Hardware PS1/2 PS2 Artifacting

[bskov]

Hi, everyone.
I turned on my PS2 yesterday after a few months of not using it. It immediately starts showing these artifacts (see image, I can't upload videos nor use links). I used an RGB SCART cable and Component cable. Resolution changing also fails, as console gets stuck trying to update resolution. Tested with OSSC.

Console is an SCPH-39004, original (but repaired) PSU.

I'm using FreeHDBoot but, even without it, this happens.

Can't open OpenPS2Loader since it loads in 720p. Haven't tried games in progressive scan, since I need to load OPL to run the games. GS Mode Selector opens, lets me choose a resolution and exits successfully but, upon changing resolution, the console starts cycling resolutions (I noticed this on the OSSC's display) and I think no audio comes out while this happens.

Is this a GS issue, or something in the DAC? Can this be fixed reliably?

Try with simple composite cables directly connected to your TV. No OSSC.

Otherwise it's a hardware problem.

Could be capacitors, (V)RAM, or the worst case scenario, the GPU.

Run this app can post the results from it.
