Re: ps2 freezes

If its working at first, then I would guess its overheating. Best bet would be to either take it in to an electronic repair store, or see if you can send it in to Sony for them to fix (not sure if they still do that).

Btw, are you on speed? Every post of your's I read gives me the impression that you're either the most hyper person in the world, or have some sort of chemical dependency.
I digress, try contacting Sony about sending it back in to get fixed.

Re: ps2 freezes

Before you take it in, check out where you have it. Near a heating vent or heater of any kind? Inside an entertainment center with little to no ventilation? A dusty room so the vents on the system could possibly be clogged?

Re: ps2 freezes

well i can try to clean teh fan might need be cleaned ill just take apart the ps2 and clean it
wait if i take it apart could i get introble or is the warinty just voided and also could it be the hard drive bc there is a peice of metal missing could that be it but the matel is at the part where u connect it to the ps2 the screw parts i think that wouldnt matter that much

Re: ps2 freezes

You'll void the warranty if you open it yourself. You will also have to be very careful not to damage any of the components. I would just take a can of compressed air and do a little cleaning that way.

I don't think that the missing piece of metal should be an issue with overheating. Hard to say really if we can't see your system. You can try putting a fan blowing directly on it to test if its for overheating.

If you really want to spend money or if you have a valid warranty still, take it to Sony. Maybe they will clean it for you.

Also, try to put the PS2 on a flat, dry surface. Never the rug.

And if that fails, put a fan beside the PS2 and run it in conjunction with your PS2.
