Same exact thing happened to me bro. Except my warranty is over. What I did was search eBay for broken PS2s and I found 4 auctions that were selling for around $250-$280 so I put my broken PS2 up on eBay for 7 days with a reserve of $200, so instead of paying the $126 Repair Costs I am just going to use my estimated $260 towards a brand new one. For those interested in my auction, use eBays \'Search Items By Seller\' feature. My eBay account name is PTGaryF
Thanks
