Ok here's the thing...I bought Resident Evil 4 for ps2 on ebay, and it was mint condition never opened, factory seel. I played it a couple times on my PS2, then like maybe a week later spent the night at a friend's house and brought it over. (he has the "new" slim version PS2) We were playing it for a couple hours and all of a sudden it like crashed. We tried to get it to run again but it wouldn't. At first we thought the PS2 overheated. So about 2 days later I tried it on my PS2 (not a slim one) and it wouldn't even start. It will just do the PlayStation 2 thing on the TV then you see like a quick flash of static on the bottom of the screen and it won't go any farther. When I got close to the PS2 I heard kind of a clicking noise like the lazer's going over a bump or something. I thought it was a scratch but I tried the alcahol and toothpaste tricks and it still doesn't work. Is it possible that my friend's overheated PS2 burt it or something? Any help on what to do please?

Noises from a PS2 are normal. It's the laser unit moving back and forth and the lens itself popping up and down to focus. If you hear it repeating the same noise over and over for a long time it is obviously trying to read something it can't. Take the disk to a used game store and ask if they will test it/buff it. And don't put butter or toothpaste on your disks. They get warm, the crap melts and gets spattered all over the tray and the lens. I have an original 30001 model that I bought just after launch and still use it. I can tell you now that lens-cleaning disks are crap. I eventually opened the thing and cleaned the lens manually with q-tip and rubbing alcohol. If you ever decide to do this with your old console make sure you don't pull the side with the power switch out too far as the ribbon connecting the switches to the mainboard will slip out and putting it back into it's connector is a nightmare. Also, I always play my system standing upright. Also, check if your disk is blue instead of silver. Blue means it's a PS2 cd-rom and not dvd-rom. If my system sits for awhile and I want to play one of these I always have to clean the lens manually before hand or I get a disk read error.

The 20 and eighty gb PS3 could additionally play PS2 video games. The 60 gb expenditures as lots with the aid of fact the eighty gb, no longer the 40 gb. The 40 gb is a hundred greenbacks extra cost-effective than the 60 gb. the rationalization that Sony presented the 40 gb is two motives, in spite of the fact that it rather is principally a million. Sony loves to place an outstanding spin on issues. besides, the rationalization Sony stated it presented the 40 gb is as a results of the fact there is going to be various PS3 video games, so game enthusiasts are not going to have time to play PS2 video games. the actual reason is that no longer various rather everyone seems to be keen to spend 500 greenbacks on a gadget that doesn't have a sort of video games, and Blu-ray and HD-DVD replaced into nevertheless battling it out. with the help of no longer which contains the two the emotion engine or the PS2's GPU, Sony saved over a hundred greenbacks, so it may bypass the cost reductions to the sport enthusiasts.
