Usually, there is a problem with a ribbon cable of power/reset switch. Try using a replacement ribbon of the same type.

One day when I when to turn off the ps2 slim I got shocked and now the unit will not turn on--- I know its getting power because the red light is on but when I push the button it will not change to green

It sounds like a circuit inside may have gotten fried. Have you tried unplugging the power cord and re-inserting it?

My slim playstation 2 is not working need answer quick

Haha i understand your distress :) if your slim ps2 is not turning on, first check and make sure that all your wires and stuff are all plugged in to EVERYTHING. also, make sure your outlet works too. corroded electrical outlets wont work. Also, make sure your PS2 cooler is not blocked in any sort of way. if you need any more issues, just ask :) ~~RJ~~
