PLESE READ life or death of my psx2

OK i only play my PSX2 once a day so i just cut it off completey off. This is how i do it when i\'m finished playing a game i pause it and take it out make the game tray go back in than jut shut it off. am i doing it the right way or the wrong way. do i need to rest it or go into standby mode then shut it off PLESE I NEED TO KNOW.

well i play a game and when im done i put it in standbye, i never have shut off the main power.

i havent got a ps2 yet.
but wouldnt that kind of infomation be in the manual?

Biohazard,

Please try switching discs and then hitting the reset button.  Let me know if the new disc loads properly.  My PS2 seems to lock up when I do this, and only a cold boot seems to work when I want to change games.

well when im done playing a game with the ps2, I hold the reset button down and put it on standby. When I want to switch games , I hit the eject button which takes the ps2 off of standby, take out the game, pop in the new one and it works without a hitch.

I open tray put new game in the reset, somtimes the screen just stays blank(quite offten) & I have to reset agiain.

Zenith,

That\'s exactly what happens to me, and quite often too. I\'m wondering if the reset button is malfunctioning to the extent that some data from the previous disc doesn\'t clear and fouls up the new load.

After I\'m done I put in stand-by until I go to bed. I never leave the power on for more than a day.

Later,
Infected

all i want to know is if i\'m turning it off the right way.
1. I pause the game
2. i open the disk tray
3.i take the game out
4.i make the tray go back in
5. i shut it off
the only thing i want to know is if i\'m turing my psx2 off right. see i only play it once a day and the book that came with it said that to turn it off if your not planing to play if for a while. pluss some body on this bord said that thats what tore his psx2 up because he left it on standby mode all the time. AM I TURNING MY PSX2 OFF THE RIGHT WAY

I am affraid not my friend I heard that it screws up your PS2 (after a while, like years) if you just plain out shut it off...so I have been scared ever since...so i take out the game, push the tray in, and hit reset for it to go into standby, I then shut it off in the back...does this answer your "Q"?? Hope so.
