Title: uh-oh
Post by: luckee on August 18, 2002, 05:26:51 PM: The ps2 is scaring me again. After one dead ps2..that is not good. Anywho..on to the problem. Today Im watching the simpsons season2 which I just bought..and 15 minutes into it..the sound and screen start to freeze and unfreeze every 15 seconds or so.

The only other time I have experianced this was due to heat when I was on a movie marathon of 14 hours with my home dvd player.

I figure heat couldnt have been an issue since it had only been on for 15 minutes. I shut it down and ran the same episode again..it was gone and no problems since with a movie or a game.

Any idea\'s?

Figures.

Post by: DarkchimP on August 18, 2002, 06:22:52 PM: I have had Sony fix my PS2 twice now and it has broken again and will not play all DVD\'s. It\'s annoying but nothing big, I mean as long as I can play Madden and Socom I will be happy.

Post by: ajoh432 on August 18, 2002, 08:08:31 PM: same here... I\'m just extra careful since I paid 300 bucks for it... I try to keep it perfect, and I barely ever get problems. The only problems I get are from the dust on the eye, but I fix that by cleaning manually.

Post by: seven on August 19, 2002, 07:39:08 AM: damn, I really wonder how some of you treat your PS2s. There are several reasons to why it might just stop playing certain mediums. It could be dust, the system overheating, playing scratched DVDs/CD etc...

I have several friends who have had problems - but when I go to their place, only to see how they treat their other electronics, I really shouldn\'t wonder.

Post by: Unicron! on August 19, 2002, 09:33:11 AM: Its important to keep your PS2 away from places or anywhere you suspect there is dust.Never never place your PS2 on carpet.The cooling fans pool dust like a hoover in your PS2.

Most PS2s die because of dust.

Post by: on August 19, 2002, 09:23:09 PM: Maybe cleaning the disk, or cleaning the lense, thats all I can say.

God I hated Clerks. Most over rated piece of crap ever. Not bad for a college film, but as a whole it was boring as shit.

Post by: on August 20, 2002, 11:41:27 AM: Yeah It was overrated, but still "loads of laughs". I thought that they should\'ve had it in color, it would be that much to ask.
