharonisCarin321 Just don't if you want to save money. If you want, Open the console and find the dead CMOS battery holder, go replace it. Requirements is a professional and a working CMOS battery.
To me I think cmos one is the scariest of them all. With the cmos, everything looks so alive but without the cmos, everything looks dead and just gives a eerie feeling for some reason, especially with the sound effects behind it.
Not gonna lie, I was terrified and worried about my own life when I was a kid alone in my grandma house.. Everybody left for a while and me just getting FOREVER traumatized 💀
So I am not the only one who found these errors SO creepy? I am still wondering who thought displaying the errors in this way was a good idea, haha. To be honest, everything about the UI of the PS2 always looked creepy to me. The main menu, with the blue orbs spinning around, disturbingly calmly, like the end is near, like complete, utter emptiness has come to stay, like there's nothing more to reach... absolute loneliness. And the black background to strengthen the feeling. Then the menu with the memory card and the disc, with such silence, and a lonely little white dot occasionally going through the screen, like it's all that is left in this isolated world. So, so creepy. And just in case, it's not sarcasm. I am trying to finally put to rest one of the things that scared me the most as a kid.

@@AverageMD-Fan21 I'm not so sure about that since I no longer own a physical copy, but maybe there's a copy I can buy at one of those pawn shops that sell old video games; there's a few around where I live. I could probably pick one up and play it on an emulator.
@@shadaneanimates what a coincidence for you replying, i just got my hands on a ps2 copy of sonic heroes! it is from c.e.x though, so it has it's scratches and stuff. i tested if it worked, it fortunately did
The blue lights glitch out with a dead CMOS battery because they’re actually a clock face in disguise. Since the battery powers the clock, the lights are stuck at 12 AM
My cmos battery was actually dead and sulfated, it won't keep the time unless i keep the console plugged but the orbs always were moving even with the battery dead! probably because my ps2 90010 sets the time at 01/01/2000 everytime i unplugged it. I changed the CMOS last week, so now the original CMOS with 12 years will rest in peace. Gg.
There's an odd error that occurs sometimes when you try to play a scratched bootleg ps2 copy of a game, it ends up playing a glitched ps1 playstation boot sequence for some reason and also the console freezes at that screen afterwards
might be because the console mistakes it as a PS1 disc and hands it off to the PS1 emulator, which in turn attempts to read the disc and throws up one of the PS1's many glitched error handlers
What would happen if you got a 1tb memory card and modded it to put it in, and then filled it with a completed save file of every single game on the ps2
The RSoD (Red Screen of Death) may startle people who had just got their PS2 (PlayStation 2). They may get used to it as they use it more. Many thanks, TiledMasterCube

apparently its because " The CMOS error isn't technically an error screen. The orbs move in correspondence to the passage of time and the battery is what keeps track of time. Without the battery, time essentially doesn't exist, so the orbs get confused & stay in their default position. " -leon legend, also in this comment section
The CMOS controls the orbs, as well as the ones within the crystal clock in the settings screen, because the CMOS is responsible for the time. Without a working CMOS, the orbs’ “clock face” is stuck at 12, leaving them all frozen in place there. PSA: If you suspect your PS2 has a dead CMOS, it may be worth it to open your console up and either just take it out or go ahead and replace it; I’ve heard they can leak, and you definitely don’t want a corroded battery leak inside your system getting between you and your games. Best wishes everyone!
CMOS and DVD errors in my opinion are the creepiest That frozen clock... that messages on a silent black screen... they are just eerie About the RSOD, I think I got used to it 😂😂😂
2:48 I have a PlayStation 2 like this menu and nothing appears except the settings and it is not set to the current year just /2000/1/1/ Does this mean I should lose hope in it working?
@ryanatkinson7166 Yes it is the fat one it is old and I left it and I no longer care about it and I am now a student and in the exam period but I was attracted by your interest in where you responded to my comment at two different times and thank you for your interest in my matter 🥹🫶🏻🎀
6:21 I love how everyone has scary memories with this screen, my friends and I hated it but because they had a game that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't (it was scratched) so we waited and started to scream out of rage when we couldn't get pass that screen LMAO
The dead cmos battery error seems to only happen to certain models, my ps2 slim (k chasis, scph-79001) had dead cmos battery, an that error never appeared, even after taking the battery out and booting the console with no battery
As a Child i never was supposed to be in our ps2 menu. I think that actually made me have a weird fear of the look feel and everything about the ps2 menu, maybe fear is the wrong word but it defenetly makes me feel weirdly uncomfy. Loved the Vid thanks
4:36 only appears after the 2001 Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo (Black background variation) fades to black.

Again, you forgot the R Y A N C O O P E R error. It happens when you put a scratched/diferrent region/burned nfs prostreet copy. When you trigger this error, R Y A N C O O P E R jumpscare will appear and then it says: "The disc could not be readed and R Y A N C O O P E R is sad."
EDIT: Apparently the wrapping on the batteries makes the leaks less damaging, according to another source. So if you were going to open your PS2 (Slim seems easier to do this with?) for a general cleaning or other maintenance anyway, you might wanna do it then. But otherwise, it seems like you could just be A-OK👌 It’s very interesting! :D Just a warning, though: I’ve heard that dead CMOSes can potentially be prone to corroding and thus, leak into your console which can damage it. You’d probably want to avoid that for the sake of preserving your system, so it might be a worthwhile option to research how you can take it out and/or replace it. As for the Slimline models that I personally only owned and own, it seems to be a fairly easy process. I’m going to have to try it for myself once I get back home to help one of my slims with the dead battery! I’m no expert and I don’t know much about this, but I just wanted to spread this possibility I’ve heard about; and I mean, it couldn’t be *that* far from the truth, considering a CMOS is a battery like any other that’s probably capable of corrosion, right? XXD Well, good luck and best wishes with whatever happens!! 💙
I replaced the battery with no issue; no corrosion present either. All of my consoles fortunately have none of the typical “signs of age/death” with corrosion, worn out parts, etc… The worst one was my original Xbox with its absolutely ancient factory-original thermal paste (which required a special solvent to get off of the dye) and mildly thick coasting of dust. Which, for being as old as it is, wasn’t even that bad; a quick blow of compressed air and a paintbrush dusting later and she’s basically like new again. Lol.
I’m still surprised that people got scared of this screen when they were little 6:20 Me and my sister were small and we were so use to this screen cause one of the games we loved to play would always cause this screen 💀 then we’ll try our best to clean said disk
I can't understand why Sony decided to put entire graphics with moving parts when it comes to the RSOD but then it's just a blank screen or nothing at all for the others??
I actually own a 22-year-old PlayStation 2 that has a dead CMOS battery, like everyone else is saying, the system is working fine. The only issue is the time resets when it's powered off or unplugged. I don't plan to replace the battery till the console runs into an error that is either concerning or fatal. (Broken fans, broken disc drive, file corruption etc.) and I'll just replace both at the same time. as for I know right this second, the console is still going strong! 22 years old and no repairs yet.
EDIT: Apparently the wrapping on the batteries makes the leaks less damaging, according to another source. So if you were going to open your PS2 (Slim seems easier to do this with?) for a general cleaning or other maintenance anyway, you might wanna do it then. But otherwise, you probably shouldn’t even worry and it seems like you could just be A-OK👌 (And Sorry for my biiig ramble, I’m in my PS2 phase again XXDD) --- Hello, just wanted to let you know that if the battery is not removed, it may corrode and leak into the inside of your console, which can definitely cause problems. Corroded batteries are not something to be messed with, especially when it comes to a sensitive electronic such as a gaming console. I haven’t experienced this first hand, but I do have a dead CMOS in one of my PS2 Slims that I will replace as soon as I get home, because I’d rather not take a chance. I recently heard that it can happen 😅 I’m not sure if it really would but, I mean, it’s a battery so it makes sense. Lol Thankfully, it seems rather easy to at least remove it, and you can purchase the full battery part online, specific to your PS2! So you can worry a bit less. ( NOTE: *I only have ever owned and own slimline model PS2s, so I’m not sure how easy it would be to do this to a Phat* ) I haven’t looked up where to buy them yet, but I’ve heard plenty about that being an option, so hopefully if you do decide to have this process done, that it can go even smoother 😃. And I’m certainly no expert, as I have yet to do this myself, but I’d just like to spread the word… as it seems that some are unaware of the possibility of corrosive damage. I haven’t heard a word yet about that in this comments section, for how much people are discussing their discoveries and experiences with the CMOS. I hope this could help, as well as that I hopefully haven’t just been pulling accidentally incorrect information out my ass… XXDD… and that maybe I could alert you to a potential and likely avoidable issue. Good luck and best wishes to you! 💙
I did not see this reply until a year later. For a bit of context, the PS2 belonged to my father before it was handed down to me. The CMOS battery suddenly stopped working maybe a couple months of having it and I use it occasionally when I have time. Everything seems to be working as normal. However, I do not own a PS2 slim. There was an instance this year where my power went out, in which, most my consoles plugged into a socket that had a shortage was affected. Sadly, my Wii died and my 360’s power supply failed, but my PS2 was a champ and was barely affected by it. I have checked the battery for any of what you said due to me living so close to water anyways, but it seems to just had died due to age, so thank goodness. Otherwise, my PS2 is still working as great (despite the dead CMOS battery) as it usually does, thriving at 23 years old and I still use it occasionally for gaming!
Long time ago I had an error when I was playing "Asterix and Obelix XXL2: Mission Las Vegum": It was going normal, but suddenly the game crashed, and then it appears the Red Screen Of Death unexpectedly. It was kinda strange, but maybe it was because that game is a pirated copy, althought that screen always appears after the startup or after the "Playstation 2" logo, and not during the gameplay
I remember as a kid, I was terrified of my ps2. The sound it made filled me with anxiety. So I would frequently turn the console on before the tv so I could put in the disk I wanted and not listen to the start up sound. Then I’d wait 10 seconds before turning the tv on to play. I remember being absolutely terrified when I encountered the red screen of death because I accidentally smeared my hands on the disk. Thankfully I managed to fix it but that screen haunted my nightmares for a week lol
@@chchchchugg For pre models "PlayStation" texts have the same font as the rest of the text, while the ones after (as seen in the video) have the PS2 Font.

@@AverageMD-Fan21 I'm not so sure about that since I no longer own a physical copy, but maybe there's a copy I can buy at one of those pawn shops that sell old video games; there's a few around where I live. I could probably pick one up and play it on an emulator.

The blue lights glitch out with a dead CMOS battery because they’re actually a clock face in disguise. Since the battery powers the clock, the lights are stuck at 12 AM
My cmos battery was actually dead and sulfated, it won't keep the time unless i keep the console plugged but the orbs always were moving even with the battery dead! probably because my ps2 90010 sets the time at 01/01/2000 everytime i unplugged it. I changed the CMOS last week, so now the original CMOS with 12 years will rest in peace. Gg.
There's an odd error that occurs sometimes when you try to play a scratched bootleg ps2 copy of a game, it ends up playing a glitched ps1 playstation boot sequence for some reason and also the console freezes at that screen afterwards
i think BK4 covered this in his ps2 errors video
@@annoyingidiotfr ....this is BK4's ps2 errors video?
might be because the console mistakes it as a PS1 disc and hands it off to the PS1 emulator, which in turn attempts to read the disc and throws up one of the PS1's many glitched error handlers
@@annoyingidiotfr this IS his ps2 errors vid
There are all which occur sometimes, when you doing something wrong.
I didn't think there'd be another remastered errors video, since the last one was so long ago lol
Not an error but did you know the blocks on start up will grow depending on how full your memory card is. Thought that was cool.
I knew that
What would happen if you got a 1tb memory card and modded it to put it in, and then filled it with a completed save file of every single game on the ps2
respect to this man for showing console errors recorded by him or not
I think the reason why the orb glitched out was that the orbs matched the time,and the cmos battery manages time so the orbs are glitched out
The RSoD (Red Screen of Death) may startle people who had just got their PS2 (PlayStation 2). They may get used to it as they use it more.

I wonder why the orbs stop spinning when the CMOS battery dies…it’s like the program for the user interface is tied to the hardware in some way…
apparently its because " The CMOS error isn't technically an error screen. The orbs move in correspondence to the passage of time and the battery is what keeps track of time. Without the battery, time essentially doesn't exist, so the orbs get confused & stay in their default position. " -leon legend, also in this comment section
The CMOS controls the orbs, as well as the ones within the crystal clock in the settings screen, because the CMOS is responsible for the time. Without a working CMOS, the orbs’ “clock face” is stuck at 12, leaving them all frozen in place there.
PSA: If you suspect your PS2 has a dead CMOS, it may be worth it to open your console up and either just take it out or go ahead and replace it; I’ve heard they can leak, and you definitely don’t want a corroded battery leak inside your system getting between you and your games. Best wishes everyone!
Other consoles: Oops! Your disc format is foreign.
PS2 RSOD: *Ready to die?*
0:40 PS2: DVD player is not set up.
I also heard some static freezeing by the way it's so loud on my speakers idk if you can hear it I can
So if you put a wrong disc the sound freezes? Damn ok.. idk if you can hear the sound it's louder than other glitches
Go to where ps2 says disc could not read you can hear the loud freezeing static legally

Honestly, I think I was the only kid who was more terrified of the actual bootup screen than the red screen of death.
So THAT’S why the little orbs don’t swirl on my system! I DIDN’T KNOW THE PS2 HAD A CMOS BATTERY.
EDIT: Apparently the wrapping on the batteries makes the leaks less damaging, according to another source. So if you were going to open your PS2 (Slim seems easier to do this with?) for a general cleaning or other maintenance anyway, you might wanna do it then. But otherwise, it seems like you could just be A-OK👌
It’s very interesting! :D Just a warning, though: I’ve heard that dead CMOSes can potentially be prone to corroding and thus, leak into your console which can damage it. You’d probably want to avoid that for the sake of preserving your system, so it might be a worthwhile option to research how you can take it out and/or replace it.
As for the Slimline models that I personally only owned and own, it seems to be a fairly easy process. I’m going to have to try it for myself once I get back home to help one of my slims with the dead battery! I’m no expert and I don’t know much about this, but I just wanted to spread this possibility I’ve heard about; and I mean, it couldn’t be *that* far from the truth, considering a CMOS is a battery like any other that’s probably capable of corrosion, right? XXD Well, good luck and best wishes with whatever happens!! 💙
I replaced the battery with no issue; no corrosion present either. All of my consoles fortunately have none of the typical “signs of age/death” with corrosion, worn out parts, etc…
The worst one was my original Xbox with its absolutely ancient factory-original thermal paste (which required a special solvent to get off of the dye) and mildly thick coasting of dust. Which, for being as old as it is, wasn’t even that bad; a quick blow of compressed air and a paintbrush dusting later and she’s basically like new again. Lol.
@@ilovemonkeyos Ah, thats great! I should hope at least most of our consoles will age gracefully XD

I actually own a 22-year-old PlayStation 2 that has a dead CMOS battery, like everyone else is saying, the system is working fine. The only issue is the time resets when it's powered off or unplugged. I don't plan to replace the battery till the console runs into an error that is either concerning or fatal. (Broken fans, broken disc drive, file corruption etc.) and I'll just replace both at the same time. as for I know right this second, the console is still going strong! 22 years old and no repairs yet.
EDIT: Apparently the wrapping on the batteries makes the leaks less damaging, according to another source. So if you were going to open your PS2 (Slim seems easier to do this with?) for a general cleaning or other maintenance anyway, you might wanna do it then. But otherwise, you probably shouldn’t even worry and it seems like you could just be A-OK👌
(And Sorry for my biiig ramble, I’m in my PS2 phase again XXDD)

Hello, just wanted to let you know that if the battery is not removed, it may corrode and leak into the inside of your console, which can definitely cause problems. Corroded batteries are not something to be messed with, especially when it comes to a sensitive electronic such as a gaming console.
I haven’t experienced this first hand, but I do have a dead CMOS in one of my PS2 Slims that I will replace as soon as I get home, because I’d rather not take a chance. I recently heard that it can happen 😅
I’m not sure if it really would but, I mean, it’s a battery so it makes sense. Lol
Thankfully, it seems rather easy to at least remove it, and you can purchase the full battery part online, specific to your PS2! So you can worry a bit less. ( NOTE: *I only have ever owned and own slimline model PS2s, so I’m not sure how easy it would be to do this to a Phat* )
I haven’t looked up where to buy them yet, but I’ve heard plenty about that being an option, so hopefully if you do decide to have this process done, that it can go even smoother 😃.
And I’m certainly no expert, as I have yet to do this myself, but I’d just like to spread the word… as it seems that some are unaware of the possibility of corrosive damage. I haven’t heard a word yet about that in this comments section, for how much people are discussing their discoveries and experiences with the CMOS.
I hope this could help, as well as that I hopefully haven’t just been pulling accidentally incorrect information out my ass… XXDD… and that maybe I could alert you to a potential and likely avoidable issue. Good luck and best wishes to you! 💙
Additionally, Huge congrats on your healthy PS2!! I bless that it’ll keep on trucking for many years to come! :D
I did not see this reply until a year later.
For a bit of context, the PS2 belonged to my father before it was handed down to me. The CMOS battery suddenly stopped working maybe a couple months of having it and I use it occasionally when I have time. Everything seems to be working as normal. However, I do not own a PS2 slim.
There was an instance this year where my power went out, in which, most my consoles plugged into a socket that had a shortage was affected. Sadly, my Wii died and my 360’s power supply failed, but my PS2 was a champ and was barely affected by it.
I have checked the battery for any of what you said due to me living so close to water anyways, but it seems to just had died due to age, so thank goodness.
Otherwise, my PS2 is still working as great (despite the dead CMOS battery) as it usually does, thriving at 23 years old and I still use it occasionally for gaming!
Long time ago I had an error when I was playing "Asterix and Obelix XXL2: Mission Las Vegum": It was going normal, but suddenly the game crashed, and then it appears the Red Screen Of Death unexpectedly. It was kinda strange, but maybe it was because that game is a pirated copy, althought that screen always appears after the startup or after the "Playstation 2" logo, and not during the gameplay
ofc theres a creepiness scale after each error and how to get it, since old errors scared kids till they peed
I remember as a kid, I was terrified of my ps2. The sound it made filled me with anxiety. So I would frequently turn the console on before the tv so I could put in the disk I wanted and not listen to the start up sound. Then I’d wait 10 seconds before turning the tv on to play.
I remember being absolutely terrified when I encountered the red screen of death because I accidentally smeared my hands on the disk. Thankfully I managed to fix it but that screen haunted my nightmares for a week lol
Me too with the ps3. The reason I didn't want to hear that sound it's because it's like when you write chalk on a board!
