Computer games were at its infancy when I was growing up. I even had a couple of computer pocket games that I bring around everywhere. The graphic were bad and color was just black. Now, games are so realistic and violent. Some years ago, my brother got a Playstation. We would play it until our eyes and hands became sore. Soon our Playstation started malfunctioning because of overuse. We often did Playstation 2 repair on our own.

The most common malfunction is the error messages. Since my brother loves to tinker with stuff, he decided to open it up on his own. His favorite Playstation 2 repair is to blow really hard on the unit. By doing so he hopes to loosen up the dust inside. Believe it or not, it often works. This technique also works for any toy or gadget that’s electrical. If it still doesn’t work, he uses a Q-tip with alcohol and cleans the insides. More often, the malfunction is because of dust.
