An ominous sign?
« on: July 16, 2001, 04:29:18 PM »
Recently, I have noticed that games are taking a lot longer to boot-up; I end up waiting at the browser/configuration setup screen for an average of 10-15 sec. Not a big deal, really. But there is a definite time discrepancy from when I first purchased the console(Oct.26). I\'ve tested all my games, and they seem to work fine with the exception of SSX, which only reads 10% of the time. I thought the format might have something to do with it, but TTT (CD) loaded quicker; all the other games are DVD rom.

Has anyone had a similar experience? And if so, am  about to endure a 6-8 week headache, shell out another $450 CAN, or am I just being paranoid?

Try cleaning the discs. The next thing to check might be the controllers, but that is a rather slim chance.

Worked like a charm! Thanks a lot. Best $14 I have spent in a while.

Cheers!

My friend had this problem three nights ago. We just took it back and got another. It was two days until his warranty was up. So, now he has a new PS2. Happens again, I imagine he\'ll just replace it again and again.
