This happened to me a few years ago. A PS2 actually isn;t that hard to crack open, and basically what happened with mine is it was full of dust bunnies, and once I plucked them out of everything and the fan esp. it worked like a charm and still does to this day. Be warned though it voids your "warranty" but chances are your limited warranty has expired long ago anyhow
