Ok...I understand that there is google...But I'm getting no where with it at the moment...every search is turning up ps3 stuff which is completely irrelevant to what I want.
Ok here is the problem. I just found my ps2 slim after about 2-3 years of not playing. I was estactic to play this machine again and I knew that with it sitting for so long it may not function properly. First turn it on...really loud...I didn't use any vga outputs...I just turned it on to hear it. I take it apart...not the metal plating, but the fan and give the fan a good cleaning and cleaned other areas where necessary.
Next I put it back together...put the component cables in (Which I tested with my ps3 to see if they work on my tv and they did) turned the system on, still very loud and no video.
So the output problem is within the ps2 slim itself....would I possibly have to go get a sautering tool to fix this issue?
Either way...if anyone else has experienced this problem and has found ways to get their system up and running again I would like feedback. The only thing that might be tricky for me is getting that metal protective plating off the motherboard...those screws feel like they have loctite. (Yeah I did once attempt to take the metal plating off but I gave up for fear of putting too much pressure on the motherboard trying to loosen a screw)
