I've talked about this before, but, I'll post an entire blog about it.
I had bought a ps2 fat a long time ago, and it worked for a few days, and one night, I was playing guitar hero.
At around midnight, the system locked up.
I went to turn it off, but it took a while to shut down. When I powered it back up, it wouldn't boot. I just got a black screen. I even did the thing to change any video settings but it didn't budge.
It died. It was similar to an Xbox rrod, but there was no error.
I then contacted Sony and they said it'll cost over $120 to get it repaired.
I later found out that it overheated and one of the processors inside had died.
Applying pressure to the heatsink allowed it to boot up, but then once the heavy object was removed, the system would lock up.
Avoid the 5000x model.
Nobody else had an issue like this.
