I own a slimline ps2 and a I have a V12 Fliptop installed, using SM 3.6. My ps2 gets really hot and eventually the game either skips, or if it's too hot from a previous play, will not play the game at all (runs really slow and skippy). If I let it sit for a couple hours and it's not hot, then the game plays okay. I cannot find any kind of cooling system for my Slim PS2 and I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem or if they knew what in the world I could do so I can just kick back and play my games and not have to worry about them skipping due to heat.

sometimes if you tighen the screws to tight on the bottem after instaling the flip top it can cause the disc to not seat right. I duno if that would cause the heating problem but try unscrewing the screws a little and not tighten them as tight.

unless the screws are causing pressure on the laser or disc and they are losesned it wont work, as for putting a mini fan next to it i doubt it will work but its worth a try.

Yes, the fan will work. When i took my Slim PSTwo
on vacation i was in a house with no A/C. And mine
did the same thing. After an hour it didn't want to load
the games up at all. You had to let it cool down for
10 minutes before it would load the next one. I took a house
fan and pointed it at the front of the PSTwo, and bingo!
problem solved. The regular sized house fan (10-12")
should do the trick.

A friend of mine was having the same problem.He told me that you have to have the stand that makes it stand on end so air can get in the vents.But i dont know for sure if that will help i imagine you already have the stand.
Just my 2 cents

mine stands on end just fine without it.
But it is in an entertainment center where there is enough
room to open the top, but not enough room for it
to fall over.

is this true that the heating problem is only applicable to the modded PS2 (slim) ? otherwise un-modded so works as per normal ?
Thanks/Mike

I just read somewhere that sony are doing a worldwide recall on all slim ps2 AC adapters due to overheating.
I'm not too sure if this just means that the ac adapter is overheating or if the Main unit gets too hot.
I might be wrong.
Worth checking out though.

Overheating issues reported in power cords for Sony's slimline PlayStation 2 consoles manufactured last year.
TOKYO--Sony Computer Entertainment announced today that it is instituting a worldwide recall for the AC adapter used with its new slimline PlayStation 2 console. The company warns that AC adapters manufactured between August and December of 2004 have the possibility of overheating, which may result in damages and injuries. About 3.5 million AC adapters are being recalled by Sony: 2.3 million from Europe, 843,000 from North America, 60,000 from Japan, and the remaining from Asia.
Slimline PS2 console owners can check if their AC adapter is being recalled by looking at its label. Adapters considered at risk and eligible for the recall are printed with the model number "HP-AT048H03" and have one of the following five date stamps: 2004.8, 2004.9, 2004.10, 2004.11, 2004.12. Sony has prepared a Web site for its PS2 AC adapter recall, which features a step-by-step diagnosis section, and details on shipping the adapter.
Sony explains that a small component supplied to the subcontracting manufacturer of the AC adapters has been found to be vulnerable to overheating. The company assures slimline PS2 owners that the component was not used in the manufacturing of AC adapters after December 2004.
from what i know they all have problems with heat,
they just heat up a little more with a mod chip.
I have a modchip in mine and the only time it was ever a
problem is when i took it to a house that did not have air conditioning.
