Mysterious technology/geek problem here. Many years ago, my childrens playstation one was packed up and sent to the attic in a cardboard box. I remember being quite decent at a soccer game called FIFA 2001. I had the inclination to play it last weekend. I brought it all down from the attic, dusted it all down etc......., and it doesn't fucking work. It was in fine working order when it went to the attic 9 fkin years ago.

I think DanO is asking if you plugged it in, Marko.
Could it have just gotten too cold/hot in the attic and some electrical component broke? I have no idea, just speculating.2015 AAL - Ezekiel "Double Digit Sacks" Ansah.Comment

I didn't think I needed to plug it in. It's one of those solar powered playstations. Hmmmm, it was a cloudy day right enough. I'll try it again this weekend using electricity. Maybe there is some truth in Dano's speculations!
As for your speculations LFIJ......, I didn't even think of temperature, but definitely a possibility. When it's cold, it's even colder in the attic, and when it's hot, it's melting hot in the attic. This is why I came to the techno thread, for answers like that. Cheers. I'll tell my wife tonight, "yes honey, ye see, it's the ambient temperature of our attic, it's by no means at a constant at any one time, hence having an adverse affect on components." She likes it when I talk technical, and sounding like I know what I'm on about. Doesn't happen often."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith?

I'm sure someone will come along soon and tell me my idea is complete nonsense, so be careful passing it along.

----------------------I'm just messin' with ya. Hope you know that.
I think LFIJ has a very valid explanation. Probably got to hot fryed some components.

It's common for a hard drive not to spin up if it's not been in use for a while. Sometimes this can be corrected with a toaster oven:
I wouldn't recommend this unless you have 'nothing to lose' but if you try it be sure to report how it worked out for you.
ps: Don't put the whole PS in the oven, just the drive ;)Suspicion breeds trust.Comment

Different kind of technology:
Im considering buying a nuwave oven, anyone have one or know someone who does? I love to eat, but hate to cook. There is one on Amazon for $79.00 with free shipping. thanksComment

Now, will I get a playstation one in this nuwave oven Wings Fan? :D
I'm just joking Darl......, I'm going to get back to you on that advice at the weekend....., very busy week,......, and thanks for the info, to all.
Ok I have a boiler ( furnace) flue exhaust too close to the ground outside, labelled dangerous by gas authority......, there is no way of raising the boiler inside to make the outside clearance!! Useless Feckin pen pushing, suit wearing, bum licking wankers at the gas authority. It's not dangerous at all. I have a catalogue of pictures on my phone of boilers I've come across that really ARE dangerous!

Wings Fan, I have a couple of friends that use one at work. They love it and it's amazing the stuff they cook in it.Benny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."Comment

I second this, if the ground is to close to the exhaust, then move the ground away.Originally posted by DanO View PostComment

Or pipe the exhaust higher maybe? I've never heard of boiler exhaust close to the ground. Did the nice man trying to save your life mention the clearance required? How much do you have?Benny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."Comment
