Weird... the gurus and sifus in this thread seem to be missing...

I just try to guide u guys out

I'm not sure of wat happening, probably something wrong with the cd/dvd drive I suppose. Look for this guy eKai and drop a message at his thread and he'll response when he read it and probably provide solution or fixing http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/311224

What do u mean? Isn't that's normal and PS2 suppose to display the System Configuration & Browser Menu when no disc is inserted upon the PS2 startup?

Probably ur cd/dvd drive or modchip is dying... time to implant a new one Go look for him here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/311224

LoL... drop ur message here as well http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/311224

Well, another one looking for PS2 Network Adapter aka PS2 NA. Sad to say, but PS2 NA can be described as a rare product now which we could hardly get one, even the 2nd or 3rd hand as well. If u r in hurry, ur best pick would be Ebay and there are still plenty of them selling there . Else if u doesn't wan to trouble with importing the product from Ebay, u gotta keep ur eyes on Garage Sales and Lelong.com.my, sometime there will be people selling out their precious gem when they're not into PS2 anymore .

The PS2 NA come with an Internet Setup disc (can't remember properly the name), but not all with it and I'm not sure if any useful it can be. Says all that u wanted just play games on HDD, u'll need a PS2 NA, an IDE HDD (no WD) and HDLoader bootup disc (google urself for the ISO and then burn into disc ). That's all

I'm suppose u can do so, but better wait for higher level gurus to clarify on this .

The System Configuration in ur mem card is the one which store the settings u done at ur System Configuration & Browser Menu. Example changing the time, etc.

thanks for ur time bro.. well.. i try buying in ebay i think. got a few selling NA in garage sales.. already pm them and mostly sold out. thanks again for ur answer.. quite far behind of this kind of thing even im working in it

@vearn27,
thx for replying. sorry for lack informations. actually there is a disc in my console. probs already fixed. ada wiring problem kat motor.

Thanks dude. I wonder replacing a mod chip and cd/dvd will cost how much?

1. How long does it takes?
2. Where to claim?
3. What do I need to bring?

^ refer to gameaxis forums, a few of them also have lense problems

need to register, then send to Sony Service Center. repairs might take up to a week.

ahhh, i insert cd then no icon. no weird sound though.

hi all.. my ps2 jam while playing halfway, got sound while plying, i do no what problem and something wrong with graphic, my ps2 is almost 5 years already.. can anyone help me.. thanx....

can somebody help me.
last night i played COD4 then , the game hanged. so i eject the cd and wait for about 2-3 minutes... nothing happen.

the i force-off the ps3 by switching off the back switch. waited 1-2 minutes before switching it on again.

when i switched on the ps3, red screen came out and it read "Serious error has occured. Please contact Customer Service." I pushed the controller button , nothing happen. then i switch off the ps3 again.

when i tried to switch on again. nothing happen. only blue screen came out.

so what possibly went wrong. it is HDD corrupted?

that's new...all of the while,ive been hearing people crying bout the lens and the overheating prob only.

to confirm either hdd of the ps3 corrupted or other thingy,try detach the hd and turn on the ps3..if it come up wif other than ur red screen..juz turn off the ps3.once more turn on the ps3 wif the hdd.if the red screen gone...congrats to u!!!

bout the ps3 lens prob..it seems it became a 3ROD for ps3 edi..my new PS3 SINGAPORE juz encounter the same prob again..sigh..but after change the lens..it work again.it seems both of my PS3 come out wif the same prob over and over again.but interestingly enough,i have used the original PS3 lens from the HK set into my SG set...and hell..it work...

and to assume the lens alone are defected is less accurate as mine case show differently.the true cause is still not yet discovered.as of my experience owning 2 set of defective PS3,a challenges for a PS3 owner must bare are:

1. Lens failure.
2. PS3 3ROD version (cannot ON and the LED keep blinking RED).
3. BD Rom rotor defective.

my SG set lens failure appear when playing Need for Speed Pro Street while the loading page appear...suddenly the page static...but the PS3 MENU can be viewed (means that the system did not yet crash).it might happend bcoz of the rotor stop functioning (juz a theory, still under investigation).

all and all,my HK set has been my guinea pig all the while.it thought me alot.i might got my hand wif the new 40Gb PS3 to see which version are the most stable one (less defective component) in the future....

bro, thank for helping me but some weird happen today.

before i tried your methods, i decided to do one trial and error...

1st) ok, i tried to switch on mr precious ps3 once again. and same thing happen, "blue screen".i pushed the PS button on the controller still nothing happen. seem like the controller has lost its connection to the ps3 unit. the i switched off the ps3 using I/O button (Open/Off switch - at the front loading disc bay). push about 5-10 second. it turn off.

2) then, i put the ps3 in stanby mode for about 5-10 minutes. the i switched it on again. saw the HDD indicator flashing, then you know what... its working fine again, seem like nothing happen. That really weird!!! i also dont know what was really happen.

I conclude the red screen happen on me because i force-switch off the ps3 while it (maybe processing something or for example COD4 trying to download game setting for IW server)..

So, guys. if it happen to you, then dont panic, just turn off your ps3. maybe 5-10 minutes or more then, put the ps3 in standby mode, another 5-10 minutes.

thanks arc,
mine ps3 80gb SG
product code CECHE06

rite now,ive seen a lot of asian set being defected.to assume the prob caused by dust...i think the bd rom r well protected n sheilded from dust.it might be the heat.

thats a good news indeed for all the ps3 owner...do stay away from any dvd played using ur ps3...as of my SG set,a few days b4 the lens failure,ive let my PS3 playing an ori dvd..and after few days later...the lens failed me..

how to get into standby mode? D:

when the green light become red one... that standby mode. tekan butan PS kat controller > pilih "Turn Off the System" ... nnt ps3 akan berada dlm standby mode.

Cleaned the lens but still cannot read any discs. When I put games into PS2 it just returned to the System Configuration and Browser. Need some advice about this.

anyone having problem using component cable on PS2? my image is distorted, skipping here and there and lots of artifacts on my Samsung LCD using that cable, even during start-up or in BIOS. posted dis problem b4 some time in may but the thread went dead. just wanna see if there is any latest solution to my problem. thanks

guys.. my ps2 fat last time drop from table the dvdrom senget and memory card crushed but i open the ps2 and fix the dvdrom now ok d.. but then now i bought a new mem card put into any slot1 or 2 same cant detect d.. is there anyway to fix this? if yes took how much?

guys i tried using a dvi>hmdi input for my ps3 using a Samsung SyncMaster 932bplus and after searching the net i tried the 2 second blink method and nothing comes out of the screen

even tried changing the output manually via settings , still the blank screen,
was wondering anyone using this monitor for their ps3?
