Whenever I play my Playstation 2, sometimes I get a blue screen. The console just quits. In the middle of the game. Without anybody doing anything. This happens about every 10 to 15 minutes. Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it? I’ve already tried putting a fan in front of it to blow out any possible dust, but it is not working.
:bump:
I suspect your disc is being tilted. Mine locks up when that happens. Unfortunately, it’s not balanced very well in some PS2 models.
Is it an old one? It might be crapping out on you. Mine’s about 6-7 years old and does the same occassionally. The disc doesn’t get aligned properly.
I have read online(during my search for a used one) that it is indeed a “mis-aligned” disc, which I think has to do with the machine, not your DVD.
As a side note(total hijack), I’m looking for a Playstation 2, but don’t want to pay too much. Anyone looking to sell their PS2 for cheap? I’ll pay shipping of course. You can email me if you want.
I don’t need controllers or games.
