Default Today Is A Bad Day...

My Playstation 2 is pretty much fried from a power failure

And it was plugged into a surge protector

Does anyone know how to change the fuse for the PS2?

That's happened to me a bunch of times except that it was my computer, not my PS2.

I used to always leave my case open cuz I always tinker with my computer (yea, I'm one of those guys) and I had my voodoo5 in there and if anyone knows, that card is pretty big. Well, I was flipping a quarter around and I accidently flipped it and landed on the video car. I saw sparks and I think I fried the AGP port of my motherboard :/ I was pretty pissed about that one. I said screw it and just built myself a new computer.

Any chance that surge protector had a guarantee? Some of the better ones will guarantee equipment plugged into it up to some couple of thousand dollars or so.

That sucks dude. Did this happen while it was raining. I was getting a lot of power spikes during the storm. It was strange.
