< doesn't think < powered on my CRT TVs any at that time, but during that time frame < used an LCD HDTV, < moved up to OLED in the world.

< wonders where those extra 30 volts came from.

Wow, how did you manage to get your PS2 so dusty?? <’s is surprisingly clean.

< isn't sure, but < would suspect maybe one of the windings may have shorted somewhat, since all the transformers do is step down the voltage.

Either way, < sure was glad it didn't damage anything.

< has to actually clean those consoles. <'s V7 (in the picture) was actually found in an abandoned council house and was very dusty and then < was drilling and sawing etc. the last few days. If < had owned it from new it'd be spotless.

< will clean all of those consoles later, a lot are full of house dust. < just overlooked how much dust was between the little grooves since < got it.

< might make that the job for tonight, to disassemble the PS2 and clean it thoroughly until it looks new

That's actually a very good point ^ made though. Why not have it clean if it's on display like that.

< Thinks Fifo's OCD would prevent him from having a spec of dust hiding on his consoles, not even on the PCB.

What does the PCB stand for, < wonders?

< says it stands for Printed Circuit Board

^ didn't use the "<."

< will have to deduct 1,000,000 Tings from ^.

< will report ^ to a member of the staff.

You're right, ^ should report < to < so < can straighten <'self out.

< made a big error but < corrected it.

< does need to clean that PS2 though but < wonders how Fifo noticed so easily

< thinks it looks worse in that picture than it does in person.

It's no problem, < was just joking with ^.

< becomes surprised every time < sees "Quoted by _ (blank) in topic: _ (blank)

Haha, you’re not the only one!

Steo wrote:< does need to clean that PS2 though but < wonders how Fifo noticed so easily

Well, because <’s used to seeing it clean.

< can imagine ^ having special dust covers for ^'s consoles.

Ah yes, one of the turns on the primary. < wonders if it melted or what…

Haha. Tbh though Fifo was right. < just gave the PS2 a good dusting and a lot of that ended up in <'s face and lungs

Looks a lot better now though so it was actually a lot more dusty than < thought it was. Maybe that will give Fifo ease of mind now knowing its clean

< guessed that was a joke about the tings by the way but it made < laugh

Those old fuse boxes are a death trap and they should be replaced with switches. <'s auntie's nearly went on fire one night and started melting but they came out and put the switches in for her as it was a hazard.

Edit: that was likely faulty or loose wiring but still

< doesn’t.

< Would bet that's a very good guess, considering it initially caused the fuse to blow on the transformer itself.
