My sons playstation was fine last night, this morning it turns on but will not load any games, the thing isnt even turning around, it's completely dead...

I'm a bit desperatate as it's his birthday next week and most of his presents are PS2 games...

Any idea what it could be?

you could try hoovering it really gently (in the grill bit), it may be really dusty.

is it one of the newer slimline PS2s or one of the bigger older ones?

it's a slimline one...after reading up on the net it sounds like the motor has gone but I have no idea how much it costs to fix

I used to work for playstaion, is it under a year old? If so, ring them and they will replace free of charge. I not, they will replace for £55. Although is you dictate your rights (something about all electrical products are automatically gaurenteed (sp?) for 10 years or something) they will replace anyway, I had to a few times!

cool, my PS2 broken after 3 years, I went and brought a new one in decmeber, but I still have the old one sitting here. I will phone them and get it replaced, for DS' room.

fib and say you bought it less than a year ago, they don't check

I can't do that as they had to replace my PS2 after the first one blew up on DS after 4 months.
