QC: I'm in a position where my younger brother is moving from the home. As such, he's taking games, game systems, so forth with him, but some time prior to this while I myself was away for school, our Playstation 2 was damaged, broken, so forth. It won't spin the disks, so it can't read games anymore.
This is where you guys kind of come in. I've tried a few different venues to try and get a replacement. I had someone pegged just yesterday to try and get a replacement for $20, but he didn't give me any ability to do so and hasn't followed up on my offer. So, I'm asking members, if you have any Playstation 2 consoles that you don't need, don't use, don't want, so forth, and I'd like to purchase, or if someone is so generous to offer for free or for just shipping cost. So, I'd like offers, requests, so forth. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from someone.
The Playstation 2 system has a known defect causing disc read errors, you may be experiencing something related to this. Consider contacting Sony. There was a class action suit I believe related to the spindle of the PS2 machine warping and malfunctioning. Although your system is out of warranty it may still be covered under those terms. IIRC part of this is that if you moved your PS2 horizontally or vertically (if could be held stationary either way) the spindle would tend to fall more in that direction. There are some vague details on the PS2 wikipedia page here:
I don't know if Sony will still repair PS2s free (they fixed mine) but you would have to send it to them and they returned in a reasonable timeframe. If you contact them PM me with the results, I'd be curious.
