Broken PS2 :(

I broke my ps2 modding it so i could play Winning Eleven 6 on import. I got the warranty sticker back on and it looks as new (altho i had to use black marker on it). Has anyone sent a ps2 back to sony?

<rant>It fecking anoys me that i risk wasting £200 on a ps2 just so I can play a game only available in japan</rant>

At least MS/XBox got that right...

I done the same thing with my first PS2.....i paid £700 for a Japanese one when they were released, and tried to mod it 3 months later to make my machine multiregion.

Everything went fine until i powered my PS2 back on then.... BOOM!
the tray shot out at an incredible speed and shattered into hundreds of tiny bits and the plug melted to the wall.

Well you learn from your mistakes!

I think sony would know if you have opened your machine but its worth a try...paste a little clear nail varnish onto the screws then tighten them up again and hope it fools Sony.

If you have,nt done any damage, there is plenty of game retailers that could sort it for you.
