After 21 years of loyal service, my PS2 hath ended its reign. I’d complain more, but I have a replacement lined up, and considering how extensively it’s been used, that’s a really fantastic run.
Hopefully I don't screw up and delete anything here- it was kind of the game system equivalent of multiple organ failure. The disc tray has been difficult for a while, but last night, it stopped reading discs, was overheating, got noisy, and the AV cables gave out to boot. She had a good run.
Ah, I see. yeah it's a good thing you had a replacement ready, because while you *CAN* repair old consoles like this.... the cost usually outweighs the benefit. essentially it's why my dreamcast is kinda crippled LOL
What finally gave out on it? I'm shocked to hear it lasted THAT long honestly!

I have gotten a dreamcast fixed, but that was a laser only issue, so less daunting— this just seemed above my DIY level by a lot
