Slimline PS2 Heat Issues?

It's true - CD labels can cause the discs to read incorrectly or not at all, so reburn with your Taiyo discs and then try them. Labels tend to absorb the heat into the disc, so after a while they lock-up and skip. The adhesive then deforms and is absorbed into the CD-Dye layer causing the discs to fail completely...

It may also be checking the fan in the PS2 is working as it should be. Opening it up to check its spinning would be a start...

Hope that helps...

yeah, i've been having troubles myself with the PS2 slim getting "hot". i've tried different kinds of media, but all do the same. i also don't think it's the fan because original games play just fine no matter how long i play them. i myself have tried many things and failed more times then not. the best thing i got to work was to leave the top open. i have a swap magic disc so i can do that, but i'm not sure about what you would do having a chip. i just bought a PS3, so i shouldn't have to worry about problems like this with it for a while, since who knows how long it will be before we can backup games for them. i also have a bit more info on this stuff on my website, so check it out if you need info on other stuff. good luck to you and i hope this helps.
