Ps2 keeps over heating by user35870 on 01-03-2005 at 01:00 PM

I rekon that the fan aint running ok & the vents are blocked. They seem the only logical explanations.

Dust?

Try unplugging your PS2 from the mains and giving it a going over with a hoover.  I clean our PS2 every fortnight and it still runs as well as the day we bought it ( SCPH-30003R unit).

i will try it just for the info mines the sliver one and its a year old

do it all round the fan and the front vents?

Yeah. Dust is what caused my first edition to fuck up. But I had a five year warranty.

Since we're all talking about the Playstation 2, I was wondering what you guys thought about the redesigned Playstation 2 that came out this year.

slim ps2

Would you guys ever make a purchase ?


I don't really have a good enough reason for a more slim
Playstation. I don't really need mine to be portable... but I think it's
kind of cheaper than when I purchased the fat PS2 I have now ;p

If I decided to buy a PS2 I would buy that one, but I will never buy a PS2 (no consoles for me ;)).

does that work?!, does it make it quieter? i might try it *-)

RE: Ps2 keeps over heating by tomfletcherman on 01-03-2005 at 08:24 PM

There's an overheat light? My mum runs the hoover over all the vents and fans when she cleans the house and our ps2 is in great nick, but you should do it on a low suction setting its pretty safe.

RE: Ps2 keeps over heating by spokes on 01-03-2005 at 08:29 PM

:undecided: i dunno how to change the suction :( its got a thing on the bottom tho, with like long carpet, medium carpet, and short carpet

do i change that?

I've been looking at these for a while, if only for the fact that it has a built-in RJ45 connector for the online gaming.

I know somewhere that offers trade in on a PS2 for £73 and sells them second hand for £95 or new for £98, so I could upgrade the concole and only have to pay about £25 for it, which is only slightly more than the cost of the Network Adaptor on it's own, plus it would then allow us to use the Multitap my Brother-In-Law bought us for Xmas, exceept he purchased the version that ONLY works with the 70000 series units.

I guess I'm going to keep my fat PS2.

I'll upgrade other things, like video card or more ram.

RE: Ps2 keeps over heating by tomfletcherman on 01-03-2005 at 09:07 PM

Crikey, I don't have a clue about hoovers, just feel which one feels the less suctiony.

How's your PS2 doing Chris?

RE: Ps2 keeps over heating by FrozernFire on 01-06-2005 at 01:11 PM

how about putting a rubber stand at each of the corners? air can then flow underneath and your ps2 might not heat up that fast
