Ps2 multitap

It's the multitap, yours is designed for PS1 games, and PS2 and PS1 games require different multitaps. You have to buy one specifically for PS2.

Ps3 has purple lines going across the screen and coloring is greenish

The graphics generator isn't working properly. Perhaps you have a problem with the power supply; that could cause strange noises. I suspect one or more burned-out electrolytic capacitors. A good electrolytic capacitor has a flat-topped cylindrical case, but a bad one may have the top domed outward by excessive internal pressure. badcap-zqp50lyr3oje4ziwbuipidcp-4-0.jpeg Electrolytic capacitors in the sizes typically used in low-voltage electronics are usually low-priced; most are under US $1. I recommend Panasonic FR series capacitors for high ripple current tolerance, long life and decent high frequency characteristics. You can use capacitors with a higher voltage rating and temperature rating, but not lower. The capacitance ("uF") must be the same. Make sure the physical size fits the board and isn't too tall to close the case. Never, never install the capacitor backwards (check the orientation of the stripe on the old one before removing, and compare with the mark that's usually printed on the board under the part). A backwards capacitor will be ruined rather quickly when power is turned on.

My ps3 controller keeps moving down with out me pressing anything

You probably need a new controller. I've had the same issue with a few of my xbox controllers, but I'm sorry to tell you that you can't really fix it without potentially destroying it entirely.

I've just got a copy

Taken from a thread on the PlayStation forums: The solution to this one is a real pain. Basically, what you need to do is delete the user from the ps3, create a new user, and assign it to your psn id, and then sync trophies. I'm sure there is an old thread about this somewhere, because I had this error last year, so I won't try a step by step walkthrough, unless you can't find the other thread. Let us know how you get. P.s. as some games are locked to user as well as psn id, create a new user with the same name as your old one, after you have deleted it, if you get what I mean. -answered by hgwells https://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS3-Support/Error-8002291A/m-p/18411424

My PS3 will not play sounds on games.

1. In the PS3's XMB, go to the left and select Settings. 2. In Settings, go into SoundSettings. 3. Select Audio Output Settings, and select the type of cable you use. 4. The next page will give you an option for Automatic or Manual. Select Manual. 5. The next page will give you a list of all the audio settings the PS3 can output. Unselect every option except the ones grayed out, which are required. 6. The next page will ask you to confirm the selections, say yes. 7. (OPTIONAL) For those using HDMI cables, now that we have set them to default settings, we can actually start the process over again, but instead of selecting Manual we will select Automatic. This will force the PS3 to scan the devices again and set up the correct list of output modes.

My ps3 slim blue ray drive will not accept discs.

OK, all the answers I see here don't look like they was reading your problem and what you did. You most likely should take it back apart and put the disc back in it that way. Since you took the disc out the PS3 thinks there isn't and is a disc inside. When you press the eject button it's not going to reset the disc arms inside because there isn't a disc in there and that white thing is there to keep a disc from going in with a disc inside even though there isn't one. You should go ahead and order another laser and when you take it back apart change the laser also slim PS3 are more common on the laser going bad I've changed alot of them. But when you change that make sure you either put a disc back in or move the arms and slides to where it's ready to accept a disc when it's put back together.
