When I turn on my PS2 Slim, the screen flutters exactly like when you try to watch an old broken VHS. I cannot get it to stop doing that, and I've tried more than one pair of cables so that isn't the issue. Anybody know what is wrong?
Yeah, I thought it was that at first too, but then I tried two different sets of cables with two different TV's. Definitely the PS2.Joe88 said:is might be the A/V input on your TV
do other devices when plugged into those exact ports do the same thing?

It's chipped, so I'd rather not.playallday said:Get a new PS2CorruptJon said:Yeah, I thought it was that at first too, but then I tried two different sets of cables with two different TV's. Definitely the PS2.Joe88 said:is might be the A/V input on your TV

Whatever. I softmodded mine and I have 100% so far.

Thing is, it was dropped over two weeks ago, and it didn't start after being dropped in the first place, so I didn't think that was the problem. Everything is fine except the audio and video in the menu are extremely shaky. I just tested it though, and the PS2 works flawlessly after passing the menu, both originals and backups playing perfectly.cracker said:You really should have said that it started happening after it was dropped in the first place. Since there isn't any ribbon cable responsible for the picture output (it is built into the motherboard) there isn't any chance that it is as simple as a ribbon cable being loose/disconnected. However, it's possible one of the wires from the chip got disconnected and/or is shorting out a different place on the board. Are you getting audio fine?
Anyway you or someone else will have to open it up in order to (attempt to) fix it.
Well yeah, it isn't too much of a problem, but the thing is, with this problem I cannot access my memory cards to delete stuff. I don't know what else could be wrong but I might just open it up and see what chip it is.cracker said:Ah. In my mind I pictured something more like a rolling screen. It still could be Pal getting outputted during the menu and for some strange reason not in a game. If it jumps up and down but not left and right then it would point to this as the cause. Since it only happens in the menu it's probably not that big of a deal for you and more of a curiosity? Too bad you don't know what chip you have so you could access the menu (if any). I'll just assume it isn't a Matrix/clone since it proudly shows its logo upon bootup.
Alright, thanks for all of your help, I'll just get a codebreaker for memory card management.cracker said:Wow! Those are some pretty nasty joints indeed. I bet the motherboard points are even worse. I wouldn't mess with the chip at all. Just use CB to do save managing and let good enough be.
I'd try to at least remove the chip so maybe you can sell it for soemthing if you don't use it anymore.CorruptJon said:Some of the solder points look pretty bad, but I don't even think I have a soldering iron that is small enough for resoldering those points.
