My Playstation 2 slim which I had since 2005 has always had overheating problems and the fan is very noisy. Any suggestions?

I use to have a slimline but now i have the big ps2 that i got last christmas. i would get the big one if i was you. the big one has a wifi ability and the slimline doesnt. the big ps2 is bigger soo it has more space inside so it doesnt overheat as fast. although the first big ps2 i had, the disk tray broke because i was not pressing the disktray button and was just pushing it in instead. this is my second big ps2. get the big ps2 its way better

Black mold inside unit, fan becoming noisy, I have a hunch that it,too, is covered with black mold.

My fan is on constantly 2mins after switching on

unfortunately the PS3 fan is a bit noisy, unless you have the slim version. I wouldn't say it is a problem, mine does the same since i bought it.

My ps2 runs for ten mins then shuts off

Feel it and see if it's hot, It may be overheating. If so they have small fans that you plug into the usb port in the front.

Corrupted Marvel vs Capcom 2 data

there is no way to fix a corrupted disk, but to prevent this from happening in the future when you leave a system on overnight, you should keep it from overheating by pointing a fan at it or placing it on a hard surface that is hollow on the inside

Power failuer

Check the outlet, power cord and ps2. Also, PS2 slims dont have fans so it could just be overheated, so just wait an hour or so, should fix it.

PS2 Slim will not play

hi Calex988,
Unlike the PS2 original, PS2 slim doesnt have a fan.
Playing it for 2 days, it most likely overheated and burnt something inside. I would return the console and get a replacement, if you have warrently.
