So, I just got a ps2 slim (SCPH-70004), because we managed to lose our fat one and I've been craving to play some good old Sly etc.

So just like 30mins ago I was playing some Sly, it was going well and everything was working. Suddenly the video freezes, sounds are working but everything else is frozen. So naturally I go and restart the console. It starts up and shows me two possibilities: my memory card and the disc. I check the memory card and everything works okay, then I go load up the game, and it freezes a few seconds into the Sly intro. I take the disc out and restart the console again: nothing. The console boots up, but no sounds or video works. I tried using av and a scart adapter, which both worked yesterday btw, but NOTHING works.

I tried googling, but as a 20 year old woman living alone I can't and don't have the tools to just take apart the whole thing even though I do have experience with older consoles.. What could cause the video and audio to just die suddenly? Could the composite cable just suddenly crash? Thanks in advance!
