Angry Hardware problems
I have an older PS2. I bought it used. It's been working fine for the last 2 years. I was playing FFXII, I powered it down, went to work and came home to continue play. But when I powered it up the power light turned on but the blue light didn't turn on and it didn't load. there is no video or sound. any ideas?

I took it to a friend he said it maybe the power supply so I replaced it and it does the same.

Do you hear any sound at all like it is trying to spin the disc? I'm thinking the problem is in the DVD drive itself.

the only thing that kicks on is the cooling fan.... It runs louder than what it normally did.

Yep, I would say the DVD drive is indeed toasted. It's time to shop for another system. This time I would buy a new one and have some warranty to fall back on.
