My ps2 won't turn on, not even the red light. I
Try plugging the system into a known working outlet and also try reseating the power cord.
If after you do these steps you can't get the system to turn on then the main board is bad and you would have to get a new system since the cost of a main board would exceed the cost of a new system.
My ps2 freezes after about 5 mins
Most likely caused from dust under the DVD Deck. This requires that you open your console and blow the dust out ( DO NOT USE A VACUUM Tiny parts can be sucked up that will render it completely useless). After you have done this and put it back together again clean the laser as dust will have collected on it from when you blow out the dust. If you do all this and it is still doing the same thing it just could be a case of the poor old PS2 is wearing out.
Playstation 2 slim repair
There are a couple of things that you can try. The main issue is there is a problem with the laser, try to clean the lens of the drive. If this does not work, then you laser is bad. You'll have replacement with new laser.
My ps2 slim says disc could not be read and it makes a ticking sound
The ticking might be coming from the laser itself. It might be getting too closer to the disc and trying to go farther than it is possible. With the disc out, push the laser from the side all the way away from the center and make the console think that the lid is closed. This may take a few tries before it works. If the problem does not seem like it is coming from the laser you may have a stripped wire that is sparking and should be taking in to be repaired. The latter is possible but VERY rare.
Ps2 slim
Did you try moving the end of the AV cable that's connected to the PS2 system while it's on? It may be a bad connection on the actual system. If it is, that can really only be fixed by Sony.
American disc won`t play on my ps2 console in the
if your ps2 is not a modded one sorry to tell you but yours is a pal ps2 (means you live somewhere in asia europe)so there is some difference i the american ps2 disc(ntsc) and pal ps2 disc both are designed to play in specific consoles so if you bought they console from ntsc territory(japan ,north america) it should work for sure but sometimes in japan and all they sell pals also but there is still chance try returning the cd to the shop and buy a pal disc or you can mod your ps2 from ps2 technicians (they are all around the world,every console shop has one) and then you can play american disc this is the only chance it will only take a small 25 bucks from you just mod it and u can play games u burned from your computer and also any pal ,ntsc territory original discs also
