Couldn't fimd a console gaming topic so I chose other consumer electronics.
Bought a used one of these off Ebay from original owner that rarely used it. Really clean in original box, manual, leaflets, cords, controllers. Start it up and it opens to the setting screen like it's first operation. Says it wasn't turned off properly last time. Plays blu-ray, ps1 and ps3 games but no dice on the ps2 games. Screen turns black, seems like it loses the connection to the tv because the "HDMI 4" box comes up on the screen like the thing is turning off but the machine stays on with blue and green lights solid. Controller turns off too. TV is a 32 inch Insignia 1080 and it's hooked to the ps3 with an hdmi. Tried resetting default settings, option 1 via safe mode, option 2 restore file system I think, it gets stuck in a "file system is corrupted, will now be rebuilt loop". Going to try options 3-5 next. Any thoughts? I just can't imagine an inner malfunction but you never know.
