I just bought a new PS2 for my kids over Christmas and it worked fine until this morning. Now when I turn it on, the initial Sony Playstation blurb appears and after that nothing happens - I just get a bunch of static. It doesn\'t matter what disk I insert or even if there\'s no disk! Also, for some reason, some times when I turn on the standby switch the drawer pops out by itself. Is tis thing dead already? Before trying to send it back to Sony is there anything I can try? Any suggestions would be welcome. Please also copy me to my e-mail address (jayant.r@comcast.net). Thanks so much for any pointers.
