PSTwo Slim AC Recall

Theres a recall for PS2 (slim) AC Adaptors.

Take a look at
http://www.ps2ac.com/
for a replacement, they'll swend you one free. I've done mine, I'll post pics once it comes (if its particularly exciting)
Applies for models made between aug 04-dec04

 

I just ordered 1 and I don't have a PStwo - I guess we shall see what happens hehe.

 

First Microsoft, now Sony. It looks like I have something else to order now.

 

lol, overheating....

what a huuuuuge shock.

 

Is that what this is about? I've never had an "overheating" problem with mine. I consider something to overheat when it gets hot to the point it shuts itself off. My PSTwo gets warm to the touch, but nothing bad.

Then again, I believe mine was manufactured this year. I guess I'll see when I get home.

 

the us ps2 site has a FAQ..

pretty much the same thing as the xbox, except this is external and can cause more damage than smoking the inside of your xbox.

 

Geez, you'd think it wouldn't be too hard to figure this stuff out before final products ship. I guess the big names are always in such a hurry to get the product out. Because you know, that's more important than our safety...

 

This applies to PStwo's outside Europe? Should owners of american PStwos order?

 

That would explain it, then. I never visit the official Playstation site .

 

Largely Europe apparently, but also some US and Asian models are affected.

 

well I'd rather get recall info that may affect me from the official source than some side site made for europeans. From what I remember, they admit to more hazzards than MS ever did, for basically the same issue.

 

How do you know what they have said is totaly true? For all you know it could burn your house down at any moment now.

 

Well it was mentioned on BBC news online, and they linked to that site - being a UK based corporation, they linked to the european one!

 

hehe it's a drop down menu you just choose them in the drop down boxes - I don't even have a PStwo and I managed to order 1 - they even have pics with the #'s you can use hehehe!

That's the US one.

 

Damn me having a PAL system that is affected

 

it'd worse SONY may send you replacement AC in 110 VAc

M$ sent me 110 VAC replacement code and obvioulsy it'd be far more dangerous than using the old one on our 240 VAC line..

 

Recieved mine. Assembler/borman, they are multi voltage, so if you can find someone in europe willing to send you one then you are in business. it is expected that you return it though, Not sure if sony would do anything if you didn't.

 

Same mine arived. They aint getting shit back from me though... i dont have a ps2 Most likely give it to my moms friend whos little kid has a slim one. doubt she would of seen about this.
