it\'s a very sad day for Unknowns PS2 :(
« on: May 18, 2001, 01:03:19 PM »
yes my friends.... my PS2 has been haveing quite a bit of trouble reading disks....

i hve had my PS2 in vertical position since Oct.26 and it has worked flawlessly until now... just a couple of weeks ago my ps2 has been having trouble reading the disks, i have been keeping my PS2 clean and dust free since i got it, i bought MGS today and i was so happy that i got it, but to my dismay it coudlnt read the disk, it was  previously played one so im gonna return it caus eit may just be defective, my PS2 can still read games but now it does it rarely now, i heard ticking noises coing out from the console.


i called Sony and they told me everything i knew, they said i shouldnt use the  game link 300 s video cords cause they are not licenced and can mess up my PS2... BS, she was very nice though and she tried to help me for about 1 hour but tono avail.

in the end my PS2 cannot read disks anymore.
could it be cause of that rumor that the PS2 when it was released, the lenses weres shoty?


EDIT: i am sending my PS2 first thing tomorrow morning!
so i will be renting a PS2 from blockbustr while mine is in the shop :), guess htta means i will be able to review RF

No way this happen!  I hope your PS2 holds together until GT3 comes.  I have my PS2 horizontal since Oct. 26. Nothing wrong yet.  :D

I recently ripped of the tag on the back of the console....... so I\'m a little scared...... can I still get repairs on mine if it ever breaks? I know I can\'t return it anymore, and get my money back.....

Based on your listed "Location" [of residence], Unknown, be sure to get out of your PS2\'s expansion bay before you turn the PS2 in to have some maintenance done on it!!!

Then again, are you sure maybe while you were millin\' about inside the expansion port, you might not have spilled some breakfast cereal, or morning coffee or something and caused the trouble?  Or perhaps tossing your socks and/or underwear carelessly about while living inside there, perhaps some lint has plugged something up???  ;)

well did they replace you lens or did they just fix it? also when they returned it, did they send it with a letter about what they fixed and what was the problem??
I hope they really do a good job repairing my PS2, how long did it take you to get it back???

PS2s ARE PUT TOGETHER LIKE SH|T


For me it was DVDs back in January.  That sucks ass that it happens now and is just another reason Sony should\'ve provided a longer warranty.  

My experience with Sony and their tech support is horrible, and I hope they treat you better than they did me.  Good Luck, dude, but if I were you I\'d send the thing off now.  The longer you wait, the longer it\'s going to take for them to get it back to you.

Wow.. I\'m surprised by everyone having so much trouble with their PS2\'s. From my experience, Sony has made nothing but top notch hardware. I\'ve had my PSX since a year after it\'s launch and I\'ve had almost no troubles with it at all. Granted, I have to set it vertically to get the games to run (Lay it down on it\'s top or bottom and it\'ll die faster than Tony Danza\'s career).. but if you\'ve seen the kinda torture I\'ve put this machine through you\'d understand why it\'s a miracle that it\'s still running. I\'ve had cartridge based machines (GameGear, GameBoy, NES, Genesis) that I\'ve taken extreemly good care of break in half the time.

My cuz\'s and all my friend\'s PSX\'s & PS2\'s are exactly the same way. Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. Maybe we just got really lucky?
