General / Refurbished controllers.
« on: June 19, 2025, 05:23:13 pm »
I bought a refurbished PS3 controller off Amazon, because I was tired of buying one that didn't work. Have any of you had any experience with refurbished consoles?

I tried resetting the controller by poking a button in the back with a paper clip, but that didn't work.

I tried to play on my PS3, but my controller won't turn on, even though it's connected to the charger. What do I do?

The guy failed with 3 different copies of the same game though
also movie dvd's generally lower production quality and bad batches.
Yep. That’s why I suggested trying a different console. It doesn’t sound like a disc issue.
If the other console craps out in same spot though, you’ll know for sure without having to try resurfacing or replacing system parts.
Why don't you think it's a disc issue?

I was able to get to Evrae in my last copy of FFX, which I'd estimate to be the halfway point of the game, and I think this copy might be in about the same shape or better.

Do you think it's more likely my PS2, then?

I don't see any stores near me that offer CD/DVD repair.
I looked at the bottom, which has a lot of sticky paper residue, and it says SCPH-7500.

« on: December 31, 2024, 06:59:26 am »I got the PS2 back in 2021. It should still be in relatively good shape, right?
was it used from somebody else or brand new?
Considering it's 2021 I find it hard to believe it was brand new. would cost quite a bit if that's the case.
also phat or slim version?
disc repair, go to some shops or stores that offer a disc repair service, usually should only cost a few bucks.
Pre-owned, and a Slim.

How do you recommend I clean out the scratches?

How is the condition of the disc?

Looked at it. It has quite a few scratches, but PS2 discs are supposed to be pretty hardy, as someone else said.

What discs would that be?
OK, I looked it up, and Final Fantasy X isn't listed as a dual-layer game.
that do be interesting to hear, it is however one of the most heavy games on the system with more data however. I highly doubt it's the game's fault if you tried 3 in nice shape.
It doesn't seem to be in TOO bad shape.
