Step 1 - Start Swap Magic
1. Turn on the PlayStation2, and then insert Swap Magic Bootdisc CD or DVD version in accordance with what type of backup you are about to play. Please wait for the screen to show "Insert Disc".

Step 2 - Slide Tray Open
1. Insert the Slide-Tool UNDER the tray on the LEFT side. To make go in smooth, leave about 2cm gap on the far left.
2. Slide your Tool gently to the RIGHT keeping a firm grip. You will feel a little resistance, don't worry, keep sliding and the tray will come out a little automatically.
3. Now, it is ready to be pulled fully out. Pull it out all the way gently.

Step 3 - Swap Discs & Close
1. Remove the Swap Magic Boot Disc, and insert your backup disc.
2. Push the tray all the way back in. To make it slide easier, you can do this on the left side of the tray.

Step 4 - Slide Back
1. Now, it is time to make the final Slide!! Insert the Slide-Tool to the left same as Step 2.1.
2. Gently slide the Slide-Tool all the way to the RIGHT again. Please note - when the tray comes out a little automatically - release the pressure on the Slide-Tool and continue to Slide the Tool to the far right. (It moves around a little bump and grabs like a hook.)
3. Make sure the Slide-Tool is fully to the right and inserted properly.
4. Now, slide the Tool gently all the way to the LEFT - the tray will be closed completely. Then, you can take out the Slide-Tool.
5. Press X on joypad - and you are playing your backup.

Step 1 - Remove Screw
1. Turn on your PlayStation2 and press the eject button, then the tray comes out.
2. Let the tray stay out, and turn OFF the power on the backside of your PlayStation2 (rocker switch). This would make the console without power and keep the tray still out.
3. Turn around the console, and put it onto a table with good light for work.
4. Now, you can unscrew / remove the tiny screw on the back of the tray. If you feel it is stuck really tight, it should not be a problem. Get a good screwdriver.

Step 2 - Remove Cover
1. Use the smallest screwdriver you can find, or get a pin. The cover is "clipped" on in right and left side of the tray. Please be carefully!! The clips on the tray holding the cover can be broken easily. You just have to expand is about 0.5 millimeters in each side at a time, so that it comes right off.
2. When you see / find the clips, put the screwdriver or pin down and twist a little -- while pulling gently in the cover. It comes off.
Hints: If you are worried about it, you can heat up the plastic materials a little using a blow dryer so it will become more flexible. If it broke up, don't be frustrated - a little super glue can turn around the situation.

Step 3 - Replace Screw
1. It's time to replace the screw you removed before. Easily, reinstall it.
2. Now, the Slide-Tool is ready for use.
3. You will find the Front Cover can be reattached easily whenever you want!
