That’s sneaky of them to do that.
Why don’t you run down to Circuit City and buy a new PS2. Go home stick the dead PS2 back in the new PS2’s box. Take it back to Circuit City and say “Hey this is the 3rd PS2 I’ve bought here that doesn’t work. I want my money back.” She/He gives you’re your $200 back and you go home and mod the new one.
I killed 2 PS2s before I finly got my chip in right. I just took them back and said they didn't power on (witch they didn't after I got done with them
).
