"Probem with PS2 - help me!"

There's a problem with my PS2. When I switch it on the reset button's green LED flashes, instead of remaining constant. Has this problem happened to anyone else, and is there a simple solution, or do I have to bring it back?

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Watchdogf quoted 40%, but that was only because they asked 25 people, most of which had comlained anyway. The real figure is closer to 3%.

5% of 1 million = 50,000.

It is possible that this guy has one.

Just a possibility.

5% of machines - not a 'big' problem.

There was a big problem at launch with over heating and dodgy cheap power supplies, it was on Watchdog, so Sony know of the problems.

exactly the fan could be malfunctioning and not operating at the right temp

It can overheat, that's why it says in the troubleshooting guide "If the green light blinks on and off your PS2 has overheated and is cooling down"!

the ps2 cant over heat havent any of you heard the big wherrrr when you turn it on? its the fan!
its brobably busted take it back if its new or send it back to sony.they will fix/replace it

Definitely the PSU.

I don't have the PS2 here, but that could be the problem as it works on & off. It works perfectly, then resets, then turns off, and turns itself back on again! That's what my friend says anyway!

Thanx all!!!
