PS2 doesn't play color

I had a PS2 with a similar problem. your best bet is to find another cord and try it with your system. (Sometimes the cords just play out).

You said your screen is blurry though so it is most likely a bad connection between your cord and the port on your TV.

Lastly if you can\'t find another cord to try you can attempt to clean your own with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol.



Unfortunately if that doesn\'t work then your looking at problem with your motherboard. At that point your better off to go buy a still working PS2 then have your own fixed.



good luck

Hi, these are reasons or problems that can affect ps2 color.

Its the model games your downloading. the unloaded didn't upload it right.
The problem would have to be your PS2. When you modded it, the PS2 must have had something changed in it.
That thing that you changed may not allow it to read the color on certain PS2 games. You either have to buy a new PS2, or figure out what you did wrong when you modded it.

its something with the chip u used... i did the same thing and replaced it and im working fine now... u should think about getting magic swap... requires no modding to play station and i hear from people that it works well

The thing in the back that hooks up to the back of the tv or cable connection needs to be changed

This may sound stupid and completely obvious, but mine occasionally play without color as well. Try jiggling the RGB cable from the back of the console.

because its the way they made them the only difference is the type of film they use other tha that game play is still the same

go to game stop or a game shop 4 them to fix or it might be that your psp had been dropped or something that happened to it .

Hope it helps.

You can also follow these steps to make your PS2 to play GTA San Andreas:

2. On menu screen go to [options] by pressing 'triangle' button.
3. A new screen will appear select by pressing 'X' [DISC SPEED]and set it to [FAST]

5. Turn off your PS2.
6. Press and Hold the [Reset Button] till the blue light turns on.Release the Reset button and press it again.

It will take a bit more time to play game,but first i recommend you to clean your PS2 lens,watch this video.


I've got something else to add.......you can follow above steps to play DVD movies if your PS2 dont play any.....!!!

I had the same problem. I fixed it by changing system settings, there is somewhere on the console where you can choose between two differant colour options. have a look around and try changing it on the ps itself.

I have only seen this when the PS2 slim has been modded. What I do when this happens is hook the PS2 slim to a HD TV. This clears up the color. The modchip seems to drain the video power low enough that the normal TV with composite connection cannot resolve the signal. The only way to repair this is to get a new motherboard that is not modchipped. IF it is not modded, you still need a new motherbaord. Buy a broken will not read discs PS2 slim with that is NTSC or PAL whichever you use. Exchange the motherboards. You also need to be sure the Broken PS2 slim will boot up, and possibly read CD's but not Games.

You may need NTSC-PAL or PAL-NTSC CONVERTER

my ps2 had a default code of 0000 some i hav eheard have a code of 1111
