Try holding the button down for about 3-5 seconds. It pretty much requires the same time as it takes to turn off using the power button on the front on the console.
Can't believe I didn't try that. Or rather, I did but just not long enough. Haha. Thanks! I guess the 50001 is the model to have though, huh?
Yup, It's design was specifically overseen by Ken Kutaragi for the hardcore crowd to be able to get one last shot at an mmo compatible ( FFXI, Everquest etc.), drive wear preventing (Quite a few games are actually installable, for example Street Fighter Alpha Collection) tank before the idiot masses got ahold of a cheaper gimped unit (AKA Slim models).
Sorry for not posting on this thread in awhile but I've been a little buisy lately.

Said conveniences are near noiseless operation, the ability to read all burnable dvd media ( DVD-R DVD-RW DVD+RW DVD-RAM ) and all burnable cd media ( CD-R CD-RW ), remote power on using its built in ir reciever ( located between the power/reset and eject buttons ) the updated PS2 DVD remote with power on button ( the green button on most PS2 remotes that came without a reciever or install disc), a near indistructable disc drive I played dvds in mine foer years until I heard about disc drive problems and have yet to have any. Another thing is that these are the only large PS2 systems to not have the ubiquitous iLink port usually located on the front near the usb ports. I persnonally own one of these 5001 models and recommend it above all others if you can find one. These can also be destinguished by a plus sign in a little yellow box on the front of the cardboard box the system originally came in.
Didn't know about the remote power on the 5001. You did an impressive write up, this should go up on a guide. So I would say that the best PS2 setup would be a SCPH-5001 with an online adapter, set up with Freemcboot + hddloader + esr + sms. You could turn it on with the remote, go into hdloader play your game backups with faster loading and play some movies using sms.
I have 2 SCPH-3001 I think, one with a non working lens and one with a very faulty lens but with modchip. Both of them load freemcboot to hdloader using no discs. I just want a slim one to complete my setup and have a ps2 with a working lens. What model is the white slim ps2 bundled with singstar?
Thanks for the compliment man and believe it or not I've've written all my posts this last week with nothing but my SIXAXIS & PS3.
Also the white PS2's that came with Singstar were 7000 Series Slim PS2's I believe.

I tried to burn IMBNES to a CDR, but I got the old red-screen 'Please-Insert-A-Sony-Disc' screen. My model is soft-modded, so it cannot run PS1 backups; and I believe IMBNES is PS1 Homebrew, so it reads as such. Just curious how much I can do with CDR's and if I need to burn them via certain format. Unfortunately, I don't have a DVD burner yet.

hey ModMan, did you see this on page 2?
Contrary to my screen name ( first thought up back in '05-'06 during the beginning of the psp modding scene ) I've never soft or hard modded any system I've ever owned except for my psp, and some backups for my dreamcast ( If you count that as modding ).
All I know is that this model PS2's disc drive will play burned Audio CD's and burned DVD movies; for anything else a hard mod will be required.

I have the Slim PS2 SCPH-75001. I already had a mod-chip put in it about a year ago, and haven't had any problems, but anything I need to know about it? Overheating etc?

I have to hold the button on the remote about twice as long as on the console to turn it off.
