every time my ps2 is on for about  10 mins the over heat light starts flashing the fan is running ok and the vents are not blocked so what could it be any ideas

thanks i

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 ).

you should have seen the dust that came out of the back it seems to have worked but i will leave it on for awhile and see thanks anyway

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

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.
