Thanks. will keep that in mind in case I take the console back out one of
these days. haha. Thing is it's not a matter of taking good care of it, lots
of people take great care of their new gen consoles. but they still break.
not just consoles, but most things in this modern age appear to be made to
break in a short amount of time, so that you're forced to cough up some
money for a new item.

Hi Yohandy and all.
If you are having problems with the console thinking there is no game
inserted try blowing out the cartridge slot with some compressed air if
you have access to that, if that doesn't help you may need to get in there
with some 90% isopropyl alcohol and clean the contacts in the cartridge
slot, how hard this is to do varies with the console. Be sure you use
90%, not the usual 75% rubbing alcohol you get at the store, you can get
the 90% at electronics stores or most pharmacies just ask them for it.
Just put some on a q-tip and wipe out the cartridge slot as best you can.
Some guys I've known use a pencil eraser to clean these kinds of contacts
however I have had mixed results with this myself so don't do it or
recommend it.
As someone else mentioned yeah it is funny how these old consoles just
keep going and going, I still have my original Atari 2600 that I bought in
1980 or 1981 when I was in high school, you can do the math on how old
that thing is and it still works perfectly. Like Clemant I am reasonably
confident my ps3 will be running in ten years, I have had zero problems
with it, I take good care of it, keep the vents and the unit clean and so
on, and besides I am sure I don't run it as much as some of you guys run
yours. I am however pretty sure it will not be running in 30 plus years.
Game on.
Tom

Clean the inside of it a bit and check your cartriges... it should work
fine. Mine worked for over 12 years with no hitches... we got it before I
began my existence. lol
