PS2 Broken. :(

Tacodude · Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2005 9:26 pm Post subject: PS2 Broken. :(

My two year-old cousin came over today, and messed up my PS2. It still played the game for a while, but I turned it off, and it wouldn't read disks. I think it is still under Best Buy warranty (if I bought it, can't remember), and if it's not, I'm screwed. I'm sad, though. But I might get a sexy, slim PS2 if it's still under warranty, so maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

speaking of broken, my speakers suddenly ceased to work not five minutes ago.

and my PS2 has been acting up lately, as well as many of my friend's.

edit: HAHAH! MAN I'M DUMB. my speakers were unplugged......

I'm opening it, and I think I know the problem. I hope I don't make things worse.

Check out that damned pinwheel that governs the angle that the disc tray shoots out at. It's a pain when that acts up.

Maybe that's it. The disc tray feels really flimsy. But I'd much rather use the Product Replacement Plan (if I have it) before I go all hardcore on it. I just opened it to maybe get a quick fix. The only thing that bothers me is that it is so damn hard to find a guide on how to tinker around inside your PS2 when it's a 50001 model.

I don't know why everyone's PS2's break down like this...

I've had mine since a year after it came out and played it almost every day for 5 hours a day for about 3 years, and it works fine.

Maybe mine has fairies living in it.

If you've opened it up, you've voided the warranty... To get it open, there's this sticker that says something about voiding it. I'm not 100% on that, because I couldn't read the sticker, but it's what I've been told.

Yeah, there was, and I did. But my warranty is through Best Buy.

Ah, lucky for you then. I'd go return that sucker right away then... I don't understand why so many PS2s crap out every day... It's just stupid...

I eventually shot mine. I'm debating keeping the games for it, it ran just long enough to beat both MGS3 and San Andreas...
