Forums - Sony - PS2 "problem"? Or something else?

clean the disc, probably having trouble reading it, but then managed to do it.

this happen to my wii, with brawl but then it stopped reading disc at all.

it's cheap to fix it happens though Dvd lens can be found for 20$ or less.

I say you push the system. Stop coddling it with breaks and cool surfaces and back massages. If it's gonna break you want it to happen before the warranty expires!

Try it with different TVs, and different PS2 cables if you have them. Try unplugging your cable TV cable to see if the buzzing stops (that problem happens to me sometimes). If none of that causes any change, then it may well be the PS2 that's the problem.

As for the game freezing, it might just be a dirty lens or disc. I doubt very much that it's caused by the PS2 being old.

Just recently my PS2 started acting weird. When I play Persona 4 the game freezes up a little then starts acting fine. This happens only when I start playing. As I continue playing, everything goes smoothly. Though today I used an item later on and it froze on me for a little bit then everything went smoothly from there.

Then there's this weird noise but it doesn't come from my PS2, but my TV. When I plug in the yellow AV cable wire, the TV makes a buzzing sound. But later on it stops making it, or it quiets down a lot. WTF? The game loads fine and my PS2 is relatively quiet. But these two weird things now happen when they never happened before. My PS2 model is a 7000 (or is it 70000? You guys should know what I mean) and Persona 4 just came out last year so it might just be the game acting up on an older PS2 model but I wanna know what everyone thinks.

I haven't played my PS2 for 60 total hours yet since I got it back from repairs and I always give it a good rest after 3 or 4 MAX hours of play. Sometimes I just unplug it and let it rest on a cooler surface in my room to let it cool off faster. If this is a PS2 problem, Sony's service officially sucks. If not, well that's good. My PS2 is still in warranty for a couple more weeks though so if anything bad happens soon I'm covered.

I'm not sure if I have this problem with any of the other PS2 games I have though so it might just be the game.

Edit: Weird stuff started a few days ago, not today.

Edit 2: Oh, and if I unplug the yellow cable, it stops making the buzz noise completely but then I lost my image. But like I said it only occurs for a while.

I had a similar problem with my ps3 when I started playing that.

By any chance does your ps3 power cord have three prongs?

And does your tv have a 3 pronged power cord as well?



ps2 it's one of my most played consoles ever.
tons of JRPG over 100 each. never even repaired.

so the sounds it's may be ur tv, and ps2, maybe just dirty lens



The yellow cable is the video cable.thats why you lost your image. I presume something is wrong with it, or something is wrong with your ps2's video output port or something's wrong with your tv's video input port.

A lot of the time, the reason whay video makes that noise is because there are two things hooked up to the tv with a three pronged plug. Whether it be a dvd player, or the tv itself, or anything.



You try a different AV cord? Sometimes when they wear one part will work and the other won't. This happened to my PS2 about 3 years ago and I had to buy a new one to get video.
