>>> I need to get a new PS2..
Remember that awful, Disc Read Error thing you'd get on the PS2? My ex fiance got tired of it so he took it apart and he fixed it! I was so proud! He got up to plug it back in and snapped one of the wires when he tripped on it.
He then took a hammer to the PS2.
I'm pretty sure I remember that fixing it less.
use a FIRE spell on it.
That is why qwerty still can't play with matches.
Sometimes all things need to work is a good push, pull or smack. I.e my bedroom window
Silly qwerty, all PS2s are equipped with a ring of reflection that renders them immune from all magic while strengthening the spell 1000 times and returning it in a field effect around them, so using a fire spell on one would set the room on fire. But I highly recommend using blizzard spells![]()
The messenger is standing at the gate
Ready to let go
Ready for the crush
Too late for whispers
Too late for the blush
The past is mercy
When the future is aglow
When my PS2 won't read discs, I mount disc images via the network from my desktop computer. I love my modchip.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
I had a computer once that would make a ghost noise 'WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' when you tried to start it up. I took it down to the computer store (this was before IRC, thus before I was awesome with computers) and it worked fine there.
When I got back home, it was ghost time again.
I thought about it logically for a while, and realized that the only change was the bumpy ride down, so I conducted an experiment. I picked the tower up and shook it vigorously.
It booted.
"orlllllllllly"
Thinking back, it was probably a loose hdd connection or something, but hey, shaking it helped.
I am reminded of the time at a LAN party with my computer, playing Warzone with a friend. It was smelling like computer parts overheating, which my friends noticed. I explained, "It's just my power supply. It gets like that, it's no big deal." Not a minute later, POP. A capacitor exploded in the PSU. I thought it was hilarious once I knew that it was just the power supply and not everything else.
Lesson learned: Don't use crappy, bundled PSUs that come with cheap cases.
But not shaken vigourously!
