[PS2] Black Screen at Boot or Crash when loading games
I am trying to diagnose an issue with a PS2 Slim (70012) that I recently bought.
I was playing SSX Tricky to test it when the audio got stuck on a note and while I was able to play for about 3-4 minutes the whole system froze.
When trying to boot the system (no disc) it goes to a black screen.
If I unplug the power cable for 20 minutes and then cycle the reset button 10+ times I can occasionally get it to boot in the browser menu.
Trying another game (Seek and Destroy) it loaded the PlayStation 2 logo and then got stuck. Resetting the console gave another black screen.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this issue?
