My ps2 controller will not connect.

I thought is was the controller the first time I happened. But I bought a new one and it still doesn't connect. The red light would pop on the controller to show that it works, but every game I load in says to connect a controller to one of the oorts even though there is one in already. Plz help I need my fix of nostalgia.

My ps2 one day turned off while playing a game and showed a white light. It made that beep noise 3 times in a row turned off repeats and then shows a white light again. I threw it away but I still would like to know what happened but no one else on the Internet seemed to have the “white light of death”. Please tell me if you have had it too and if you fixed it tell me how.

When im in the Ambience I am selecting the System Configuration and then automatically it just goes back to the Ambience how do I fix that?

I turn my PlayStation 2 on and the disc is still spinning and I still get the green/ red light when I turn it on/ off and I still get some of the audio but I don’t get any visuals. If anyone knows/ has experienced this, could you tell me what’s wrong? Is it the PlayStation or is my TV?

while playing games ,about 5 minutes the display became bad.i cannot see anything properly,why?

Hi, I recently bought an old ps2 slim. Hooked it up, booted up fine, even played a metallic CD I had handy. But, when I tried playing a game, it never gets past the PlayStation logo. I don't have another game at the moment, so I'm thinking it may be the disc. The light does not change, but the console emits 5 short whirs at regular intervals.

My ps2 is working yesterday but when i try it now to play it now it doesn't work. Well it worked for almost 3 minutes but before i put the disc it turn off automatically and since then it wont turn on

I just purchased a new AV adapter for my ps2 and when I turn it on the screen is black. The main menu never shows up. I tried plugging it into a different TV and it does the same thing. The fan will kick on and the light stays green when I turn it on so I don't think it's the console but you never know. Is it a defective AV adapter? Or is it my console? Should I try to get an authentic ps2 adapter? The one I purchased was for ps 1,2, &3.

my ps2 is scph 90002.it turns on normal way but afer 15 -20 min it suddenly turns off.what im worried is culd that be a error of power swich sercit or the main power circuit.pls someboby help if you have gone through the same scenario.

I got a PS2 for my son, but we don’t have an AV cable for it, so I can’t tell if it works. While its plugged into the wall, the system turns on, but the disc doesn’t spin.

My own case about my ps2 is that it has not been turned on for about 10 mouths now . When I want to turn it on it shows the green light but does not appear on my TV screen.

Hello I don't know if this forum still work but I just want to ask how to fix my ps2. So I found out while I was going through my things and I found out my ps2.it worked fine until a few days later when I turned it on. The power button was green and the blue light for the optical drive was also on but when I pressed the power or the optical drive button they don't react and the fan also don't spin and the ps2 Also doesn't start

I turned on my Playstation and put in the disc. The Playstation itself is working, but when I press to play the game, the whole screen goes black. It sounds like it's trying to read the disc, but the screen stays black, although I let it run for a very long time. How do I fix this?

When I turn it on, the light remains green without anything showing up on screen. Can’t use the power button to restart or switch it off to red. It remains green.

Tried cleaning out the dust still not working. Any ideas on how to fix, if it’s possible?

Power is on but can not play the games.  Only thing coming on the TV screen is the  Browser &  System Configuration, it will let me go into to change system settings.  The game was coming on before but now all of a sudden the Browser & System Configuration is coming on.  Is there a setting that we have turned off or do we need to change something else.  We have tried to unplug it and power it down.  The system is not hooked up to the internet.  Thanks

NONE of these issues apply to my problem. My PS2 slim turns on fine, the problem is that the disc stops spinning. No idea what to do. Does that mean the motor that spins the disc needs to be replaced?

My PS2 fat model was just turned off normally with also flipping the switch to off before unplugging then when I went to plug it back in, no red light or anything, I bought a parts PS2 because I thought it may be the power switch I replaced the power switch and still no light period does anyone have any idea on why it would just all of the sudden stop even showing the red light or any sign of life in general after being cut off?

My PS2 says please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 form disc, it says that whenever I try to play any of my games, they are all PS2 games, and they worked in my old PS2 untill it stopped reading discs they both have the same model number and both the disc and PlayStation say ntsc u/c which I'm assuming is the region code.why does it say that and is there a way to fix it

I have a ps2 fat that just won’t turn on, the lights or anything won’t come on ether. I took it apart and unplugged the main power switch and plugged it back in to make sure it wasn’t loose. I also tried two different power cables. I used the one from the ps2 and the ps1 and still nothing.

My ps2 shows a blue screen that says “no signal” we have tried all the different cord patterns and even tried a new tv. We don’t know what the problem is. Someone help!

I’ve been having this issue where the screen kind of flickers for a split second, could this be caused by the disc? Or the memory card?

Can't read the disc. When I put it in you can hear that it starts spinning but immediately stops. What can I do?

I have a 50001 model PS2 phat, and the system won't output composite and s-video right. I'm using component/composite and s-video AV cables.

Out of five games on the ps 2 one of five games only work y not the rest

I turned on my ps2 fat console, opened the disc drive to see what game was in it, and then I closed it and 3 seconds later it shut off immediately. I played with the on/off switch and nothing. I checked the outlet and it works fine. ?????

So months ago I was playing Xenosaga just fine on my PS2 slim. Recently I bought a brand new, sealed, copy of NFS Most Wanted and it splashes to the red screen as if I put something other than a PS2 disc into the bay. It's not a blue disc so I know that isn't the issue. When I tried taking it apart to run a test and see if the two pins aren't being depressed to spin the disc I discovered the two halves of the shell are somehow attached and not by a screw. Since I see ribbon cables in there I didn't want to try and brute force it, break something or ruin the ribbon cables.

After opening my PS2 to clean it, it will boot, but with no audio, very slowly, and will not boot to any menu after the startup.

I have a PlayStation 2 game for one my tray will not open for two I took the cover off it and the silver piece of looks like paper or tape that goes from one section of the cover to the main unit came off the unit how do I get that back on to get the power going

So. My PS2 wouldn't load a blue disc Gameshark. It also wouldn't load a brand new copy of Most Wanted. I bought and installed a new laser. Now the Gameshark will load, sound wise, but there's no video. I have to reset the system to bring the video back. It still won't load the new copy of Most Wanted but it does load and play an older one just fine. On top of that there's this low rapid clicking noise while Most Wanted is running. I checked the disk and there's no damage to it so I don't think it's that.

I don’t know if this is a common problem, but when I turn on my ps2, it starts to make a ticking sound. Any ideas on what it could be.

I bought a PlayStation 2 a few days ago. I was playing with it. If it happened tomorrow, I wanted to turn on the PlayStation 2. I saw that it wouldn't turn on. Why is the power turned off What should I do to fix it?

Hola a todos.

Tengo una duda, a ver si alguien puede ayudarme ya que soy un poco novato en esto.

Estoy tratando de arreglar una PS2 FAT Mod. SCPH 50004 que no enciende. Es probable que el problema sea la fuente de alimentación. Estoy buscando una por internet y he visto que en Aliexpress tienen, pero la mayoría son para PS2 Fat 35008/50000 50001 50006. ¿Sabéis si son compatibles? No veo ninguna que sea exclusivamente para el modelo 50004.

Muchas gracias de antemano.

Un saludo.

I have the original FAT PS2 and wiped the dust and dirt off the whole thing. I never opened it previously and when I plugged it in, video and power, it shows red. Turns on and the light stays green. Disk Drive works. Though, the controller shows no red light for Analog and the unit has no video output. I suspect it's either a connector issue or a Capacitor Cap problem. Any thoughts?
