I have had a fat PS2 for a while, but recently it just stopped working. When i try to turn it on, the red standby light is on, then when i press the reset button, the green light comes on, but the instant the blue light(open disc tray) comes on, both the green and blue light turn off, then the red standby light comes on again.

try checking the power cable in the back because if its damaged or not the right one your ps2 might not get enough pwer

Check some of the fuses/ICP's (tiny fuses) near or in the power supply section. They're easily checked with a DVOM

open your ps2(it might take a while) and try to find the motherboard and see if that cord is damaged or it could be the silver ribbin and get it fixed

Does the tray actually open when you press eject before it goes to Red light again or not?

Ok the reason I asked is perhaps its just the maybe the DVD drive,worm gear, worm motor,or cable thats gone.

Had you recently took it apart or anything before this happened, as it could just be a cable not inserted correctly.

Well if you decide to take it apart to look at it, here is a guide that may help.
