Okay, I'm sad to say I've neglected my playstation for a few months since I bought a Wii and few new games for my PC.

The one day I feel like playing my PS2 again, it didn't want to turn on. Or rather, it didn't want to stay on.

At first I thought it was just the power cord. So I went ahead and bought another and no, I'm still having the same problem. If I connect the power cord to the ac/dc port and pull it all the way to the left, my ps2 will turn on and everything will work. But once I let go, it'll turn off. I'm think the yellow part, the ac/dc outlet is screwed up.

Any way I can get that replaced, or will I just have to buy a brand new console?


Thanks.

By the way, it's the slim playstation, if that matters.

solder joint on the yellow female power connector needs resoddering. Look for a disassembley guide on the net for a slim PS2. A easy fix for a tinkerer.
