I know what could be wrong with it. Your fan probably stopped working, causing the system to overheat and shut down in order to protect itself. I used to do a lot of ps2 repairs and I have a few spare fans, let me know if that is the problem.

Check the vents in the front. If they are full of dust and dirt it might be causing your PS2 to overheat. I've heard people suggest try vaccuming out the vents with a low power vaccum cleaner ( i.e. NOT a shop vac). If you do call Sony be persitent and firm, but not rude. Make sure you keep saying how dissappointed you are.
Good luck.
