ps2 finally croaked :(
Well I've had my PS2 for a good 6 years now. Every time I put a disk in all i get is the dreadful "disk read error". I usually remedy this with a few shots of canned air but that doesnt seem to do the trick anymore and after about 4 months of it sitting I really wanna get it fired up again.
I remember years back before I learned the canned air trick there was a link on some sony website where you could put it a request for repair, have it sent out , and they would fix it free of charge. Anyone remember or know anything about this anymore?

Glad you fixed it!
Speaking of, mine is acting weird too. I've had it for about...well, I bought it when the first GTAIII came out so sometime around then.
Anyway, now when I fire it up it goes straight to the browser - even if the disc was already in there. I can select the disc from the browser and it plays fine, but it's never done that before. Is this the beginning of the end?

Anyone know how much the trade in value on a broken PS2 is? Mine recently broke and I tried opening it up and fixing it, but it did not help. I'm just afraid GameStop/EB wouldn't take it because of the broken seal after I opened it up...
I'm just looking to get any kind of money out of it, because it's of no use to me now.
